It's 2013 - any updates on IMS issues or cost of engines?

I abuse and neglect it, but I drive it every day when I don't have to test a new engine in a modern Porsche before it ships across the country. I drive it in snow, rain, or blazing 100+ degree heat in July, which isn't too uncomfortable with updated A/C. I still believe that Porsches are no about modern amenities or power accessories. I prefer aircooled Porsches and always have; in fact until I bought a test Boxster to apply all of our crazy developments to, a watercooled Porsche had NEVER rolled a tire onto my property.

If I had your commute I wouldn't mind driving my SC, but stop and go into midtown Atlanta is a whole 'nother ball of wax, especially after driving it for the better part of 25 years. I've been thinking about updating the AC to Griffith's or Rennaire, but right now I don't have any AC at all in my Weissach. I still have a much needed paint job to do before any upgrades. I drive it from here only to the NORTH, when I drive it. In fact I found a better way to get to your shop driving around up there a couple of Sundays ago.
