Happy fridayy! Looks like rain in my parts so far. Anybody get snow yet?

 

No snow, no rain, no nothing here. They be saying snow starts at 3 pm, but they also said snow would start at 3 am last night. Weatherman is one of the few job where you get paid to be wrong on a regular base

 

Raining lightly in Philly.

In case no one knows, it's VDM New Years this weekend.

 

snow in Northern Jersey. Waiting patiently for my engine....

 

 

^ damn son, cutting it close for CTD

 

Happy New Years to Marc and all my other Viet brethren.

 

They say the majority of snow will come tonight and the wintery mix will start around 3pm. I'm getting the F out of dodge ASAP today (Im not trying to sit in the corolla for 3 hours this afternoon for a little rain). It's lovely that the new Friday trend in the hospital is to consult the living **** out of me. So much for easy Fridays .

 

Stupid Friday question: would anyone, who is shopping for a DD in the $15-18k price range, consider buying a N/A 996 911? There are a ton out there for sub $20s with pretty low mileage.

I'm wondering if upkeep would be the deal breaker. With low mileage, it should only need oil changes and brakes/tires for a few years. Anybody ever change the oil on a 911?

 

Still!!! I was gonna hit you up last night to see if it was running yet.

Hope you get it today so you can be stuck in the garage all weekend working.

 

I hear that to change the oil in 911, you have to put it on a rotisserie and flip it upside down to let it drain out the oil cap.

 

No snow in central jersey yet (Princeton area)

 

I hear you have to drop the motor out of the bottom.
Seriously though, looking in those engine bay it looks like nothing is easy to do.

 

I'd say for that price range, if you're thinking of an impractical car like a 911, might as well get an s2k. Reliable, cheap maintenance, good mileage, and you can still track the hell out of it. And best of all, its a HONDUH

 

Yea dude, I'd be getting the heck out of the city early too. People are stupid when the snow starts falling.

One of my friends have been talking to me about buying a new car for the same price range. Been shooting me random stuff; the worst being an 05 Audi A6 with 80k. For some reason, this fool is against financing. I think putting down a large some of money on a car is stupid for liquidity purpose. In any case, I'd be getting stupid stupidly cheap and easy to work on, or finance something reliable. I'm all about getting a 335D now if the truck doesn't happen.
