    Paying Cash, Financing, or Can't Afford It

    I typically pay cash but it's tough to do that these days. I can take a loan a 1.9%-3.9% and I typically do much better than that in the market. Point is I'd consider doing a loan if market continues to significantly outperform the interest on a loan...

    Who signed this?

    Hello, I picked up several items from Olivier Baretta during the 2000 season one of which is this hat. It was signed by him and several others. Does anyone recognize the signatures? He included it in the box when he sent me the helmet he wore when he won Daytona but it's the "Chrysler" hat...

    NEW VIPER COUPE

    I'm very dissipointed and have no interest in buying one. I sold my Porsche when I saw the "old" GTS; I thought it was the best looking car made. This car looks like part old GTS and part new; frankly, it looks like they slapped the roof from the old car on a new one. I don't care if it's got...

    911 TT or SRT-10? Anyone drive both?

    My kids rode in the back of my 996 and Turbo until they were 13 or so. They were not comfortable past 9 or 10, but loved to ride back there vs. taking the truck:) Good luck. Roy

    Any Nor.Cal 4 post lifts I could use for Measurements?

    I have a www.backyardbuddy.com, the demensions are on their website under products and then the lift. I guess you need one of the high-lift models. You should also check the lock heights... According to the MB website, your ML320 is 72" tall (71.7 including the rack). According to the 96...

    SRT vs. GT-2

    SRT would win based on published lap times at Road Atlanta. One of Porsche's factory drivers (Hurley Haywood or David Murry, I don't remember which) ran a TT at RA in the 1:39s. They ran a GT2 on the same day, same conditions, at a 1:38. I was interested in picking up a GT2, actually had one...

    If you don't have one, you NEED a lift!

    Lift I have a www.backyardbuddy.com. It works well. As for the garage opener questions, mine is a coil spring, the opener is mounted almost flush to the roof. Works great. Roy

    ALERT !! Aftermarket Exhaust Banning in Massachusetts!!

    Re: ALERT !! Exhaust Banning in Mass by Gay Representative Liz Malia Personally, I support banning exhaust systems that are louder than a specified db level. The 12 year old men that live around here running straight pipes on their Harly's are really irritating… Banning "any"...

    Anyone else here have a 911(996) TT? Compare to Viper...

    needasnake, I had a 99 GTS (miss it) and currently have a 01 TT. They are very different imo. The GTS is much more raw, like sports cars used to be. A buddy of mine coined the term "Plexus" regarding the Turbo as it is like a very, very fast Lexus. Very quiet, great climate control, stereo...
