Cause they got the best parts!

A mint set of black script seats to replace my originals and a nice stock steering wheel!

Thanks Fishey!

I am so scared to sit on them cause I dont want them to rip, they are too pretty to cover up with a cover.

Man these are sweet!

I still wouldn't drive to Ohio. . . .

Years ago whilst in grad. school I had to get home from Chicago to Boston - decided to go the Canadian side of the border via Windsor, etc. . .

Upon reaching the U.S. border crossing point in northern NY state, the guard at the checkpoint proceeded to interrogate me with the usual questions in typically humorless manner. 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. . ."

To go to the 944Fest, of course!

Nice seats, btw.

he said he put cab seats in the 924S and racing seats in the cab, so no, his 924S is safe.

I haven't seen Jason since he borrowed my bearing removal tool last year and returned it to me at my office. I seem to remember he was going to put some big brakes and suspension on his autox 944 but I haven't seen him since...............
