ok, over the past 6 years, I've done damn near everything on my car... the transmission is probably the only part 'untouched' and even it got new seals and every linkage bushing...
but now, when I drive it, I'm nit-picky, and every little thing seems to cause worry... example... yesterday it got up to the high 80s outside, and my car, in stop-go traffic got up to slightly less than 220 on the way home... and I started worrying of over heat... every rattle, noise, smell or anything a 40 year old car could have, worries me bonkers to the point the fun in the car is far upset by the paranoia... does anyone else get like this? |

I think the same way. When I hear different sounds that don't seem right, I think of what they are and how I can fix them( if need be).
When I get home, I check it out. It's how I learn. Not only with the 914 but with other vehicles also. It's kinda made me the neighborhood mechanic. After all the time and effort of rebuilding everything, it's understandable to be that way. you want it to be right. I do notice when I put all the nit picky anal BS aside and just drive it. I enjoy it immensely. |
