I thought someone said Tom was planning to rock the mullett to the train station and keep the 944 as a garage queen...

As Tom said, I saw that car in Maplewood last week or so..
My dog took a leak near it
so thats the smell i cant get rid of

and no, i will still stand up for the mullet when someone tries to knock it. as peppy as the S2 is, i bet andy asked himself if he was starting in third this morning after driving the mullet yesterday. it took me a while to accept that the S2 was in first not third. and i almost looked for sixth a few times.

Oh crap. I forgot the T in bought! Oh well.

Tom...the Camaro has torque, but overall, I think the S2 is more of a fun car to drive. Loud, rumble isn't my thing! Couple of kids in Maplewood pointed and gawked as I revved the engine at a light though!

I hate laughing out loud at work...especially when the only thing conversing with me is my monitor...and the nearest person is 12 feet away.

i think the inside of the muffler rotted out on the Z28. I didnt realize how loud it was till i drove the S2. In september i thought the volume was close to equal in both cars. then there was the time a jerk wouldnt let me merge as my lane was ending. the camaro growled real loud when i floored it. scared myself when that happened.

Jill likes the car. she and my brother both said it feels lighter then my red S2. she looked at the bra, raised her eyebrows and asked if i had any intention of putting "that ugly thing" on the car. she then proceeded to snap the rear view mirror off as she went to adjust it. the guys latest receipt has a $25 charge for attaching the mirror!

Ah the joys of tinkering with a porsche. gotta get the JB weld out of hiding.

I go away for the weekend (Mid-Ohio DE) and miss all the hoopla!

Congrats Tom: welcome back to the fold!

So, if you get 968 wheels, will you be getting rid of your D-90's? ? (I am looking again for track wheels...)

You gotta start participating in NNJR autocrosses with that S2!

Can't wait to see it!

Yup...bad muffler. Feels like the car isn't running on all 8 (it is an 8 right?). Bad muffler will ruin the fun fast! Shouldn't be too expensive, Chevy and all!

Broken mirror...another 7 years bad luck! First the driver's side mirror, now the rear view! Uh-oh!

When Jill broke the mirror off, did you explain that you will now need shocks because of her misshap!?

that muffler is staying in the camaro till it falls off. gotta get my $$ priorities down. gotta do something about the camaro's a/c though. something was not right yesterday, probably just needs a boost of non freon.

The car was bought as a weekend, DE toy. gonna keep autoxing the mullet with PCA, less embarrasing.

The car is almost too clean to DE.

she snapped the whole thing off the windshield so its just a glue job.

do you believe the jerk (the same jerk that sent me on I78 west for one exit to get to I78 east - 9 miles each way in a car with no insurance, no registration aaargghh) paid a couple hundred dollars to replace the glass in the drivers mirror!

I didn't really hear what happend to that mirror. But he seemed like the hands-off type to me!

This same guy was showing you the car with a huge car cover stuffed into the back seat! Duh. Good thing we knew a good car when we saw it!

There is no such thing as a car too clean to DE.


Ok, maybe a new 911 GT3.

You've been driving the Mullet way too long....
