"The Long Haul"
I decided to find out exactly how well Porsches hold up over the years,
and to find out how well mine was taken
care of over the past 14 years. After 5 months in the Middle East
with the US Air Force, I returned to a nice sum of
money to travel home on. So, with the help of Tim Sabelfeldt, I changed
the oil, oil filter, air filter, and spark plugs,
a brand new set of Perelli P4000 Super Touring Tires, fixed a leaky sunroof
seal and hauled ass from Idaho to
Mississippi via Utah, Colorado, Texas, and Lousiana. I was extremely
suprised to calculate an outstanding 26 1/2
miles per gallon! Shaggy really turned heads in my hometown, where
Porsches are still considered too expensive for
normal folk. Somewhere in West Texas, I actually topped my car!
Wow! After 14 years Shaggy is still alive and
kickin!! Does anyone know how to reduce lift on the front end?
After driving my car for a month, then having it sit
idle for five, I was shocked at the power and driving characteristics!
I know now, I will never own anything but a
Porsche. It's what driving should be! ~Solo (April
