I have Milwaukee, Dewalt, Bosch, Porter Cable, Makita tools in my arsenal but damn that Tool Shop grinder has served me really well considering the price I paid and it's still going strong and one of the tools I've used very often to get me out of jams.

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.

Well, I am on vacation with the family (except my son) he had class and got to stay home and guard the house and dog. This may be the longest andoat irrelevant post ever.
Anyway, in Myrtle Beach sitting by myself drunk at the bar contemplating the future. I have been trying to decide what the future holds for my transportation needs. I have looked at getting a second 996 (for the kids to drive - at least that is what I told me wife). I've looked at a 2005 997 - cheap and easy. A 2006 997 carrera 4 for all conditions. Just actually looked at a 2013 carrera 4 - there are lots of these for sale now - must be coming off lease. Actually test drove it and made an offer, but someone else came by soon after and paid sticker. Debating whether I need more than 300hp. Looked at a 996 turbo. But I dont even approach the limits of my car. Though I do get to test the high speed handling once a month on the way to work. I price out carbon fiber and a new stereo for my car to a tune of about $4000. Then I see 997 turbos, which by the way are the same price as a 997 c4s. Then looked at the 997.2's to get rid of IMS issues. But then see that 2006+ are really immune from the problem. Then look at used 3.4's and want to get a spare engine and send it to Jake for an upgrade next year when he has time. Then debate about just getting a lift and a used 3.4 and replacing the plugs, AOS, water pump, etc and have it waiting in the garage when my car hits 100K and just swap motors. Then I realize I am indecisive and may have a drinking problem. Then I see 2012 991's in the 60K range and think I may just do that. Makes the most sense economically. But then I debate whether I need full leather on a 991.
But this is my main problem. With all the other 911's I have seen/looked at/drove, my car still makes me smile every time I drive it. And I end up where I started.
My conclusion is I need to drink less. And no one else in the world can follow my thought pattern. But I am betting some of you can follow this.
Keep drinking, and start shopping! eBay! You could Buy It Now and pick it up when you're sober!
Do it! Do it NOW! You know you want to. Your wife won't mind. It's only money. You can't take it with you!
Oddly, I'm considered an instigator by my friend. No idea why.
BUY IT! UNLESS YOU'RE NOT MAN ENOUGH!
You asked. I am doing Sam Adams summer ale. But I made a deal with the bar tender. He takes the empty and relaces with a full so kids can't keep count. I am on #7 currently. And I have on no shirt and am lobster red. I am king vacation dad
I look at my 996 like I do with my $9.99 Tool Shop grinder. I have Milwaukee, Dewalt, Bosch, Porter Cable, Makita tools in my arsenal but damn that Tool Shop grinder has served me really well considering the price I paid and it's still going strong and one of the tools I've used very often to get me out of jams.
I bought my 996 in cash even though I could've gotten a 997, but this was my first Porsche and I wanted to start off small with a "starter" car. My intent was to get used to the rear drivetrain layout and upgrade a year later. This was 5 years ago and I really don't have the inclination or justification to get anything new, especially living in a urban type environment. Now if I was living in the vast lands of Tx or something, I might be more inclined to get something more powerful.
Yeah west Texas is nothing but straight roads and the opportunity to open it up with no others cars in view is why I opted for the turbo. Twisty roads i would have got something else.
I had the most eloquent reply to this. It would have changed the world and what peole thought of 996's. But then drunk thumbs ruined it.
Oh well. 996's RULE!!!!'
7 beers before noon...I'm not sure if you're a lousy bum or my hero. Maybe both.
On the plus side, it's early enough that you can pass out for a few hours, wake up, and do it all over again.
I don't know where the $4 beer lives, but it isn't here.
All-inclusives are the only way I can drink to my satisfaction without the wife getting irked about the $$ I'm blowing on the bar tab.
Went back to condo. Passed out. Woke up to debate on whether dad is really drunk or if I am acting like an idiot for show. Btw... What do you think of this cat?
