one thing I noticed when being pulled back to home, was a clunking feel/sound on the front. I wonder if it was flat spots in my tires from sitting so long or in me bearings?

That was painful to watch. Especially when she said "this is not a hobby." But she is right, it is a way of life
Also why I always carry a cell phone so I don't have to do that walk of shame

"why is she slowing down?", "don't slow down", "good". was this before the tank pull? i noted the filter sock was no where to be seen in the other yucky tank thread. was it never there? flush the fuel line. was this car out of the way north coast of california?

you should keep that Razor scooter in the 914 as a "dingy"
Been there.

Been there too!! It was when I was in my late teens and early twenty's. My dad towed me home with a broken clutch cable another time with a broken CV joint and another time with a broken fuel line. There was a fountain of gas above the motor. So surprised it didn't catch fire. Now I have a cell phone and a AAA card.

Thankfully the 914 is light and can be easily pushed! Been there and done it many times!

we flushed the shit out of it with argon and kept flushing it during welding. also it was sitting on a shelf for about 1 year.
