well, when we bought mein 912, my dad and i both went in on it together, and it went in my dads name (as he paid most of it).

he's been threatening to sell it because he needed more room in the garage, and the money.


well.. i told him he cant sell it, and we got into an argument and i told him i would buy it from him. i told him i dont have what its worth, but i have a good chunk set aside for a rebuild on the motor, and that i would give him that and half my pay checks for the next year as payments (which would come out to what its worth alone). he would have none of it. instead he gave me a price (basically what i have saved) and i took it.

so.. i now officially own my 912

i know its not a big deal.. its still mine.. but it is a big deal to me. sure i cant rebuild my motor now, but at least its not going anywhere

 

congrats Harry!!

 

danka schon!

and yes.. i know this has nothing to do with 944 stuff.. but most of my friends are on this board so i had to put it here (so dont have a sh*t fit people)

 

Damn, you let the cat out of the bag too fast. I was going to tell people that I bought it and insert a few pics of me standing (photoshopped) next to it....

Congrats! It's nice to know that the money pit in the garage is yours and yours alone. Welcome to the club. You only have 8 more steps to go.

 

lol, thanks jeremy! if you want, we can delete the thread and tell everyone i sold it to you.. hahaha.

8 more steps!? like a 13 step program? what might those be?

 

Nice to see you still own it. The subject worried me alot. Congrats

 

Step 5, Sell all rear engined cars and get a 944!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Congrats on the 912 being all yours. Just make sure you get your dad's name off the title. Don't want anymore ransom threats!

 

Dude, why you gotta run around scaring people like that!

 

Harry, my Dad used to drive an old 365 that, like yourself, was paid in part by my Grandfather. Grandpa needed some cash to start up his engineering firm, so Dad was forced to part with it. "Never fear," Grandpa told him. "I've already got a replacement car for you, Son."

His new ride; a Morris Minor, a monumental TURD if ever there was one. For the record, the Porsche fetched $6000 (year 1961).

Kudos, dude. You don't need no steenkin' rebuild!!

 

Dangit harry!!! I was getting scared reading that!!
Glad its all yours

 

i knew you had something up your sleeve...but one bit of news you guys didnt know, i did buy tifos car this weekend! Heres a pic of jer's last sit in the car before i drove her home.
