I'm cheap, but so are filters. In between oil changes I've checked the condition of my oil by unscrewing the cup and pulling the filter. (Guess I'm still a bit paranoid about the M96s) When I do, I put a new $10-$15 filter in. Hard to understand why anyone would change the oil, but not the filter.

Had a "road force" balancing done along with new front brake pads and rotors. Rebadged both front and back deck lids to original. Applied navy blue Porsche side decals to match the top. I bought the car about a month ago, best bang for the buck I could imagine as cars go. 😋

I drove it like I stole it! That is the only way to drive it, isn't it?
