i'll be lucky to get her to let me put ss he's and my single tip triad on. i drove the car all day today. nice ride. quiet, almost too. but i'm used to the engine in the silver car, the 75' 1.8 is a bit underpowered for me. speaking of sway bars, do you plan on showing up in bremerton next year? if only just to hang out.

she was teaching her third graders and i was sorting it out. the cup ball bushing at the trany was worn. i had an extra new one and put it in. she's driving it to work today. i'm hanging gwb (sheet rock). i would rather be out in the car with the targa top off.

I did intend to get out to Bremerton this year...to hang out at least...just seemed like something would come up everytime.
You have to remember, our first child just turned 1 this last Sunday. I am still trying to figure out all this parenting stuff. Trying to balance wife time, son time, 914 time & wife time (again) is challenging....oh yea...throw work time in there also....how did I forget work time. I don't know how you guys do it. |

Eric,
My 914 has been driven less than 500 miles in the past 7 years. Guess how old my eldest child is... Hopefully he is now old enough to help (in a positive way) so we can have fun with this particular project. I'd rather have the family than the car, even though they cost many times more! |
