When I poured my driveway I thought I could park 16 914's in my driveway. We may have that many car here for the weigh-in. This would be SUPPER-KOOL. A sea of teeners parked in my drive. I'm getting wood.

Full Version: Sooo..... Aside from the B-B-Q
PM me your address please. Not sure I can make it, depends on how long it takes me to swap out the starter.
How many yards of concrete did your driveway (runway) take?

Concrete is measured in yards. Please post the photo of the cars.I would like to have one for the scrapbook.Thank you.Bob
We poured 22.5 yards and it came out to be over 2200 s.f. with a patio included.

learned something new today
i wonder how many 14's we could fit in my driveway? 
And the transit mix truck holds 9 cubic yards, as in 'the whole 9 yards'
You know that with 16 914's you are going to have 1600 oil spots. 
That doesn't include transmission fluid, brake fluid, etc.

And it is cubic yards, not square yards. It is not strictly about area. You can have a thicker slab/smaller area or a thinner slab/larger area covered with the same amount of concrete.

LMAO. Thanks Tony, I'll find a was to deal with it.

Did it have a set of needle bearings in the front suspension? Did you stop driving it because you couldn't get the Megasquirt to work right?
Ok lets take the overall square feet of a 914 and divide it by 2,200.00. Then you will know how many 914's you can fit.

nah...it just wasn't for me...sunk a fully loaded truck up to the frame rails in mud once...we had to check/fill up our oil everyday...left the oil gun on the front tire after closing the hood and drove off....hose broke, oil all over the place....hit a piece of rebar that punctured the fuel tank...had to use a sheetmetal screw to "slow" down the leak back to the yard...luckly I quite before getting fired
my driving job before that one I took out a complete intersection turn signal making a sharp left hand turn.....I'm a hazzard behind the wheel, hahahaha

My bus is good for at least 20 of those spots, so I'll be the scape goat for the first few people to arrive.
( actually my bus might leak a drop or two every few days. It's pretty tight. I got lucky, what can I say....)

How many oil pans to you have might be a few drops of oil on that Slab after the weigh in 
last week my wife, son and i poured 2,000 sq. ft. 35 yrds. @ 5 1/2" . we did it in 3 pours and we STAMPED it!! it looks like a random slate pattern. after 10 days we will acid stain it to enhance the pattern and then seal it. looks like we just beat the cold. night time pics

Way Kool. Concret is my friend. Shaw pic after the sealing.
