 Do you spend more time on 914Club..., or more time working on your car? |

It occurred to me last night, while I was browsing this board, that I could actually be working on my car, instead of reading stuff on the board. The board in invaluable, but I have come to a point where I check it several times a day, and have sometimes come to spend more time on the forum, when I should have been outside, or in the garage working on the car.

I can read the club board whilst at work and whilst looking after the kids. Working on the car requires uninterrupted time in the garage which is more of a rarity these days.

When I get home from work, the news is on or a movie.
the board is there to take up the slack... The news is bad and most movies hurl. KT |

reading the board = knowledge
working on car = time efficiency = time x knowledge so... your more efficient, when working on your car, with the knowledge you gain from this place (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

At school I don't have the 914 so I spend a lot of the time on the board, I mean a LOT. I've actualy been trying to cut back on the time I spend on the board. It's amazing how much time I spend on here, but where else can I talk 914's (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)?

What happens here, stays here. Group: Members Posts: 558 Joined: 29-October 04 From: Altadena, CA Member No.: 3,030 |
First: what 's the over/under on how long it will take for the first member that spends more time working on his car to log on and vote...
Second: Spending time on the Club is a lot less conspicuous to my boss than re-building a brake caliper on my desk (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) I will say that the time I've spent here has greatly increased the list of 914 projects that I'm not working on...

You are compulsive, seek professional help. I don't really spend that much time working on mine, but it runs well and needs painted more than anything else

I spend more time reading here then working on my car since it starts when I want to drive it, it stops when I want to stop and it turns when I want..I guess that means that I need to upgrade the brakes, put a new motor in and change out the rims and tyres.

I have been getting about 4 hrs during the week and about 4 hrs on the weekend on the car. Hell, its almost running....
Its taken almost a year to- refresh the engine with a new cam & lifters, new pistons, clean up the heads and add new HD springs, retainers new Koni Yellows with adjustable perches in the rear, 911 front struts w/ Carrera caliper w/ vented/drilled discs, bearings, hubs etc and swap in a set of 3rd and 4th gears out of a 912 into the tranny and replace some gaskets.

I spend WAAAAAAYYYY too much time here. I'm so obsessed that I was spending time on the club when I should have been looking for residency! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif)
My 914 is screaming for attention....."If you wont change the rear brakes and replace that door handle that you have had in the glove box for months now, at least wash me Please! " (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) |
