Default almost lost the S2 and possibly the house

Pulled the lawn tractor in the garage today and in about 15 seconds I smelled burning. I pulled close to the 944 but I did not think that close; however, the muffler of the tractor touched the car cover and burned a hole straight through.

I need to do that to my garage... I really really could use a new one. And my 70 year old exposed wood would go up like a tinderbox.

Nice car...don't burn it...I just saw one like this down the street from my house. The seller wants 9800 USD with 168,000 miles, looks very clean...but that is a little high. I think you have the white/navy option correct ?

No damage to the car. I crabbed the car cover and yelled at the wife to move the tractor. Only damage are 3 holes in the cover. 1 the size of a softball and 2 the size of golf *****. I have too much stuff in my garage, besides the 3 cars I have a fridge, 4 bikes, lawn tractor, tractor cart, 2 kids electric ride on toys, an on and on and on. The good news is I think the wife is now on board with me getting some new shelving and cabinents to clear up some of the clutter.

My cab is white and blue with 80K on the odo. I hope the guy down road from you gets his $9,800 for his with 170K because I may be putting mine on the market and want about $12K.
