While I don't expect doug to eat his own ********, I will make sure the next time we're out to have him order a plate of rocky mountain oysters and eat the entire plate himself.... In the name of Karl.

Doug, I love you buddy, but you shot yourself in the foot on this one lol

Congrats Karl, let's gets some pics after picking up the car.

Rocky Mountain oysters? That actually sounds quite good..

There will be SOO many pictures! They won't even begin to show my genuine excitement for the moment I've waited a year for.

Default HERE SHE IS!! :D

Sorry it took me so long to upload pics, I can't upload to the Rennlist app for some reason, but behold!

After 2 threads, 58 pages, and almost a year.
My first 944, My first Porsche!













She's home! Thank you to everyone that's been with me and helped me this past year, you have no idea how much I appreciate everything you've all done to help me out.

HOLY ****ING **** I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THE DAY.


This is an epic moment in rennlist history....is Karl still a padawan?

On a serious note karl, congratulations, buying your first (of many) porsches is a big moment. I think i speak for everyone when i say im happy to have witnessed it. She looks like a real beautu. Take care of it, and invest in learning how to drive it. Even though it only has 150 hp, trust me when i say that car is mucu more capable than you are as a driver.

Congratulations Karl!

I did not partake in your whole story, only saw some snippets...glad you turned out to be a real human and got a real car!

Feel free to PM me with questions if you run into issues.

Allan (OD) if "he-who-shall-not-be-named" hasn't stolen your last ball are you gonna give it to Karl?? LMFAO!

Congrats man, glad you got yourself a decent looking car....now don't get distracted by shiny things like polished valve covers and intake manifolds and pretty wheels, but get your good looking car in tip-top mechanical shape! That way you have a sweet looking ride that won't let you down

Have fun man, drive safe,
Ethan

Am I still a padawan? I should think so, I've got so much to see, so much to do, and so much to learn; this is only the start of a whole new life for me!

Thanks so much Doug, you've helped so much over the past year, even more than some others, and you stuck around even when I was being stupid. That means a lot to me. Thanks for never giving up hope!

Will do sir!

There are some things I'll need to address down the road, the cam tower gasket oil leak being #1, but she runs smooth and fine and is a real joy to drive compared to my modern Focus ST. It's good to finally have that connection to the road I felt when driving my dad's '74, and I now I can do that anytime!

I've also got some goodies from the PO that he left me in the trunk that I'll show you all in a second.
