Default WOOHOO! I am the owner of a 944!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been looking forward to this day since 1999! I am the new owner of this lovely beast. ebay, yes. I shall see if I got lucky or... anyway here she is! My favorite color too! (not original paint though)

I'm going to go look at her tomarrow hopefully, and see my new joy up close!

YAY! Oh, hey look at that, post 100! Big numbers are always important right?

I'm so ecstatic! I'm shaking.

You do know that there are no "cheap" Porsches, right? Good luck though!

Enjoy your last meal. From this day forth, your car will be important than the what your going to eat.

...Still you will never regret it.

Isn't the "944" badge on the back on the wrong side? There's your first fix.

Yeah, noticed that but looks like it can be "worked" back proper.

I was thinking of debadging the car, but your right. Either way it'll get fixed post haste.

Congrats. Now it's time to get edumacated and do your timing and balance belts before your 105th post is about a broken timing belt. There's no mystery to this task and highly recommended to the new 944 owner.

Oh most certainly. I await the slow nickle-and-diming to death. But I'll have a nice big grin on my face when I finally kick.

BTW congrats on the purchase! That's a nice looking ride! Keep that road salt from those infamous New England roadways off that thing. . . or at least wash it every couple of days. . .

You cant debadge a porsche.........Thats just not right......
If you need any help, I am local.
I am going to be pulling my motor and doing my second timing/balance belt change, rollers, front seals, water pump, PLUS new clutch, clutch master, hood and hatch shocks, gauge cluster, and a couple other things in a week or so. You are welcome to come hang out if you want to learn a little.....

That interior is going to need some love. Talk to .....Hmmm cant remember his name.
