Fail. Looked like the front right line blew...

Hey Jeff, this your tree?

Hahaha! I like it

[Outback Porsche]

Ice storms... A mythical thing to me. Amazing to me that a branch could look like that. I wouldn't be able to live in a place that is cold. Or it would take me a long time to get used to it.



Jeff, your puppy is so cute!!!

Ta Tweeze, we think he's very cute too (and he knows it).

[Outback Porsche]

This is a tree in my back yard.

Wow!

[RKDinOKC]

Well, got the limb down and holes in the roof covered with plastic.

[porsche4life]

Yikes!!!

[pete3799]

Bummer Richard.

[RKDinOKC]

Trees are great until stuff starts falling out of them…including leaves.

[HHI944]

Really really bad idea......2002 Maserati Coupe.....but dang it's purdy!

[slodave]

You like torturing yourself with high maintenance cars, don't you?

[HHI944]

Yup....

Actually, what's really winning right now is a late 80s targa.....The Jag really became a toy car when I bought the disco so no reason to not replace it with something I can put cheap collectors insurance on.

Bugger!

So, guys what's the deal on 964s? What should I look for?

[RKDinOKC]

Higher numbers after the 9?

Don't know, never had a 911 variant, just 914, 928, 952, 986.

I've been on a 964 (C2 coupe) infatuation of late (ask slodave). But that article in this month's Excellence has put a binder on that. Not that the 964 is a bad car. I'd still like one. But it's not as cheap/DIY friendly as an earlier Carrera/SC.

[RKDinOKC]

Isn't the 964 the one that the RS America was based on?
RS America was really popular for club racing until everyone went to the GT3.

[Noah930]

Yes, the RS America was a clubsport version of the C2 964. Barer interior, lowered IIRC by 30 mm or so, fixed rear wing, lightened. I have never driven one, but they seem to me to command a higher price premium than what the (on paper) modifications would suggest is reasonable.

Sorry to see your roof took a hit Richard. Today while my dad and I were doing some cleaning of the garage and I inspected #3 spark plug (one of the misfiring cylinders, plug looked good) the ice cream man drove by into the apartment parking lot across the street. I was thinking of a demotivational poster of most of the US freezing and meanwhile in Southern California we are getting ice cream from the ice cream man, on the shortest day of the year.

[Outback Porsche]

Mmmm Ice cream

I don't mind the 964 either - I've been lusting over one I found a couple of weeks ago. I'm gunna have to keep lusting for a little while longer though. I'm not allowed another Porsche just yet , someone else wants a bathroom reno, and a garden landscaped, and a library built, and a new hot water service, and, and, and,..........

I'm cooking a Turkey for the first time this Christmas. Anyone want to share recipes, tips, etc? Other than what's written on the packaging and what I can find on the net, I'm clueless. Seeing that you lot have your turkey day, I figure y'all are the turkey cooking gurus.
