"WHAT THE HELL DO PORSCHES AND DRILLING HAVE TO DO WITH EACH OTHER?", YOU MAY BE ASKING YOURSELF. IN A WORD...NOTHING. OTHER THAN THAT'S HOW I PAID FOR IT AND BUY THE PARTS, I DRIVE MY 944 TO WORK EVERY DAY. WHILE I HAVE HAD TO DO NUMEROUS REPAIRS ON HER, SHE'S NEVER FAILED TO START AND GET ME TO WORK ON TIME.

THIS WAS TAKEN ON MT.NEBO, NEAR
DARDENELLE, ARKANSAS |
This is the first time that the reality of "underground utilities" hit home. I thought maybe there were folks smuggling little volts to the promised land, But they really mean there are things under the ground for you to hit! I have seen a gasline get hit, and I've hit a sewerline 17' down in the middle of L.A., and the city people not have any record of it! | |

THIS IS THE CAR THAT GOT ME HOOKED ON PORSCHE AND THE WATERCOOLED
STEPCHILDREN THAT ARE THE 944. SHE'S A 1984 N/A 944 AND SHE CAN'T STAND RICE. |
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF WORKING ON PORSCHES, WHICH IS WHY A PORSCHE MECHANIC CAN NAME IT'S OWN PRICE. I ADMIT, I WAS VERY AFRAID OF TRYING TO FIX MY 944 WHEN SOMETHING CAME UP, BUT IT ONLY TOOK ONE TRIP TO A GARAGE TO GET ME TO BUY A MANUAL AND START FIXING THINGS MYSELF. SOMETHING ABOUT A $2000 REPAIR BILL TO BRING OUT THE D.I.Y. IN A PERSON. I WAS ASTONISHED TO FIND OUT THAT MOST OPERATIONS ON MY P-CAR WERE VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD AND SIMPLE (IF OVER-ENGINEERED A BIT). NOW I'D RATHER TINKER ON MY UBERWAGON THAN EVEN LOOK AT THE FORD TAURUS WAGON SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. (STUPID FORD:YOU HAVE TO DRAIN THE A/C BEFORE YOU CAN CHANGE THE HEATER CORE!!!!) |

Now this is perfect balance. This is why I can out manuver practically any car on the road This is why my wife begs me to pull over sometimes just so she can not have a coronary |
