33k perfect car

2000 S. Had major service done 500mi ago, early July. No issues. Driving across San Mateo Bridge, no overheating (I looked), no warning lights, just the muted sound of my engine blowing up. Diagnosed as sleeve slip on #4.

Porsche wants $11k for motor, est $2k for install, + clutch and maybe cats (oil soaked during engine meltdown).

Car is now on craigslist, being sold as a roller.

Don't dream of owning one of these cars out of warranty....
