Evan's (REAL1) Car On The Market

[Al G]

So why do most of you even care how much Evan is asking for his car? If he doesn't get the price he wants no one here suffers. If he does get that price, no one here is paying it (unless one of you is a closet buyer). The only people who should care are those considering buying or selling a similar car and I don't think that describes most of you.

I've been urging RodKnock to come out of the closet for years.

Well, if 911 owners couldn't discuss "cars for sale" and the skyrocketing values of their cars, then the entire Porsche forum would shut down from inactivity. At least the air-cooled section. Those ridiculous Cayenne, Cayman and Boxster owners would just be discussing attractive lease rates and the best engine oil and waxes.

As the owner of a number of air-cooled Porsches, I'd have to say.....hahaha, how right you are. Don't forget discussions of originality....dear god, cobra owners have no idea how carried away people can get. I swear people aren't washing their cars nowadays because they don't want to wash off any of the "original '60s patina" (dirt).

Yep, you're right. I'm sure you heard about the uproar over Seinfeld overpaying for a well-used rusty, but all original, '58 Speedster, and not restoring it. The horror of it all.
