The last few years I have barely touched my car, maybe drive it once/month to move the fluids and keep the tires from being too square.
Last year I spent a bunch working through my backlog and telling myself I'd drive it more (fixed a bunch of oil leaks, restored the original 6 heat exchangers, etc.) annnnd I haven't. So what to do. I've been with a 914 since 1995 (hello Porschephiles mailing list!) - so there's a fair bit of a inertia there.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) If I do sell it, what's the best way to sell a somewhat unique (tastefully unique?!) conversion car? Slap it on eBay and wait?
