haha what a titel!! anyways i think my 924 is inlove with me , for some reason it has never broken down on me while i was driving(bought it early this year) The only close call i had was when the solonoid went and i had 2 push start it!!!

Its also noob friendly , i can basicly drop the clutch in 1st gear and the car wont stall even if my foot isnt even near the acceleration pedal!!!

The other close call was when i drove a 4 hour trip ( to perth and back home again) and just when i stoped at home my back fuel hose started leaking heaps

luck or love?

Min certainly got jealous when I brought home the 928. It's been a pain in the ass ever since. Seriously some weird stuff. I've owned her for over a year already with only one major problem, but then I bring a 928 home to sit next to her and she needs to ignition wires, spark plugs, and a whole jumble of other needs.

I still pay attention to her, she's just so jealous now!!

She just needs to be taken out for a proper flogging, that's all.

Been in the garage (heated) since mid November. The battery is float charging and I walk past everyday and think of spring.

My 924S is my daily driver, it loves snow.....

But it's parked for all of January since it has collector plates and it is illegal to drive a car with such plates in January.

Spike and the '81 are in the machine shed in Wisconsin, keeping each other company till I get back from NM. The Euro car down here is waiting for it's turn. I brush the snow off periodically to let it know it's not totally abandoned! Next year, one of the 931s is making the trip south, too many twisties down here to ignore.
