I assume you said no?

I've had a few frunks, but none as exotic as a beetle!

A Renault Caravelle, Renault R10, Fiat 850 spyder, and a Corvair

It occurs to me that the Porsche is now the lowest HP car that I own.

But it's still the most fun.

I could buy a base 987.1 and it would be the highest HP car that I own.

Actually, no. I said yes. Or, rather, I took the buyer's number and called (with Caller ID blocked). All I could tell him was that the light had never come on while we owned it. Never heard anything else.

Reminds me...the guy that bought it from me never had it retitled. Over a year later, he asked if I could get a duplicate so he could resell it and I did. Then he never came by to get it. Over a year later, a couple weeks ago, I got a text from someone saying he bought the car and was told I have the title, and could I please mail it to him. Facebook sleuthing the name, we have a mutual car guy friend.
