every time i walk up and unlock the car, get behind the seat and hear the engine start, i think "damn! i get to drive this thing!"
every time someone asks "what is that?" i get to tell them about the little porsche that could...... i make up errands for things that the wife wants that will fit in the car. managed to get 3 big ass storage shelf kits into the front seat and rear trunk! i find that i listen really closely to everything that goes on in the car and worry about every squeak and rattle. i feel like i have a 3rd kid! i see little troughs of rust around a bolt and immediately assume the entire car is about to detonate into a cloud of ferrous oxide! then i hit a large pot hole (northeast roads blow!) and the car is solid so i stop stressing. for now..... i think of setting up a car fund much like my kids college fund. is this wrong? the first spring with the car has been great. i am gonna drive the little money pit until winter and then up on jack stands and i get to turn wrenches all winter. at least my wife knows where i am when i am in the garage. sorry for the length of the post but felt compelled to speak. |

Man does that sound familiar, spent a fortune on my 914 this past winter but now I feel as though the car is safe and running at its best.. I buy things from ebay and pay for a lot of it using Money Orders that way there my wife doesn't get to see how much I have spent on the car using the credit cards.
Now I've become a parts whore, stashing things in case something goes wrong,,, dizzy, fuel pump, etc etc. I think you've taken the words out of a lotta mouths on this board... LOL Little money pit,,, ha ha ha but I wouldn't give it up for the world.
