No IMS issues with the 996TT actually. They are a great buy. If I could make one happen, I would.

Right, Mezger engine doesn't have an IMS bearing.

Was thinking of the non-TT 996’s- my bad. Was an issue in those.

So odd. This is an absolutely immaculate Chevy Cavalier Z24. Showroom condition. Who does that?

That is fantastic. Love how steel wheels can look terrific on the right car.

That's funny. I had no idea they made a Celebrity in Z24 trim.

I worked with a girl in the early '90s who drove one of those (not a convertible). She let me take it for a spin. It was actually pretty fun to drive (it had the 5-speed manual). Still, not the sort of car that one would preserve for future generations.

BTW, the hotted-up Celebrity was the "Eurosport". :lol:

It's all relative. That was kind of a dark time for cars. The Pontiac 6000 STE was pretty cool, too.

I’m still baffled at how pristine this thing was. I couldn’t get my camera up fast enough for a better photo. It looked like it just rolled out of the dealership.

I thought the IMS problem was only an issue on the naturally aspirated models? Either way I love the 996 and I’ve thought about eventually picking up a 911 as weekend car at some point. Not so much now being out of work, but eventually I think a 996 will be the choice.

I knew a guy in high school who had a Cavalier Z24. His older brother had an Iroc-Z Camero. Grandpa bought both their cars, and the younger brother chose the Z24 over an Iroc. Go figure.

I remember driving my buddy to the local Land Rover dealership years ago in my Jeep and parking next to a Defender 90.

A salesman saw me checking the Defender out and started telling me about how their sales staff was taken on an off-road driving skills class. As he finished his story he said “...and the instructor drove a Jeep just like yours.”

How to not sell a Defender.

I still like them though.
