One furnace rebuild and electrical panel replacement later, here I am trying to figure out what's wrong with my 986's power windows. I made the mistake of lowering both windows just a bit ago and now...

My floor jack's maximum height is 19.5 inches. My brother's jack is approximately the same. Not enough to raise both sides to 20 inches. I could buy or make tall ramps for all four wheels and stick a...

Thanks, Al. That was one of the first videos I watched when I first got the car. I like John Salt's videos.

My engine swap thread seems to have metamorphosed into TikTok posts in my absence. I'm still busy setting up my new house and shop, and I want you kids to be on your best behavior while I'm away.

Thanks, Al. Lots of useful information in there. So far I've towed two fully loaded covered cargo trailers over there, a 6x12 and a 5x9. Only the Porsche remains to be moved.
