I have heard wrapping the front end in saran wrap is a cheap easy to remove method of avoiding a bunch of crap collecting while towing. RVers do it a lot on their toads.

Thanks everyone! Sucks being at work as I want to be driving it right now. Having said that it is raining so I want it in my garage again. I'll be towing it home for sure. I took it over there with my flat tow kit & will bring it home the same way. Well not the same route I guess.

Please send clear road vibes my way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Congratulations, I bet most of us have had to go through the long wait before we can get into our beloved 914's.

Unless you have an enclosed trailer I think you should try to avoid the snow as much as possible.

Oh, and no speeding!

Do you have a build thread for this car?

It's beautiful.

Awesome... 914s like yours make me think of selling the 911 and putting the cash towards a nice wide body 914.

Looks like a sunny week ahead for driving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Mine is at the paintless dent remover for repair and detail.

Beautiful car.

I would think twice about the flat tow. If you do, wear protection!

It'll be great to have your car back I'm sure....smart move waiting till morning, no sense taking unnecessary risks, plus now you'll have daylight.

Have a safe trip..post some pics

Couple from today. Pic with my first drive after so long. Plus one when I was leaving. There was snow in bend. After going through the mtns on the way over & even closer to bend. There were a lot of little rocks to help with traction. WAs not digging that at all so I was definitely not going home that way. I took the long way around which worked great. I literally had snow for like 5 miles then it was nice & clear the rest of the drive. Wish I had driven it home but I would have frozen my butt off. LOL! Anyway made it home with zero trouble. Detached it from my tow rig & hooked the battery up. Started it again & smiled while it warmed up some. Then promptly went into town to give it a quick bath to get all the road grime off. Man it's been so long but I think with the new ECU. It is pulling a little harder. Maybe the tune is a little better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Anyway could just be I haven't driven it in so long. IT puts a big ass smile on my face though. Long overdue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Plus I put my suby/vw sticker on. Thanks Kent

That looks like a "I wanna go break the speed limit" type of grin.
