You could buy the Porche and have travarish fix it on his KZread and then you do not have to pay him for labor he is getting views and if you are there doing it with him his views go up and you learn something about cars... Win win whine

That isn't a 964 speedster - it's a G series 911 3.2 Series, which was the first speedster since 50's. It is a very rare car and well worthy of the attention your giving it.

Finally! Someone who knows their Porsche stuff. Not a 930, not a 964. It an '89 Speedster built with steel 930 front and rear flares. Likely the tire mismatch was because that was the only size available at the time for the 245 16's because for years nobody was making them. Fix the Speedster!

You, Freddie and Jack dropping the same co-part trip videos at the same time is epic.

The car gods sent them to Earth to torment, pass judgement upon and likely bankrupt the fools that get entangled with them.

Good instincts from tavarish regarding the sticker on the bentley. The symbol is a "wolfsangel". Can't be certain of specific intent of course, the owner might have just had less good instincts about the cool metal-looking wolf shield sticker they were buying.

The sticker looks a lot like the symbol for House Stark from GoT.

100% have toi go for that speedster if i's going for decent money. Wing, bonnet and light are destroyed, obviously and probably some suspension damage, but a GOOD bodyshop should be able to work the rest. Colab with Robby Layton or someone else? Could theach him racing and also get some crossover into offroad and recovery audience.

The Porsche was a G-Model Speedster (replica or otherwise), based on a regular Carrera 3.2. Not a 930 (which was the turbo), though it had the wider wheelarches, or a 993 (which was the last air-cooled 911).
