    Thats why I keep mine around! Owes me nothing, costs nothing to keep around, and right now it's great back up transportation for the winter months. Even covered in rust it still looks great

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    Even before the leak, the coolant would go... somewhere. This car is no longer a daily at all, its a backup :(. Draining coolant, replacing hose with hope the plastic right angle connectors off the heater core dont break, filling it back up, then parking it again. 11.5 years and 259k miles (184k...

    pinball at home is a lot more fun when you dont need to keep dumping in quarters! Had the machine for nearly 3 years now and it has definitely paid for itself with how many games have been played during that time :)

    Short shifter was the first thing I did to my p5 back 11 years ago! Made such a difference. Then about 6 years ago I had a shifter extension made up at work to bring the knob up higher. Now it’s perfect.

    Connecticut here. Been driving the car for 11 years now, and I am terrible when it comes to washing it over the winter (or in general). I dont even have pinch welds anymore
