got the Porsche back...

....from the body shop yesterday. Already have been driving it
exclusively since I got the keys again. Man, I forgot how nice it was
to drive a real car... sorry American car fans, my new Chevy is nothing
on a 18 year old beater 944. Would take the 944 every time, unless
there's snow on the ground. I love my car. (and I was actually
considering selling it - well now that the quarter panel I didn't like
was replaced thanks to an idiot hit and runner, I don't think that's
happening, unless I get a good line on a 944 Turbo...)

One thing I forgot though was how pathetic the dash illumination is on
a 944. Already wishing for a Flamingeye dash light kit, if I could get
my hands on one... it is not good to be driving around at night
squinting and staring to try to read the gauges. Also need to find out
why I have a nasty vibration right about 80 MPH... I swear one of the
balance shaft belts is off, despite two shops having told me they're
right...

My dash lights burned out years ago. Just keep a cheapie flashlight on
the seat.

Holy ****.

And you ( try to ) lecture ppl about safety ?

I guess you're too cheap to replace the bulbs ? The idea of illuminated
controls is that you don't have to take your hands off the wheel ( to pick up
the falslight ) to read them at night btw.

What do you do ? Drive around holding the flashlight in your mouth ?

Turn yourself in to the police immediately you disgusting criminal dangerous
driver.

IMNSHO, Colorado desperately needs to enact a motor vehicle safety
inspection program. The sooner, the better.

I am very much in agreement with this poast.

Why? NY has an inspection program. Dash lights is not an item they check.
Judy the hypocrite would still continue to drive 55 in the left lane in her
unsafe vehicle.

I would hope that the bald tires alone (to say nothing of tires treaded
with sandpaper) would be enough to fail judy's vehicle. Then there is
the issue of the emergency brake... ;-)

Yeah, but then Aunt Judy would be jumping up and down because it
wouldn't be able to drive to the bath houses. And for sure, with a
micro-dick like Aunt Judy brags about, none of it's buddies will give
it a lift; not worth the effort.

Doesn't surprise me. Just supports the fact that you're the biggest
hypocrite around. Lecture about safety, and you drive a piece of ****
car with bald tires, and no dash lights.

Hell, you're probably driving 20 over the limit, but you're just too
stupid to know it since you can't read your gauges!

Holy ****, you ****ing killer! Its amazing that your car even runs with
the way that you maintain it. BTW, I hope some cop sees you doing that
and pulls you over, takes your license and shoves it up your ass and
pulls it out your mouth, you blood guzzling maniac!

No wonder the retard got pulled for doing 41 in a 25; the SFB couldn't
tell how fast it was going.

Not that, in Xeton's case, seeing the dashboard is important. It's
posts already indicate it can't tell the difference between "6" & "60",
and has major comprehension issues.
