Oops. Color me guilty.

I looked at a perfectly well running 98 Boxster today with 92K miles and was going to buy it (whole car) so I could rebuild the engine and transmission as backups for racing and was going to have someone else part out the rest of it.

Cheaper and easier to rebuild a running engine than one that has had a failure with expensive/hard to find broken components and a billion bits of steel and aluminum run through every moving part in the oil.
