I had someone tell me I had a nice Dodge daytona. I just about smacked em.

 

Thanks Alex! You are completely correct about the handling. I feel the car is actually more tossable now with the LS2. The weight is the same, and I've never had more appreciation for the 944 chassis, than knowing how well it blends with the V8 Muscle. These cars are very special and deserve to be improved and restored.

 

no, S2.

 

/me drools furiously

 

I've always gotten *gulp*....RX-7. (Big surprise..) When I was rebuilding the motor a neighbour walked by and....
"Nice RX-7...I remember these. What year?"
""
..

 

if... you put a 951 front on your na then sold it but keep posting on this board.

 

...and i thought i was the only one that did this...

 

When you have cruise control but have never thought of using it.
When you have ABS and seem to always be activating it.

 

when you have a cruise control stalk but removed CC years ago because it didnt work

when ABS didnt exist when your car was manufactured, and airbags were for planes...

 

You might own a 944 if...
-your car blows hot air into the cabin 24/7.
-you have a floor full of water after the last rain.
-you are in the middle of repairs and realize the PO didn't feel like reinstalling half the hardware ($75 worth of hardware later and its back together-although I guess this could be any 20+ year old car).
-you have everyone race you off the line, even soccer moms in minivans.
-you freak out if anyone even so much as shuts the door a little hard.
-you have to get creative when you have a drink in your car.
-people don't know your name, just simply that you have a Porsche.

Hahaha! Great thread.

You might own a 944 if the statement, "With the cost in money and time it will take to replace the water pump, it makes more sense to swap the engine rather than fix it" is completely logical.

 

You own a 944 if you think,that its absolutely normal to pay 260 dollars for scripted door handles.

if your left toes hurt from "fixing" your running lights.

Procedure:

wait until dusk to realize your runninglights arent on although your headlights are

pull up behind a shiney tanker truck at a stoplight so you can see your front end in the reflection

locate fuse box

kick it randomly until you achieve the desired results

 

You don't stop to go in and eat because your car might not start again to get you home.

 

If no one understands why you have two of the "same" car.
If no matter what you do, you still can't get enough of the "same" car.
If your ownership of a Porsche has been questioned on a daily basis, by a different person each time.
If friends will text you when they see you driving.
If friends will send you pictures of every other 944 they see.
If you've been asked how much it cost, by a person expecting to hear $50,000.
If you've been yelled at for going the posted speed, because your car looks like it's going really fast.
If you gave up on trying to tell people how to properly say Porsche shortly after buying your car.
If you look forward to the drive to your destination more than actually reaching your destination.
