Might be you, those are pics of my old 944s, I can wheel it left hand brake. I gots mad skilz

mad skillz stuck in 2nd gear doing 15 mph in the snow perhaps... i need my gear changes and i need em fast...I learned to do without the handbrake... you get the exact same effect by simply dropping down a gear, popping the clutch and engine braking...backend comes around... then floor it to keep the backend sideways... Also in my 944S

Hey Glen! wanna come help with that heatercore tonight? Looks easy peasy by that link....
Man that is just a 30 minute job. You don't need my help.

My MIL is coming down from Enid tonight so it is wild party Friday night at my house.

Well guys its midnight I am throwing in the towel.... I got the entire dash out.... New heatercore in the little box... coolant vaccumed out of the carpet... Time to go back together...


Pulled a Rick and broke part of the heatercore when I got pissed off and just yanked real hard on it....

I think my chat with rico earlier brought me to my senses.... Or what seems sensible to me... Scary Huh rick?



Anyways.... here's what I am thinking when I sell the Corrado... While another 944 is tempting and Ricks old one is very tempting I think I will just continue driving my Parents Corolla... That is what mom would rather me do anyways... And take some of that money from the VW and finally do the suspension brakes and few other odds and ends on the 44.... Then saving the rest of the money and keep adding to it for when a started 914 track rat comes up for sale....
