First garage work for me...and update on the anniversary saga Options

[Mamacita]

I actually feel more like a 914 owner now. I worked with John to install the rear view mirror and the sun visors. I ended up removing the sun visors after I finished installing the mirror because with the 911 seats, we're up too high for the stock sun visors.

I really enjoyed it & think I'm going to really love learning how to do mechanical stuff (never had an interest before).

I also did some trouble shooting last night & figured out what part we needed (ignition switch) and then poured over online catalogs until I found the part. I didn't even know the name of it so I could simplify the search...I just did the whole trial & error method. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Ok...now for the long-awaited answer to the "what do I get him for the anniversary since he got me a 914..."

Many of you suggested getting him a matching one...and there were lots of other great (and some funny) suggestions, too. We made a deal today & he's going on the road to inspect a 914 on Wednesday. If it looks like it's as good a car as it sounds like, he'll be towing it home (it has tight suspension, so a 6 hour drive in it doesn't sound appealing).

Funny thing. It is a matching car. It's white just like mine. It is a Chevy V8, though & is constantly bugging me about having more power. Sounds like I have ground to ask for some additional doodads for my car to make up for it, eh?

YAY...we'll have bookend cars in our garage & I won't have the only 914 in Birmingham.

Thrilled to feel like a REAL 914 owner.
