Up for sale is my 1999 911 Carrera Coupe.  I bought it back in November and have been using it as my daily driver since then.  Due to a recent job change, I have a new daily driver so unfortunately that leaves the 911 as the odd man out as my wife and I simply don’t have the space for four cars.  I’ve been completely bitten by the 911 bug though, so in due time I should be able to sell my weekend car and re-enter the 911 fold with something more dedicated to driver education / track events.

It’s a clean, no-stories car that has been stone cold reliable for me for the past five months.  It hasn’t missed a single beat that entire time – fires right up in the morning, everything works just as designed and has genuinely been a joy to own.  It’s without a doubt the best daily driver I’ve ever had – great heat, ice-cold A/C, and excellent steering, brake and clutch feedback.

The car has been in the northeast its entire life.  I’m the fourth owner, and I think the second owner is the gent who installed most of the carbon fiber pieces (which are a mix of OEM and aftermarket) as well as having the rebuilt transmission and LN IMS bearing installed.

I used to work as a mechanic at an exotic car dealership back when I was in my college days.  So, I still do all of my own work.  There really hasn’t been much on the 911:

11/2013 – Changed the oil using 0w-40 Mobil 1 along with an OEM filter and crush washer
12/2013 – Replaced the CD holder with an OEM upper storage shelf (cubby)
        – Installed an Ultimate Cupholder (which comes with the car)
        – Replaced the wheel locks with OEM lug bolts
        – Replaced the windshield wipers – Bosch Icon 22A/B
        – Replaced all the rear light bulbs – tail, brake, reverse and turn signals
02/2014 – Installed a Blendmount Valentine 1 radar detector (mount comes with the car)
04/2014 – Changed the oil using 0w-40 Mobil 1 along with an OEM filter and crush washer
        – Replaced the serpentine belt

Thanks for your time!

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014



$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.

Father-son team grows close by building tuned Porsche

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

We've seen several heartwarming videos of kids bonding over cars with their parents, whether racing together or giving them as gifts. The story of Leh Keen and his father McGrath, though, is somewhat different. Not many dads are looking for a vehicle quite this mental.
As Leh tells it, his dad saw a video online of one of the wild Porsches from Japanese tuner Rauh-Welt Begriff and decided that he needed one of the creations in his own garage. Since Leh knows something about cars himself as a driver for Alex Job Racing in the United SportsCar Championship, McGrath put his son in charge of managing the build from the company.
When the car made it to the US for completion from Rauh's famed builder Nakai, father and son bonded over the red, widebody 993-platform 911. The final product is certainly eye-catching. Scroll down to watch the video that features not only an engrossing father-son tale but also a seriously wicked, tuned Porsche from one of Japan's finest.
