My mechanic said a couple of cups of distilled water in your overflow tank won't hurt anything or dilute the liquid gold ($$$ per gallon) Porsche requires for our car's radiator systems. But, if it's between the low and max lines, leave it be. It ain't doing any harm to your car.

Hey, not to bring you down, but as an owner of a 97 with 90k, the scratches around your driver's door handle are going to be expensive to fix and you may well need that cash for repairs of which you are currently unaware. May I ask what kind of service records were passed along to you concerning the maintenance and repairs on the car?

Go to your local art store and buy a # "0" (as in zero) size paint brush or #00 if they have it and touch it up yourself. Remember to only dip 1-2mm of the tip into the paint, not the entire thing. That is if you have a steady hand to do this

The people i bought it from intreduced me to the mechanic who did all the work on the car and they gave me a print out of everything they ever did to the car since he bought it at 40,000 miles.

If I do it myself,can i really get it to blend in or will it always look kind of messy.What do you think of those paint pens?
