Speed bumps, the normal kind are okay, the big mothers, naw we can't cross them. I have a whopping 3.5 inches of clearance on the front end. The tow hooks take a pounding.

ah, the famous purple people eater!

Hard to judge the height on that thing with those flares.

you gonna painte her?

So I just ran into a bit of a hiccup on "my" car that's at PPI. an estimate of $4400 to fix what was supposed to be "a few dings, less than $1000". But I got two sets of wheels to sweeten the deal.

Any idea what a set of Turbo Twist wheels with good rubber is worth? anyone have use for them?

OK, I just searched for turbo twist wheels on the forum and realised that they are not worth that much! 1500 if I'm lucky. probably more like a grand.

Yeah I'll probably paint her next year. After I run her new motor in.
I'm thinking back to her original color, she'd be more stealthy. Webbster why 4.4K in body work does she need a re paint or is the body damaged.She sure looked nice from her pictures. Sid, yeah the Enchanted circle is a blast.

I tried carving the Cimmaron canyon in July but Dad's Dodge Megacab diesel just wouldn't take a corner like my 944...

They didn't let me drive anymore after that either....

Cristine's not a 911 she's a 930, she can be evil. Not recommended for children.

Yeah she's kind of "X" rated I'd post a picture of her nose art but Z-man would delete it.
