914World.com _ 914World Garage _ wow, what a difference 2 weeks make

Posted by: TROJANMAN Jun 10 2005, 10:48 AM

i hadn't driven my traditional DD for going on two weeks. only the weather forced me to take it out of storage. thunderstorms and rain in the forecast (plus the wife wants to go to vail for the weekend.) but i couldn;t believe how awkward it was to sit in the "other" car. i couldn't crank my seat down low enough, and to have brakes that actually stop the car, wow! but the one nice thing is, that i don;t smell like exhaust anymore.

I did the same thing on Wednesday...it was raining in the AM, so I drove my Saab. I felt like I was driving the boat!

LOL! LMAO!

These are the cars I have locked the power brakes on, while sitting higher than the Fisher-Price pull tractor guy:

Camry
Corolla
Chevy 4x4
Caddy
996
MB 380,500, and 600
Mustang

Well, just ANYTHING with power brakes..
