when is the funfest and how are you coming down from michigan, you may go right past where I live.

I would add theft coverage, but my parents are still paying my insurance, since I am in collge, and they pay for enough as it is. I'm not overly pissed about the audio equipment except for the fact that they took the faceplate to my stereo and now I have no radio at all. I'm more pissed about the $30 Vitorinox money clip that I bought in Switzerland than anything else. While I can replace the money clip, it just won't be the same.

I remember the first time my old 924 got broke into. I felt so...violated..
I've been thinking about alarms recently. Walked into Car Toys and said "I want an alarm that kills people"

Someting you can do is get a wireless webcam from X10 or D-Link. It's gotta be possible to run it off the car battery, and they transmit quite a ways. Maybe installed under the center dash speaker grill (if you have one)? Let it run overnight, transmitting to your PC at 3 or 4 frames per second so it doesn't eat up HDD space.

I had brown carpet in my 944, but it got so much sun damage that it's like purple now. Shoot me a PM if you'd like to see a picture of it.

Sorry about the damage and theft, but maybe you should think of it as an excuse to go back to Switzerland.

wow as if my week couldn't get any worse, I was at volleyball practice tonight, someone came under the net while I was blocking and now I'm on crutches... I think I just need to spend the rest of the week locked in my room where nothing can happen to me

Look on the bright side..
Luckily.... they broke the rear window. When mine was broken into the a-holes broke the drivers door window and screwed up the window frame. 3 days cleaning up broken glass, a day to install the new window and straighten the door frame and it rained all night on the leather seats. : rolleyes:
I hate smash and grab petty thieves- there is no recourse for reconciliation. It's a stupid casual theft for cash thing.

That doesn't happen much in Texas - we carry guns down here!

Sorry to hear this, it sucks. I just checked PET for you and the 968 and 944 have different part #'s for the rear quarter windows so it probably will not fit. On the bright side, you can use a window from a '77 924 up to a '91 944.

oh believe me, if i find out who did it they will have a semi automatic assault rifle to the back of their head and a .45 in their ribs... Nothing like some good old military justice...
