Well, it's either put my 944S back together or buy something for the wife.

The idea of having the 944S running is getting outweighed by having another 928. Damn it - haven't driven the 944S since 2001.

It really is a sickness.

Came accross an S4 I would love to buy..

However since I just bought Constantine's track car, I'd have to live in the S4 if I brought it home because my wife would kick me out the house.

I'm still considering my options...

CALM DOWN.

First of all, you are experiencing SITM2007 withdrawal symptoms. You have a chronic desire to walk out to the garage and polish something right? You've worked on your womans's projects half-heartedly for the past few hours, while thinking about Western North Carolina? These are all symptoms of this. This great eastern get-together is really too-good to be true, and you just need to get over the fact that LIKE ME....you MISSED it!



Anyway....I enjoyed "Sharks in Normy's Garage", since I did a HUGE clean of all my interior leather, using two different products. Blue Coral cleaner, followed by Lexol glycol-based cleaner.

N!

Well Normy, I did finish the 24x16 deck off the back of the house on Saturday......Then drove the 928 to my parents house (30 miles) in a horrible storm. Didn't care, had to drive the car!!!

I like that car. It has been for sale for a while. I would pick it over a 944s anytime. What are you waiting for?

I already have the 944S. Upgraded to turbo brakes, coil over suspension, new head, cams......Ugh then it threw up a rod bearing in 2001.

I have everything in the garage to put the car together, just need to rebuild the donor short block on the stand.....damn it.

1. You don't have water restrictions in Green Bay, WI....

2. You probably don't have the Muscovy ducks I have behind my house. We have a nest of them, and we also have them **begging** at our 18 foot sliding doors most morning.

-This duck is our pet. When I wake up in the morning, I'm something to avoid until I've had coffee; but Olivier is right there ready to go.

The various ducks are all our friends. It is difficult to cull then or pull out the shotgun.....

T!

I haven't even seen my 79 since last September.

I made a promise to myself I would keep the 79 locked away until the 944S is running.....I never said anything about buying another one
