Sometimes it was worse than that they bought because it had Cragars or a Pioneer supertuner III. My brother and I got a lot of tang fixing some of those mistakes, seems like every girl brought us orange drink as a thank you for our refined wrenching skills! When I sold my 986 it was yet to be smoked in, pristine inside, I didn't want to sell it as a roller but it turned out to be the blessing everyone said it would. I can see how someone yearning for a Porsche and unaware that trying to get one on the cheap never is, could get snookered into buying one. I wanted to buy an Opel GT that sat nine years through school in a yard rotting, thank god my father vetoed that notion. The distinction with this lad is people with experience and multiple P car ownership tried to keep him from a mistake, in the end we make our own choices. I owned a modded X19 that we had to pound the rusted pistons out of to rebuild, thing is we had a full dealer shop, parts out the yang, three racks, factory manuals, training and plenty of time. Even in perfect health I wouldn't want to fix that Fiat again.
The first statement I thought you meant "Poon Tang", the second proved me wrong.
