I'm over 914s, after 23 years, and 12 cars. #12 has been nothing but trouble, and piles of wasted cash.

I enjoy hanging out with you guys, I wish it were 1987, there were good cars back then.

Good luck in all your endeavors, and all be safe, people care about you.

Have you lost your mind?

Stop that crazy talk, man. Take another hit and come back tomorrow.

You'll hang here anyway. You know how I know? Cause I surf other sites looking for real car guys that are real people. I have yet to find a site (except the E12 BMW guys) where everyone is welcome and you feel like you know everyone. You'll surf around for a while then you'll be back....

My question is "why?".

Even if you're tired of spending $$$ and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) , why not get a solid driver and simply enjoy it? You now, there's nothing wrong with actually enjoying the car for what it was intended for...driving!

You can still hang out here because all those years of experience are invaluable to beginners. A passing on of skills/knowledge, if you will.

heh, I have only recently become my own mechanic, and couldn't have made it the last 6 months without you guys. It all started with an ad in the Atlanta Constitution, for a 75 Malaga Red 2.0. I got 75k trouble-free miles out of that one, on top of the 50k already on her.

I can't get 500 miles on this car without major hassle, cash, and disappointment. It's unreal how much of my time AWAY from the club is consumed by the crap related to it.

I am getting back to where I belong, in my life: Music; teaching, playing, producing, and instrument building. I could use all the positive energy that creates, to be happy again.

I've been overtly stressed out by this car, as an experience, I'm not a cheap-assed kid, with nothing but time, like Aaron. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

No doubt, I will be around when I can be, you guys are pure gold, genuine, and I think about this place all day, and try never to bring it up in conversation.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) it's hard not ta do dat..

I should have taken my money, got on a plane, and flown to California to buy a nice one, I just thought I could totally trust the seller, when I made the deposit..

The best one I ever had.... FUCK YOU.

I messed up the ad.. heh..

Sorry to hear you have come to this decision. I'm going to miss you dude, so drop by and poke us with a stick once in awhile.

When you get to be president, I get to be ambasador to Canada. Save on $$ moving someone up here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I feel like the world's spinning the wrong way. I wake up come to the computer for my morning dose and the first thread is this one. What a bad omen.

I know you gotta do what you think is best, but I'm really hoping you'll change your mind. If you don't at least promise you'll drop by.

For sure they're money pits and they can be frustrating. They're not dependable and just when you think you got it something else comes up. I can think of a lot of reasons to get rid of mine but there are times in that car I feel pure joy, a physical feeling, like a child. As an adult that rare for me so i'll put up with all the crap and try to hide the credit card statements and hope I can have a few more magic moments.

That's my best pep talk, hope you change your mind

Miles,
I can relate to your decision... sometimes... I wish I had never gotten involved w/the "P" cars...then other times...like when I dirve in my 944 and feel like I'm 25 again...well you understand...the teener is a project for me...I already know it's going to be awhile before I drive it...but it's therapy...nothing else.

I do hope that you hang around and kick us in the ass once in a while... we need you to do it ...


best,

miles, cover/tarp your car for 1 month. relax. don't throw anymore money at the car for awhile. things have a way of ironing themselves out. all will be good in time. get a haircut, and stop breaking the speed limit while smoking pot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif). i can't tell you how many times i almost packed it in and gave up with these stupid cars.
