your question should be then, "did you attempt to get your car running today?"

As of now, its my only transportation. I ended up putting almost 100 miles on it yesterday alone. Allthough it was funny, the dme went out and it wouldnt start. So what did I do ? took the spare one off the shelf. worked fine.

All with a WG stuck open. Frustration is my name

Yes I did. Several.

One saturday morning to warm up the tranny fluid. Then another yesterday afternoon to test out the new tranny fluid and the new 18mm rear sway bar I installed while under the car yesterday.

However, other than the bottom end, I have no carbon buildup... everything up top is new or has been cleaned and renewed within the last 2500 miles.

On tap for today is the freaking balance belt squealing and checking the OPS... for some reason I'm always pegged above 5. Then of course, another drive! Have to be ready for that track day this coming friday.

I just drove the turbo... it went from the driveway to the sidewalk so my parents could move their cars out of the garage...

The 5 foot snow drift in front of my extra garage melted down to about 3 foot yesterday. I need a 15psi fix real bad!

For the first time in about a month, I drove the 944. My AFM was messed up and I just got a chance to replace it this week when it finally warmed up a little.

Drove it to work last Thursday and Friday. Feels good to be back behind the wheel of a 944. Looking forward to getting out my "tractors" (TR4 & TR6) in the next month or so. I am hoping we have a Spring this year. Usually it goes straight from Winter to Summer.
