How many times have you seen this picture?
Well, this is the fourth time in 3 years that my car has been on the back of a flatbed. Twice for the shifter linkage giving out and now twice for spilling coolant all over hell and back. I still don't know what is wrong yet. Dealer has had it for 48 hours and no word. I'm hoping its just a hose. Last time it was the oil cooler? Something like that. I think Dave has the right idea, air cooled is sounding pretting nice about now

You know, at first I couldn't disagree with you more on that note. But then I realized, an M car by itself is still lackluster in some aspects, which is why they have such a HUGE aftermarket to improve upon where the OEM left off.
They're a great car because they're reliable and truely an open canvas where the sky is the limit. But once you modify them to a certain point, they're not really an ///M car. I mean once you start dropping in power and suspension mods, it's a whole different beast than it's original intent.

Just kidding about the Mcars comment guys...
Todd as you will soon learn this is the life of a modded car. Being on the flatbed 4 times is not nearly as bad as being in the shop strip naked for 2.5yrs. Hence you have never seen my 993TT. Every since I bought the 7GT3 and now the CS I have somewhat lost my desire to mod cars. I 'd prefer to buy cars that are good out of the box.
PS that balloon white Gallardo Spider is all you man.
