I took the 986 on a road trip. Made it out just fine but it started to overheat climbing monarch pass coming home. I limped it to Beuna Vista and had my dad come pick us up. Then I went to get the truck and trailer and the truck had a flat. Pulled a roofing nail from the tread and plugged the tire. Left town about 5 last night to go get the car. Got loaded and ate and back on the road about 9. Then about 20 miles after leaving the trailer lights stop working. So I pull to the shoulder and find nothing obviously wrong. So I turn on my warning lights and get moving, driving home slow. Once I hit Bailey the brakes were acting up. Limped home at 30 with the flashing lights being a big help. Finally got home at midnight. Now I have to fix the wiring and the Porsche. What fun.

I’m always happy to tow something for you. But I really don’t wanna fix the wiring. It’s not as much fun as towing.

If my brother were here I’d send him over. he’s one of those sickos who actually understands wiring. just look at him happily sorting out my whole loom

That makes my head hurt. At least the trailer is a little simpler.
