Bought another.
Salvage auction/flood car. Really mixed emotion on this one and I almost backed out of the deal. In the end, my curiosity and commitment to the deal pushed me to follow through. I trust Woody and he said to stay away (too badly flooded), but by the time I got his message, the seller accepted my bid.
After fees and shipping costs, I could have found a nice 97-99 Boxster for the same. Why did I do it? It's not about owning a nice car. It's about exploration, curiosity, and working with mechanical things. Just maybe this car will 'live' again, but not until after I pull it all apart.


...At least I'll have some nice wheels.
