Yeah, but it's not laminated. This new one is.

Since the last episode...

Warming up in the driveway while I reconfigure the garage for some paint work.

Well, I've come to a point in my life where I feel the need to reprioritize where to spend my time. And an obvious area to trim is my online presence. And unfortunately, Carpokes is going to be a casualty in my cutbacks.

Well, if it is a glitch or error of some kind they'll probably figure it out at some point when their online sales drop to zero.

Or maybe that's the goal? No more online sales?

Sunset is one of two semi-local to me dealers, and I did buy parts from them when restoring the '72 911T during the pandemic. They can be difficult to deal with. The good discounted prices are only available online. Don't call the parts desk and expect to get the same prices. Since I am 'only' 2 ...
