Offering at NO RESERVE, High Bidder Will Own This 911. Up for auction, 1978 Porsche 911 SC. I bought this car two weeks ago. I am a Porsche enthusiast and I saw this car just sitting in a warehouse. I inquired about the car and ended up buying it on the spot. I bought the car as something to tinker with. As my luck would have it, I also bought a second car too, just last week. I had been following the second car for months and it finally was offered to me, so it bought it. So my delema is what to do with this 1978 911 SC? I can't have two cars in the garage, so I am selling it here, no reserve! There are 3 previous owners with the car offered here. Little is known about the first owner. The second owner had owned this 911 for more than twenty years. The second owner painted the car approx 15 years ago. This is not a color change, the 911 has always been yellow. I bought the car from the third owner. The third owner purchased the 911 in 2010. The car sat from 2010 until two weeks ago. I purchased the car and drove it home. When I first started the car, it ran a little rough. I drove the car home and the engine began to smooth out. This is typical for a car that has sat for 3 1/2 years. Overall the car is in good condition. The car is very solid and rust free. The undercarriage is clean and and rust free. The paint job on the car is very good and I would consider it an above average paint job. The paint job was done about 15 years ago. The glass and interior must have been removed for the paint job as there are no signs of masking tape lines in the engine compartment, trunk door jambs or anywhere else. The trunk and engine bay were painted too. I looked very deep into the trunk well and found evidence of the original color yellow. The wheels are in good condition and all are similar in condition and appearance. The tires and brakes are in fair condition. The Targa top was refurbished 7 years ago and it is in very good condition. The top has no tears or wear. The glass is in good condition. The side windows are crank type, not power. The windshield has two chips. The interior is in good overall condition, there are no rips or tears in the seats or carpet. The seats have average wear. The carpets could be cleaned. The radio is an aftermarket type. I do not have the original radio. The rear panel is damaged in the reflector area that says" PORSCHE". The reflector is cracked. The sheet metal behind the reflector is push in. It needs to be repaired. I do have the replacement reflector part for the repair that will be included with the car. Please see the photos of the damaged reflector area. All lights, side marker lights are working. The turn signals work. The wipers, fan blower and radio all work. The horn and drivers power mirror does not work. The knob for the delayed wipers is missing. The speedometer works but while driving the car, I pushed the reset button on the trip odometer in to reset it to zero. The odometer has stopped moving when I pushed this button in. I think I jammed the odometer and it will need to be repaired. The mileage on the car is about 40 miles more than shown in the photo. I will also include a car cover. The car is located in Surburban Detroit. I would welcome you to come and look at the car or do a pre- purchase inspection. I will not pay for the inspections and I will not drive the car to the inspector. I will not pay for transporting the car but I will assist on this end with the loading and transport. The car is being offered as is. I will not give refunds or price adjustments after the sale. I have a clear title. There are no maintence documents, paperwork or history. A $500 deposit is due by Paypal within 24 hours after the auction. If I do not get a deposit, I reserve the right to cancel the transaction. The balance of payment is to be made by wire transfer or verfied cashiers check prior to the car being picked up. Feel free to call or write with questions. My number is two four eight five six one five one two one. Bidders with zero or low feedback will be deleted unless you contact me first. GOOD LUCK!

The yellow paint is factory yellow color. The paint job was done very well and the engine bay,trunk and door jambs were painted. The engine number is 6281839.

When the facility is finished, Audi expects to source 82,000 megawatt hours of geothermal energy per year from it, or about six percent of its total heating needs. The clean energy helps Audi move "step by step along a path to developing a CO2-neutral production plant," says Audi's Dr. Hubert Waltl. "The mobility of the future must be CO2-neutral – and that applies not only to the use of our vehicles, but also to their production." Read more in the press release below. Supporters have begun a petition drive for the passage of an E15 ordinance in Chicago.

The ordinance includes an exception for stations selling less than 850,000 gallons of fuel per year. More than 4,000 people have signed the petition so far, with others leaving messages to voice their opinion on the matter in opposition to Big Oil's attempt to block it. Read more at Domestic Fuel.

Ring Taxi BMW M3 chases an Aventador SV and Cayman GT4
Thu, Apr 7 2016On paper, a BMW M3 that's loaded with three passengers probably shouldn't have a chance at keeping up around a track with a Porsche Cayman GT4 and a Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce. In the real world, driver skill and track knowledge can make all the difference, though. And when the M3 is a Nurburgring Taxi with a driver that knows the course incredibly well, we end up getting a fantastic lap like this one. The 'Ring Taxi driver starts by teasing his passengers that they'll see whether the Lambo is fast. Before the two of them get on track, the GT4 cuts in to join the party. What follows is a fascinating lap of the Nordschleife. It's impressive how the BMW driver's skill allows him to keep up with the two other cars and blow past tons of other traffic. During faster sections, the Porsche and Aventador start to pull away, but as soon as the course gets curvy again, the M3 is right back in the action. As the group pulls back into the parking lot, even the Ring Taxi driver sounds impressed with his performance. See the impressive show in the video above. Related Video:
