Yes, I try to plan ahead but its hard to know what else you might need once you dig into the job.

I love Pelican Parts. They have literally taught me how to maintain and repair my Boxster, 996, 944 Turbo, 911SC along with my two BMW 325i's and X5. Plus, they are very nice when you call them on the phone. I mean like super nice and really helpful.

I have literally saved tens of thousands of dollars in repair bills. Someone might call me a 1%'er but I could care less about an $8 shipping charge or $20 difference in price of the part when most of the jobs that I do would cost $500-$1,000+ at a repair shop and I can get them done for $100-$350 in parts. The savings swamp the minor shipping cost or price differential.

I hope one day to meet Wayne. If I do, I plan to do three things;

1. Shake his hand
2. Thank him for all of the help
3. Beg him for a ride in the 959
you are also pretty close and can do will call

Haven't met Wayne, but did drop off my 101 projects book and he did a Personal autograph to me and they mailed I back to me
