Look at Blue's pic, they look pretty rectangular there.The secret is to look for the round side reflectors. The ones they found in a parts bin at their local bike shop.
So everyone hates the 944 and 924, but what about the 928 or the 968?

I'm an idiot, I was thinking side mirrorsLooks pretty round to me...
Why in god's name would you buy a comprehensive policy on this car? Liability only, toolbag.Or more likely because it is such a POS, it has no value, and therefore if you even try to submit a claim for a door ding, they will declare it a total loss and give you your $750 settlement - your $500 deductible and tell you to have a nice day.
But then again, what do I know
2. And none of them are in the front yard...yet. They're both real cars, even!How many cars & or rolling chassis do you have?
Well, mirrors *do* reflect, so I guess we're both right!I'm an idiot, I was thinking side mirrors
928's also sucked. The easy way to tell the difference between the 924 to the 944 is the fenders are flared on the 944. They both suck though.The secret is to look for the round side reflectors. The ones they found in a parts bin at their local bike shop.

I dig on the new Denali's Why don't your trade in all your POS cars and buy a late 70's-80's 911. Time to be a man little boy.
stfu noob.
A glorified VW Beetle with poor handling characteristics?I dig on the new Denali's Why don't your trade in all you POS cars and buy a late 70's-80's 911. Be a man little boy.
Too funny.2. And none of them are in the front yard...yet. They're both real cars, even!
911 aren't easy cars to drive, but when you know what your doing they are a blast.A glorified VW Beetle with poor handling characteristics?
I kid, I kid...but it really is the truth.
cool car. i actually approve. i'm not sure if 924s can be brought to this spec, but there's a spec racing series for 944s (like miatas):It's a 924S. 944 engine in a 924 chassis. Lighter, nimbler, etc.
According to Wikipedia...cool car. i actually approve. i'm not sure if 924s can be brought to this spec, but there's a spec racing series for 944s (like miatas):

Edit: Just read through the 944spec site - 924S is good! And there's a race the Saturday after Interbike...this tempts me. Spec racing is hot sh!t. Though I likely won't do it...I should do a few DE classes (and install an EMS) before even THINKING about racing on a track with other cars. I think I'm gonna go watch, though.Wikipedia said:The 924S is also eligible to race in the 944-Spec racing class.
If I were searching for approval on Retardmonkey, I'd buy a boring ass Subaru wagon with no soul.why is everyone always hating on Blue and his cars???
Maybe they don't get the fact that he might enjoy working on them.why is everyone always hating on Blue and his cars???
exactly what I was thinking...many people here are ripping his choice of ride up....but I wonder how many actually know anything about their own cars and how to fix them...DMaybe they don't get the fact that he might enjoy working on them.
And like bikes, they sometimes break.
Half the people here probably have cars still under warranty. That being said, 90% of the people here know absolutely nothing when it comes down to auto repair aside from oil changes and flat repair, and when their cars have issues they just throw money at the problem in the form of a mechanic. It took one bad experience with a shop on my Jetta to decide that I should just learn to work on my own car and fvck 'em all. Plus, it's a helluva lot more fun. I like solving problems, and old German cars like to present a lot of those.exactly what I was thinking...many people here are ripping his choice of ride up....but I wonder how many actually know anything about their own cars and how to fix them...D
Don't even get me started. To me, it's not what you bought, it's what you built.exactly what I was thinking...many people here are ripping his choice of ride up....but I wonder how many actually know anything about their own cars and how to fix them...D
This is exactly my situation now. I still love to work on cars, but when I actually do have free time I'd rather ride my bike.I used to love to work on cars & trucks but nowadays I'd rather take it into the dealership and have it fixed when needed. Me, I just don't have an ounce of spare time. If & when I do have a few seconds to myself, I'd rather be doing something else besides working on a car. A project car is a different story, but a daily driver.......F that. I come from the end of the Muscle car era and did 95% of my own repairs with the exception of transmissions, I had a good friend that rebuilt those. Oh, I'd take an older American car over any older foreign car.
I'm about halfway through pulling the VR out of the Mk3 right now to do some head work and the clutch. God, I hate the previous owners of this car...they had it resprayed after a dumpster rolled into it. Whoever resprayed it was a fvcking moron...half the radiator and anything near the front bumper is red! It's like they didn't mask anything. Anyway, after working with a 2 ton shop crane in a cramped 1 car garage, I had an entrepreneurial idea...
Buy something like a 4 bay shop. Put 4 car lifts in, and have a few other items of heavy equipment, cranes, compressors, etc. Buy insurance. Then, rent out each bay by the day. Maybe hire a guy to oversee people lifting their cars and such. Bring your own tools, parts, and labor. I think something of that nature could be successful in an urban area where many people don't have adequate facilities out their back door...
Yeah, I think that would be the biggest issue especially considering the heavy equipment involved.sounds like a good idea at a glance.
although you might want to talk to an attorney about liabilities and stuff.
Excellent idea. I love working on my own car but I live in the city and have to borrow work space. Usually the price for borrowing that workspace exceeds the value I attain from doing my own work. If I could tie it in with good advice and a hand here and there I would gladly pay for bay.....Buy something like a 4 bay shop.
