Marty,

You got off cheap. The last state inspection I had done at a Porsche Dealer the bill was $1700 and they did warrenty work on the car as well.

As I wrote that I swear I was remembering your situation and thinking that very same thing... Although, my car passed inspection with flying colors. Thanks to Steve Mankowski for letting me borrow his wheels and tires

Unfortunately, I had a little bearing noise coming from one of the belt tensioners and a lot of noise coming from the other one. That bill alone would have kept me under $500 and I even told Steve I couldn't believe I got out of there that easy, but I should have known better. As fate would have it, when the tech went to shut off my car after his work was done, the idiot lights stayed on and he informed me that this is a common problem - ignition starting to go. Didn't want to get to VIR and not be able to start/stop the car. So, I had to have that replaced also. And BINGO - I broke the $500 mark. Never fails...
