SOLD - ish

So, here is the sad story: I ended up taking the Porsche to the mechanic to get it looked at. Turns out the fuel pump was only half the problem, the CSI (fuel injection system) was messed up. So it was going to cost like $700 to fix that business. The mechanic spent $300 bones trying to figure out what was wrong. I offered him the title to the car, he said "The title plus $50 bucks..." I jumped on it.

It was a sad day.. I'm out $200 in total (including my Rustolium paint job). The mechanic will probably have it running tomorrow... and sell it for like $2000. you have to admit the satin black was a definite improvement, not amazing but still pretty cool. I think it looked better in person.

And that is chapter 1 in the story of me trying to own a sports car.

It was never meant to be, sadly. It was the ugliest car porche ever made, but you are a great mechanic, and I know you'll be convincing me that we need to buy some run-down something or other in no time. I love you.
