"Matured," daily driving, air cooled, 911's hit their sweet spot during spring time. The ac system in these cars suck and the heat is 50% breathable air and 50% carbon monoxide mixed with oil vapors. They are truly awesome cars, but not for everyone. With the windows down though, they're perfect for anybody.
Right now in Atlanta is window down driving weather. And won't be for long...
On the eve of the great 330 strip-a-thon, my mother in laws car got stolen (94 Accord, not too surprising), which provides another karma strike against tearing apart a perfectly functioning, really nice car. Her car also had our second kid seat base in it. I will spare you the complicated and obfuscated logistics that Jim manages to mastermind at the 11th hour in order to get a third non running race car (and in the case of what's left of the 330, I use that term even more liberally) into my garage. The short version is that my 911 goes to his garage (his stupid SE30 doesn't have an ECU to run currently), my wife takes the pick up truck to work every day and my mother in law uses a 1 series vert temporarily. Meanwhile... Jim takes my 911 to work or dinner or his daily trips to the pet store or wherever when he feels like it to pimp as his own and, somehow, someway....THERE'S AN EMPTY GARAGE SPOT WHERE MY 911 SHOULD BE.
I can't believe this. I'm so pissed off that I think about how I can drop off his non running SE30 paperweight at his driveway and take back my 911. But sparing you the even more complicated logistics (trailer, tow vehicle and kid seat swap nonsense + number of trips), without going through two days of enourmous wasted effort, all while bringing my daughter with me through the entire boondoggle, it's rendered impossible. Jim 1, Craig 0. Noted.
Update: The AV club down at the local middle school that Jim managed to entice into editing our timelapse video for free, is working feverishly and should have them ready by weeks end.
