I had my car up on jack stands with a long Dirk Wright list going on..
My Van died... I went out, basically removed tons of items from the list and put the car back together..tranny installed, muffler on..finished up a few things, nothing majore, tune up and oil change...and DROVE IT...again... What a great f-in car...the van is big and takes turns slow... The 914....oh I missed it. The list of todo's can wait...I will do one at a time instead of getting in so deep I cant drive it again...I hate when that happens, but it did happen to me this time. Beware of DWD.....it creaps up and bites you like the flu and there is no vaccine. So yes, it has a nice salty coating again...gotta keep the rust fed. Nice thing is water removes salt, so a daily bath that takes 5 minutes is part of the program...a weekly run the the pressure washer is also part of the program... Ahhh, the price we pay to drive year round. This thing has more heat than my van....always amazes me...and it comes on way faster than either of my other cars...or the van. Rich |

Rich, your rocker set-up is genius! Another one for the 'why didn't I think of that' file.
One of the big downsides of leaving your car parked all winter - if you live in a northern climate - is missing out on how much fun these things are in the snow. Get the steering balance right between the wheel in your hands and the throttle and have at it! An absolute blast! m. |
