I took the 928 for a drive today after several days of "Lets make it pretty" and my list just got longer by one, the cruise starting giving problems.

Yea, I know, do a search, been there to make it work after the restoration on the car, it is gonna be the solder joints this time I bet.

On the plus side, only two things have broken in the last 2,500 miles.

It has had worse weeks.

Not looking for help just yet, this has been covered before.
just setting a cruse control that has been flawless for the last six months that goes "lets go faster" was a negative on a good day.

PS, we got a new dog, if anybody would like to see this monster here is a link.
We have had more than a few dogs over 200LBS, this guy is going to be BIG, real BIG.

He is still a puppy and only 130 right now, but my guess is he will be over 200 when he is grown, he is very big boned.

I feel your pain, and that is one big dog.

 

And he is all full of puppy vigor.

 

That is one big dog. Good friends have Mastiffs. We care for them when they travel. They have two, a one year old puppy and a ten year old not long for this world old girl. She weighs 220lbs (100kg).

Is Timber a specific breed. He is a very good looking dog. Sorry to hear about the cruise control, congrats on the new family member.

 

Just to clarify, I feel the pain of a big puppy. And the car too

 

Hope he is past the teething stage! So glad to see that he will be in a loving home. I to am a dog lover. I have a red nose pit sharpay (sp) She was breed by two fighting dogs in the illegal dog fighting here in south st pete. Bella was the runt and not big enough to fight. I bought her in a parking lot for 20 bucks. She is the sweetest and the smartest dog I have owned and I have owned a lot. Awesome with my two little ones, takes all of their abuse and never does a thing!

Here she is taking a nap, always uses a pillow!

Timber is a Malamute, he got my number quicker than any dog we have ever had.
He is the first one we adopted for us to keep, just a smart old guy.
He is our candy dog, loves those awful candy Orange slices.

 

That looks like a very happy dog, pits are great dogs.

 

She is! When my oldest daughter was 2 she stuck her middle finger in Bella's eye. Bella's eye was almost popping out to the side and she was just sitting on the couch SHAKING! Didn't move, growl nothing!

Here is one more with Willow when she was a baby!

It is a wonderful thing the way they bond with children.
Lord help any body that tries to hurt that child when she is there.

 

Yep, that's why they're called "Nanny Dogs" in England. Too bad so many people have ruined their reputation.

 

Yea, he about knocked me down yesterday, we are going to work on not jumping.

As far as the car, I keep telling myself that one day it is going to be in good enough shape I can get in it and drive it across the country with zero problems.

It is a old car that was neglected for years, so these problems are not unexpected, but I can see in my mind what it is going to look like and be like when I am done.

 

And it is the people that are the problem.

 

Good dog's bad owners!

I know what you mean in regards to your car. There are a lot of things that don't work on my car that I haven't even looked into fixing yet. It is all electrical, interior lights,fog lights, rear windshield wiper,and a/c. The list goes on.

I keep thinking of performance mods but I should really put the money into making her whole. It isn't like she is a slow poke, the 4.5L with headers has a nice power band. I would just like another 100hp or so!

Mine is going in for paint. I was thinking go fast goodies but I just might put a xpipe on her with a new muffler, buy a new alt and electric fan and replace the a/c and add the euro cams. That will wipe out my fund for now. It is just so tempting to add nitrous NOW or put a cheap turbo setup on it and see how she runs. I am bi polar when it comes to decisions regarding this car. LOL

I was going to do the interior first, now it looks like it will come last.

I just can not stand having things not work, drives me nuts.
