I thinks the sales pitch of I drove this a few years ago and it had a shimmy on the freeway was BS...
There's other creative stuff on this car. Push button start with a hot wire switch, broken a trunk mount so a long bolt, 30 washers and screw it into the wheel well, wired in top, etc. Easy fixes just WTF folks do to a car DaveB |

Amazing what folks do. I guess most Porsche owners never go through a poor student phase. I grew up in a rural little town in Ohio, we bought $400 cars that had to get us home from wrestling practice and to our fast food jobs. We kept a spool of bailing wire in my buddy's VW Bug for wiring on whatever fell off. When the floor pan fell out, we got a piece of steel from another guy who's dad worked at Hess & Eisenhardt - they made armored limousines - and so the passenger was safe from shooters hiding under manhole covers, and the whole car sagged to that side. One friend was either a driver or passenger in 6 wrecks that totalled the car- three were roll-overs and one he had to be cut out of. Never got a major injury. My cousin had so many cars catch on fire, we joked that she could always instantly find her car in a crowded parking lot. No one thought much past the day when we could escape that little town. |
