I just can't do it!!!!
A few years back my baby (951) got stolen. Since then I have fallen into a rut and just could not seem to get my hands on a decent porsche no matter what I did. Finally I got a deal and got the best 944 n/a I have ever had . http://www.angelfire.com/ma4/xjoshx/cars.html it's the white one. I love the car to death and when I am finally happy with a car I have to sell it. I ran into some problems with the bills around the house and my car has to go. I am so upset. This is my first dash crack free 944. My big problem is I jsut can not say "It's for sale". That would kill me. Reality has set in that it has to go but can anyone give me some advice on what I can do for the emotional part of this? I am attached and in love!!!!!!! HELP!!!

Take the plates off the car, cancel the insurance and just store it away someplace safe, under covers, for now. Someday you will be glad you did this.

You could always do this to live in:
 This, by the way, is a travesty.

selling sounds like a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

I need to come up with 4k faster than I can sell a kidney. I always said I owuld never sell a car because of bills and I would rather go without but I guess when it comes down to it thats not true. I already don't have insurance for it and I can't even afford gas to get it out of my driveway right now. I am sooooooooooo disapointed.

I love how the rear valence was tied into the slightly wider rear fenders and finished off with a full face. It was really done right. I can't find any links or other pics of the car/history/etc.
NIiiiiccccceee though.

TC,
I wanted a Subaru. The closest dealer was 100 miles away in Orlando. The good thing about the focus is all the performance mods available for pretty good money. re: ford racing supercarger $2,700 turns the focus into the supreme rice eater. A few more mods and the Subaru WRX will only see you're license plate

I know who made that 944. They sell the kits for it. I can not thinbk of the name right now but I know they have a web site. I will grab it off of one of my cd's later. I am pretty upset.....I finally got on my car and in the higher rpm's you can feel the clutch slip. It catches really high. I think it might have something to do with that. I don't exactly have great credit so loans are out of the question and I do not see a point in making more bills to pay old bills.

Looks like BMW knew about that car when they designed the M Coupe.
