What do you do if you have a flat?

I know, I know. . . AAA card.

I also know from personal experience that the spare tire well on a 944 will fit two five-pound bags of ice and a 12-pack of beer. There's even a convenient drain-hole pre-cut in the bottom so the water doesn't sit there as the ice melts.

Thank you for putting up the spreadsheet of expenses on your car Chris. Now I remember why I am still broke.

The engine looks great. I miss that car badly.

We threw this little guy back - he was a little small - but the blacktip sharks (this is a blacktip) are really yummy...

I recently moved a parts car by using three old spares. All three inflated properly, and held air just fine.

Random pic showing how reliable 944 race cars are:


Actually, the reason the picture was taken, is because it's pretty rare the 944s need any work done at trackside. Pretty rare sight to see all of us up on jackstands. Maybe that just goes with the first race of the season- Little niggly things we ignored off-season.
