And on that 986 with the blown engine, local Porsche specialist wanted over $7,000 for a used engine installed so I ended up just letting the car sit for years while I paid it off and sold it for $3,000 with the blown engine and bought the 987. I never did get compensated by that mechanic, they refused to give me their insurance information and it wasn't worth attorneys to get $7,000. All he got was a bad Yelp review

Thanks everyone for your help. I just need to break the news to the wife now. But that's a completely different problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!
