My Boxster is ready. I'll be back on the road soon, hopefully a lot torqueier(sp?).

Hey guys, I'm only famous in the minds of my 10 year old boy and 4 year old girl, and that's good enough for me!!!

986Spyder - The 5 speed willl work with the 3.2 liter, not necessary to have the 6 speed. The 3.2 liter from the recycler that I'm having put in is actually cheaper than the 2.7 liter crate motor direct from Porsche that was the recommended fix, therefore, Warranty Direct should thank me for saving them some coin once its all said and done. Seriously though, the 2.7 and 3.2 are the same cost for used engines from the recyclers, so when I win my case with them, they should pay what it would have cost for the replacement 2.7 engine and installation and I can get plenty of quotes for that. If we have to go to arbitration, I will also be asking them to reimburse me for the transportation that I had to have from the time they erroneously denied my claim, as well as my legal fees and arbitration fees, as well as the interest lost on my money from the time I have to pay for it until the time they lose. So, it should be in their interest to just pay my claim and move on, but we shall see.

To answer the autograph questions: The autographs I sell on ebay are mainly Presidential, political, and historical, with an occasional sport star thrown in. I get some in person and buy/'trade with several dealers that run large auction catalogs and on ebay as well. My niche in the hobby is creating souvenir typescripts. My job allows me to meet a lot of the political types, and I've been fortunate to meet some really neat people.

Randall- I did sell one of my own autographs on ebay one time just for grins and it went for $19.95. Why somebody wanted it, I have no idea, as I'm not famous, I'm just a regular run of the mill Joe Blow. I just wrote a creative ad and put that I hope to one day have Presidential aspirations, and someone rewarded me with $19.95!!! Made for some fun watercooler talk.

Ken- I've never tried autocrossing, but I think it would be fun to give it a go. I'll definitely contact you when I get it back and we'll carve up some local roads.

Take care,

Mike

If you want to talk about autographs, I have an autographed picture of all 4 Beatles. I was going to shell out the money to get it authenticated but they wanted something like 10% of the claimed value. And on a $30,000 picture thats a lot. Besides, im never going to sell it, just pass it on to my kids. I also have a signed michael jackson picture from the 80's when he was black :P
