(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) that's what I use mine for (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) When I'm done it'll be a daily driver though.

when I get it registered and get the turn signals working, I hope it to be a daily driver...right now I just buzz around the neighborhood knowing I'm pretty safe from the police (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

speaking of jackstands....I had to build a cabinet at home just for my jackstands.....for some reason I have 3.5 pairs of jackstands (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

I thought the coffee table thing was neat....a story follows that one: My mom walked out of the garage to find scratches all over her XJ6's trunk. Pissed she was but she couldnt figure out why... If you all dont know, I have a 4 year old brother and he likes to get in things. Apparently, his plastic play truck (Home Depot edition...cool little thing) couldnt fit between the garage door and the submarine (as i like to call the XJ6--that thing is a tank!) so what the kid will do is get the toy from one side of the garage, put it on the trunk, and while walking in the space betweent he car and the door, he will drag the car across the trunk. smart kid. now that i think about it, that story has no relation to the coffee table entry. Admin-person, is there anyway you could fix my mistakes?

About 3 times per week to tour the twisties, once a month to the track, and whenever I can't deal with those pesky 'reality' issues.

'Course, I'm lucky enough to have 2 that work, they both need exercise, so do get my teener time in.

yeah when i had the Jeep and wanted to drive the 914, I never could--something always broke or it ran like shit. Now if ether of the two happens, I just adjust it. I couldn't afford to not being able to drive, so i just learned things i needed to know to keep the 914 running. Worked fine for me

we can change the poll, but it negates every vote before the change...you're just gonna have to live with it as is or delete this thread and make a new one.

May not have any relation to a coffee table but a funny story anyway. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Here in CA most of our daily drives are on sunny days!
