bkevind Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Well. My wife had a frustrating week, and we decided it was past time to treat herself to something nice. She has wanted one of these for 20 years... His and Hers: 5 Quote
Ceptorman Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 OOOHHH.....I'll take the black one! Very nice. Who get's to drive the Porche? 1 Quote

My wife just bought the Porsche (it's a 2006). She'll drive it most of the time, but I'll sneak in a few drives now and then. Somebody has to put it through it's paces to keep it properly exercised The 2013 Camaro SS 1LE is mine, and can chew up the Porsche from a performance perspective but character of the Porsche is simply awesome and the top down back roads cruising is a real joy. 1 Quote

Is the Porsche manual or automatic shift? Important for ladies. JJK Quote

That was a requirement. I met my wife in a sportsbike club, we honeymooned in Italy, both riding motorcycles around central Italy, specifically scheduled to catch the MotoGP race at Mugello. She's done riding the track, but she knows how to have a good time And furthermore, Klipsch was her idea, I showed her some options and she was all about the RF-7 II's. Quote

bkevind Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Ironically, she now sees the value in being able to garage a nice car. Suddenly she feels my pain with the Camaro being stuck outside since October thanks to the slowest kitchen renovation ever. Whereas before, she was just like whatever. Thankfully the reno is in it's final stages so I was able to clear out space for her princess. And a plan is in works to clear out the other side for my toy. Eventually we'll be building a shop with office space (we both work from home) on the bottom lot, the attached garage will for parking only. Quote
parlophone1 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 No shifting gears on the steering wheel on the Porsche? Quote

JJkizak Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Does Porsche still use needle bearings on their crankshaft journals? JJK Quote

JJK I have no idea, I'm a driver with basic mechanical knowledge. Maintenance, part replacements, boltons, etc but never have torn down an engine. Inside it's all a big mystery of explosions and spinny things to me. Quote
burninator Posted February 26, 2018 Author Posted February 26, 2018 Needed a front bumper for a different Discovery I'm working on, so I got this cheap parts truck. With bumpers, sliders, skid plates, winch, etc. Quote

51coronet Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 I fixed up this 1958 Imperial LeBaron and sold it to a museum in Florida. Dezer museum. Fairly rare car, all stock and everything worked when sold. The hubcaps were removed by me just in case someone wanted them while it was parked outside. They were the rare 58 lebaron version. Currently working on a 2 door hardtop with the all the options except power windows. 2 Quote
