But other times, I think I have the luck of the Devil. I decided to take my 914 home from my shop instead of my beater E30. Car ran awesome all the way home and as I was pulling into the driveway of my apartment complex I heard a strange noise that I thought was popping from the intake/exhaust.
I turned down the music and as I was trolling along in first gear I gave it a little gas to get over a speed bump and.........................no forward movement

At first I thought it was first gear giving up the ghost so I tried 2nd as I was only 10ft from my parking stall and all I hear is grinding I hop out of the car and push it over the speed bump into my stall and try the rest of the gears and the result is the same.

Turns out the drivers side outer cv bolts had decided to undo/shear themselves leaving me motionless Oh well maybe I can raid some of my 911 until new ones arrive. Luckily, I have access to the shop tow rig so no biggie.

I'm just glad it wasn't the tranny

Gotta watch those buggers. Clean the threads of grease before installation and use new schnorr washers. Or better yet, order the bolts pre-drilled for safety wire from Dr. Evil.

I ordered new bolts and washers and I have the drill jig already from my motorcycle roadracing days

Yeah, what shirty luck. You've got a BMW and 914 to drive. And when you have a catastrophic failure, it turns out to be a couple of bolts. The rest of the world really feels your pain...

Or..... Maybe it could be worse. But hang in there cowboy

If you want to get literal I actually have two E30 BMW's my teener and my faux 911 RS
