Last Friday a Porsche sold on the auction site Bring A Trailer for a whole lot of money. This, in and of itself, is nothing new. That sort of thing happens all the time.

My 1976 Porsche 912E is a few years older than I am, and as such it deserves a little rest and relaxation lately. It's lived a long hard life with a lot of abuse.
