Hey gang,

Someone just posted about something that their wife did to their 928, and it got me thinking about the things my wife has done to mine, so it occured to me that this might make an interesting thread.

Here was my response to the other thread:

This is the second my wife did something to my 928 story that I have heard this week. Someone else described how their wife cracked the paint on their body colored wing. Ouch.

My wife, the first time she drove my '85 shortly after I got it, drove it about 10 miles with the emergency brake on! She noticed the red warning light on the dash and mentioned it to the kids, and they told her not to worry about it, that its on all the time, so she ignored it. WTF?!

Only when she got back in it did it occur to her to check the e-brake!

Then another time, my wifes friend sat her not tiny butt on the front fender of my '85. As politely as I could I asked her if she could not sit on my car since the fenders are aluminum and they dent easily. She thought I was kidding and continued to sit on it. I had to explain to her that I was not kidding.

She gave me the "you are a *****" look before removing her butt from my car.

I think most women just don't get it.

do pets count? I have 2 cats that for whatever reason. love to jump onto my 928, but not onto any of my other cars. Before I realized what was going on, their claws scratched the hell out of the paint on the hood, and other flat parts. Cost mucho $ to repair. Tried to get rid of the cats, but my wife freaked at that - so I built a fixed wall down the middle of the garage, added a door, and now have a seperate bay for the 928 (fortunately my garage is a 2 door type). Bad thing is I can't look out the window and admire the car anymore! Anyway, I told my wife that the cats don't get a second chance - next time they are gone!

 

Well, somebody put a hole in my drivers seat by sitting in it with a screwdriver in his rear pocket. I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out who this nimwit was.

 

Someone's wife keyed my car before I bought it, and my dad crashed into it twice while it was parked in the driveway.

 

Ed, maybe some honey to go along with that -- "No asses allowed on my fender, no matter how petite".

And return the "You are a *****" look with a "You have no f'in IDEA how much of a ***** I'm willing to be about this" look.

 

When I first got my car, my buddies would always tease me by saying that someone backed into my car or that my car was stolen or on fire. After a few years, I eventually developed a thick skin and dismissed these as harmless jokes between friends.

One night, I went to a club/bar with a few co-workers. Another co-worker came in and said that there was some guy jumping on my car....hahahha, again, another joke.

Drving home that night, I thought I saw a footprint on the windshield. I parked the car under some lights and found 2 dents on the roof along with footprints on the front fenders, windshield, wing, rear hatch / glass and hood. The sunroof was pushed in slightly (small adjustment).

I was pissed...really pissed. Unfortunately, this was before cameras were installed everywhere.

I've always fantasized about hearing some guy bragging to his friends that he was jumping on a porsche at this particular club. I think it would only be fair if my car had the opportunity to jump/roll on him.

Oh well, it's been 12 years now and I still haven't found him. I guess it's time for me to let it go.

Maybe the worst thing ... some fool replaced my interior, and in doing so, installed the rear roof interior light with the electrodes touching the body. As I and my daughter drove off out of a dark garage where I had tried to turn the light on above her, she soon complained of the "steam" which turned out to be smoke FALLING from a heavy-gauge wire on fire .... and as I reached over to pull the fuse, I realised that, that same moron had accidentally installed a 25 amp fuse as opposed to the 5 map fuse it needed. the fuse was melted to hell, but the wire continued to burn as I rushed out and disconnected the battery after evacuating my little occupant.

 

My PO loved , cherished , and kept the old very brown 1980 alive for nearly 20 years I thank him for that .

 

McVick has the absolute TOP story about his batshiat lady WASTING his shark. NOBODY can top it.

 

Hahahahahahahaha!! (get it?) Poor guy hasn't been the same since. He never posts anymore.

 

Speaking of batshoit...

I washed the OB on Sunday. Sunday afternoon the skies grew overcast, but I got him into the garage before rainfall.

Drove him to work on Monday. Through the course of the workday, he was bombed with a baseball-sized plop of bird****.

I'm going bird hunting, I've decided. Anyone want to join me? Called Cheney and he's not answering.

Peace.

The famous Jeff McVicar thread

It gets good at the end but you really should read the whole thing to understand the amount of work he put in and the sense of loss he must have felt. Poor fella.

 

Looks like Jeff took his webpage down, you can't see the pics. Probably a good thing!

 

Yeah, what the hell is up with that. I think a Pteradactyl crapped on my car last week, right after I had freshly washed and waxed.

Also, I had been wondering what happed to McVicar. I had followed his whole restoraton from the start. It was shocking to see the pictures of the carnage. I know he ended up buying a pretty cherry OB after his labor of love was destroyed. But, since then he has disappeared. I guess it is different when it is something you created vs something someone else has done. Just goes to show you. Keep Mr. Happy at home, don't introduce him to people other than your current GF, SO, etc... Hell hath no fury.... Especially from psychotic ones.

 

His site is still up. I guess he took down the 928 pictures. He probably doesn't fit in the 928 anymore anyway. Are you reading this Abby? Don't outgrow your car.
