Kicked off the rebuild of our 18 year old, completely dead Porsche Cayenne. Mechanic had a hard time opening the door at first. Battery replaced already (why is it under the drivers seat?!), exhaust system renewed with new cathalytic converters, change of broken pipes, etc. Should be able to pass emissions tests just fine now. Still a long list of todos, incl. engine rebuild or replacement. Could of course just buy a new car but they are just too annoying and the used market has become overpriced.

Old cars are worth keeping. I have 2 old sports cars, one 22 years old, the other 32 years old, both still going well! Routine maintenance and regular use helps. I even have a calendar reminder to start them at least once every 2 weeks. · 2 months ago

@danrl yepp, quite annoying for changes and it's not easy to just remove the contacts for long term storage. · 2 months ago
