Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'Replace him' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace him' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

^ That worked out great time and thank you for taking the time to share the story.
Yes that's my buddy HRH Renn Nicholas - all 138 lbs of Golden Retriever. Born in a barn, like me. My wife's dog is an English Cream Golden - Mia Portia (get it??), not born in a barn.
Learning to love Ferd's car. Lots of fun. Still love the 964, too. The cars are so totally different.
I love driving this car and was able to put it through its paces last summer returning from Lime Rock. Supercharger does not overwhelm the car at all. It just makes this great car even better.
I think the 996 will make a handy snowplow for the driveway. The 964 will continue as my winter beater. Oh, and it is useful for pulling out cars stuck in the snow.
I don't let cars sit idle in the garage. They were meant to be driven.
We're looking for a cream-colored Golden as we lost the pup in my avatar last summer to a heart condition. She had a wonderful life and at 12 1/2 years old, she had a decent run...
Who was the breeder for your cream pup? I want to get a new pup in the next month or so.
Thanks!

I lost my buddy of 12 years, St. Nicholas Golden Eagle "Nick", over two years ago and still cry like a baby over that dumb ol' dog. Replaced him with the two dogs. The breeder is in northern Indiana. Graeber, I think. My wife has the info. Renn, born in a barn, = cheap. Mia Portia, not born in a barn, = not cheap.
Great dogs. Great personalities. Should have been therapy dogs. (well, they are, for me)
Love to hear stories like these. Great way to start your Monday. Thank you for sharing. Would love to hear more about the 964 though and how you acquired
Re: movie car
I responded to a notice that was in the Chicago PCA newsletter in early 2008 - the production crew for a movie was looking for 1992 Porsches in order to assemble a period-correct dealership. I thought that would be cool, so I submitted a picture of my 92 964 C4. I received a call a few days later from the transportation director, saying that the director, Steven Soderberg, had seen it and wanted it for the "hero car". He wanted to know if they could rent my car for a month or so of filming. The movie was The Informant, a true story about a whistle-blower on corporate price-fixing, and the main character Mark Whitacre would be played by Matt Damon. I had my concerns about my car being in a Matt Damon movie (thinking Bourne Identity chase scenes...), but was assured that nothing would happen to my car. What's the worst that could happen? They paid for the car to be fully detailed and sent a transport truck to pick it up and transport it to Decatur, IL for filming on location of the actual events of 1992. We were invited out for a day of filming and were there to see Oscar constructing the monstrosity on the front end of the car. We met Matt - nice guy - and asked him what he thought of the Porsche. "It's a great car, but they won't let me get it out of second gear." We hung out with the crew for the day and had dinner with them. Lots of fun. From that point, the Porsche went from "that car..." to "our car" in my wife's mind. I would routinely find her sniffing the driver seat cushion. They put a total of about 50 miles on the car. Detailed it again, and sent it home on a transport truck. I had another one of my cars in a movie - a 1931 Model A used in The Untouchables. The bad guy fell off a building and through the roof of the car. And it was parked outside the building that blew up at the start of the movie.
