This way we can produce threads like... complain to each other about how our arthritis effects our shifting ability, or why we can read the damn gauges because the numbers are too small, or the times we blacked out from the insane G-forces of the recent mods....
I like that....the age does make a difference. For example a simple operation like removing and replacing the IC. Those little nuts in awkard places are tough to work with, not to mention timetaking when you have stiff and painful joints on your thumbs and other fingers due to arthritis. Little things like putting new and nice pedals on: well drilling those holes in an awkward position for hours makes your body hurt for days after that....

I have a pet theory that the 'ultimate' car for any person is the one that was the must-have car when they turned 16. In 85 I was 16 and now I drive an 85 930. I think that is why there are so many of us mid thirty folks.

35, bought my 78 930 at the ripe young age of 21. Way over my head at the time but knew I had to have it. 14 years later and still walk around it and stare.

28 months and counting

I keep a running tab of the time in my Pelican sig but I haven't bothered here.

When I bought the car I planned to take it apart shortly after the purchase, I just always forget that my projects run long, real long.


My wife asked if the kart racing and 930 were a sign of mid-life crisis!?!?
I told her she'd know when I hit mid-life crisis because I'll come home in something red with a prancing horse on the hood.

Agree completely. Saw my first 930 at around 10-11 years old, and was just mesmerized by the rear flares and wing. Have to get one when I grow up, I thought to myself...

Well, I got one, but I don't think I've grown up yet...
