There are a bunch of us in Ohio. Don't know if that is good, or bad.

I run into Jason from time to time up here in Lebanon. Last time I talked to him he seemed to be a little delayed in his P-plans.

Finally he asks, "how long have you been in Canada". I looked at my watch and said "about 10 hours". He said "what's your reason?" I said "going from Chicago to Boston - beats having to drive through Ohio". He actually laughed at that one and handed me my license back, saying "can't argue with you there. . ."
This Ohioan has been to Boston and you can have it.

Takes me a little less than 5 hours to get to Mid-Ohio from here. I miss the Runoffs!

I was in Lebanon last week to check out an early 944 that was for sale. The car is still there if anyone needs a phone number. The interior was shot but i was told that the engine was good. It did have a nice set of gold fuch's on it. Thought I would let the other Ohioans know. I didn't grab the car because noone was home at the time I got there and I didn't have the time to stick around.

With the fuel line I didn't replace replace it, but I replaced it....

I took xsboost90's advice and completely cut the rubber part off, the metal underneath was a barbed fitting.
From pepboys I got a replacement fuel injection hose muscled it over the barbed ends as it was a little tighter than the old one, double clamped it and viola!
Worked like a charm. I am thinking of just re-ebaying that OEM fuel line instead of spending another $179 to get the other half to match.
In the spring, I plan on pulling out both fuel lines, and refitting new rubber bits, especially by the tank and pump.
Just in time for FEST!

Unfortunately I didn't get to drive the 924S to OH, the GF and I took her Yaris.
I still haven't put it my radio, two nights ago I pulled two nails out of one of my rear tires when I was measuring for the rear flares.
I was able to fix-a-flat it, but I still need an alignment, and I gotta pick up the winter wheels I got (old cookies) and put new snow rubbers on them.
Not to mention I am waiting for my belt tools so I can retension my belts, since 1500 miles is here! The 924S is on DD duty right now (short trips).

nice! glad to hear it! I put the ski rack on mine and drove it to the slopes today! I had my iceburg incident about a week ago... noticed today the grille was askew... knew about the taco'd air dam when the 'burg incident happened. luckily, it's on the side that doesn't have anything important behind it...
