Man, that sucks. Hopefully you're ok and the damage is minor.
Unfortunately, insurance companies love to write off 944's -.- so I hope that doesn't happen to you

- ordered a couple of Porsche T-shirts from blipshift for profiling the brand

- ordered out a new replacement fob for the central locking and alarm

- read a few more posts on 944 online, on Rennlist , and sent an email to a track buddy and 944 owner

- went to the garage, stared at the beauty of Porsche , asleep and waiting for spring - the time to romp

Pulled the intake manifold, all the electrics and the mass of vacuum lines. Now I'm down to a long block + head and just need to get to work on that -.-

after they have "re-Focused"
they will never know quality comes in taking highspeed cornering ......
F.W.O.


flat wide open
it translates into slow off the line, but
