Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

Guys: a Buick Roadmaster wagon has come into my life and it's very exciting.

A gal that skates derby with my girlfriend has a real love for those things and when her fiancee's dad heard about it, he gave her one. She only just got it but she doesn't know anyone else who even likes cars and she wants it to run forever. It's already completed a 150 mile journey home so it runs and drives fine, so it'll likely be little things here and there. First thing: fix the power steering.

You know you have to do a manual conversion right?

Man, asked a guy when his 944's timing belt was last changed... 5,000 miles ago, in the year 2005.

A twelve year old timing belt.. he was pissed when I told him I didn't think it'd make it the hundred miles home unless it was on a flatbed.

944s have an interval of like, 30,000 or every two years, with the tension checked halfway between.

edit: lmao "car is better than you deserve" when I asked how old the tires were.

He's a dealer (as evidenced by the Ohio Dealer plates on the car) advertising in the "by Owner" section. That's the type of scamming flipper that I avoid at all costs.

Yes, I've flipped cars, but I've done it fully legit -- title transferred, taxes paid, etc. loving around with the "but I own the car bullshit is infuriating.

One thing Bosch does right is silent dishwashers.

My parents have had one for quite awhile.. it's needed $$$ repairs several times, but you can't hear it running even if you're standing in front of it. I've opened the drat thing so many times not realizing it was running. Does a drat good job on dishes, but like rdb mentioned, it has a really long cycle.

The cost of ownership has been pretty high on it compared to your typical GE, though.

I'm in Denver for the weekend with my girlfriend and it's taking a little to get used to the slower speed limits. Also, our rental car has a horrible knocking sound when turning on the a/c. It goes away after a few seconds, though. Actuator?

Anyone got any fun suggestions of things to do or places to check out while we're in Denver? Places to eat?

It was this one. I've been inquiring about a few 944s around. The black one in Ohio sounded pretty legit, talking to the guy. But it's too far and I don't feel like fixing the odometer and timing belt and it's four hours away and I'm not desperate or anything.

Sounds like it hasn't been driven much in the past decade and now he wants to sell it. HE KNOWS WHAT HE HAS!

I have owned pretty much every major brand of dishwasher and I will never, ever, own anything but Bosch from now on. They clean fantastically well and quietly. The complaints people have with Bosch is generally related to drying issues which is usually tied to people taking their dishes out immediately at end of cycle and they are still damp or not using rinse aid. Also finish detrgent is the best with them.

Surprise! You have a Bosch after all. Kenmore dishwashers are actually made by Bosch and are basically identical to Bosch branded units other than maybe a very slight cycle change and the kenmore label.

This morning, 7 loving 30 on a Saturday he calls her.... "Hey there's ANOTHER fawn laying by the house this morning".

That was the same story on the 928 when I picked it up. Less than 2k on the belt but it was done in 2000. Was able to knock $1500 off the asking price for that. then I went on to drive it ~15k miles for three more years Yay for non-interference engines

Nice :hfive: I'd been thinking about popping the question then she brought it up and we went ring shopping together. We told everyone a few days later.

We had played with the idea of eloping kind of from the start but she started all the wedding planning stuff so I figured that idea was out the window. Yesterday we had lunch at and toured the venue she wants, great place. But during lunch I asked if eloping was not an option and apparently it is. We talked to all the parents yesterday and other than her Dad they're all cool with it. We'll be thinking it over more this weekend but we may just getting parents and a friend or two at the courthouse then a two week European tour.

It doesn't look too bad. The kit of special tools looks to be $300 online for everything. Two specialist shops in the area quoted me $1600 for everything including the water pump though, so it's something I gotta consider. That's a lot of money.

I've been over the guides on PelicanParts.com and it definitely seems like something I could tackle on a car I'm not driving every day. Worst case, have it towed a couple of miles to the specialist place. Done it before :v:
