Maybe too much tequila had an effect on Ben pre bridge crossing attempt??

The black 968 on Flickr is the one I bought for $7500 and is really a nice car - I would have paid way more for it.
The 968 I just bought for $500 is here - just uploaded the shots.
I bought a new battery today and dropped it in - the whole dash litup just like it should :-) Very tempting to just turn the key all the way and start it but I want to change the gas first. I bet it would start right now.

Can't wait to run with ya, Dan - ITR is the place to race!
Hopefully I'll have an update that this car is running after the weekend. Got a line on a glass hatch also - want that installed this weekend.

Changed the gas, fuel filter, oil and filter, sprayed oil into spark plug holes last night.
Tried it this AM - started up on the first try - no lifter knock - sounds fine.
Drove around the block - drives perfect. Other than needing a major cleaning and a hatch this car runs. It does have a little smoke coming off the motor - could be crud but I think there's an oil leak smoking.

Yea, now watch Ben say "It's too nice to race, I sold it to some chump in Boston for 2G profit. now I'm waiting for them to classify a '79 Vette"!

Man - I wish I could say that was the cause of bad judgement! I just should never have gone for that icy bridge.
But it really worked out - I paid for this awesome $500 car with fear equity of a bridge crossing!
Plus the disaster recovery vehicle - that was $450 plus a big tip. That guy saved my trailer and my wallet.

I love the blue/grey combo. I have always been partial to the Lapis Blue IIRC that is what that color is called.
