This was in not so sunny southern California. The wife love the tower of terror. We were only able to ride the new cars ride once, even with fast passes the lines were to long.

RKDinOKC 04-11-2016 08:13 AM

Are there people that DON'T get the fast passes?

Porsche-poor 04-11-2016 08:15 AM

yes and wait upwards of 2 hours in line.

Oh, big difference is the two Disney's. The original is tiny in comparison to the 5 parks and Downtown Disney they have in Florida. We were averaging 8 to 10 miles of walking per day. That place is huge.

I am sure it was ton's easier to get to California than clear down to Florida.

The Tower of Terror is the only ride that made me want a t-shirt. The shirt has a cool design and it is a blast of a ride.

Only one time I was entertained waiting in line. Was at 6 flags with a church group. A cute chick was eating a popsicle. She made the entire popsicle, including the stick disappear. Not sure it was a exceptionally hot day, or she just made it seem that way. Pretty sure all the guys that saw her were going to hell though.

Jim, that only hiccup for the trip was certainly a big one. Did they leave the car behind on purpose? At least you are home.

My daughter wanted to ride the tower of terror when she was 12. She says she enjoyed it but holy cow can a 12 year old clamp your arm like a vice. We did the fast pass and got lucky that it was rainy that day so lines were pretty short other than the Cars thing.

Hope to hear back soon on the 911 for whatever direction we go with it.

The seat in the Cobra is a high backed bucket with adjustable bolsters and lumbar and is pretty confortable, but it has a thicker seat back and crowds you forward too much. Unless you are 5' 7" or shorter, then it fits perfectly. I am pretty sure Rick couldn't operate the clutch with the door closed because of how the hinge is built.

Hahaha! If only they took the Jetta instead!

they know better.

Maybe if you had one of those Vortec stickers on it?

flipper35 04-11-2016 11:39 AM

Or just used body molding tape to stick a wing on the back at night.

RKDinOKC 04-11-2016 11:58 AM

If you put a temporary wing on you would also have to add a coffee can to the tail pipe.

Someone asked how to wash their car cover. Another person said to just leave it on when you wash your car. If I saw someone at a car wash with a car cover on their car would have to say something about getting their car cleaner if they take the cover off.

A $.49 hose clamp will take care of that. Rattle can and coffee can and you are into it for cheap!

Aren't most covers machine washable?

RKDinOKC 04-11-2016 12:46 PM

That's what I did for the one I had. Told to not put it in the dryer. It was the Porsche one and for my black 944 Turbo.

Thought about getting one for my 928 just to keep the dust off. Usually end up not using it because it rained or got dirty and I don't want to use it until I wash the car, then forget after washing to put the cover on.

I was unfortunate enough to hear a local backward hat wearing Honda driver take off from the gas station. I swear it sounded just like a giant whoopee cushion. Just an obnoxious long slow fart.

Porsche-poor 04-11-2016 01:01 PM

tell them to buy a car that makes that rumble without the use of after market strap-on parts.

RKDinOKC 04-11-2016 01:01 PM

You might need to listen to some heavy metal and do some head bangin to get that noise out of the auditory system.

Porsche-poor 04-11-2016 01:08 PM

or just go start your 911 and listen to it purr.

I have one of those. 1 5/8" stepped to 1 7/8" then 4 into one in to a 4" side pipe.

Porsche-poor 04-11-2016 01:31 PM

I do to. I put OEM sport exhaust on the 911. 70mm exit pipe.
