So I’m driving down the road and I see a Ferrari. I jump close to him, have a look, and jump back into the left lane. He proceeds to blast by me with a posy of BMWs, Acuras, and Hondas biting at his tail. I refrain from joining the group and continue on home. As I merge onto 435 the car beings to shake, shutter, and loose power. I barely get home. Every time I have to idle the car cuts off. When I do finally make it home, Stephen and I have a back and forth diagnosis conversation. “…check the MAF…” I do. Everything appears to be in order. I even unplug the O2 sensor, which makes no difference. I’m told to have her towed in, which I do. Turns out it was simply an unplugged MAF after-all. Anyway, K is still in the hospital and I’m at a loss for time and apparently appropriate diagnosis… Thanks Stephen, she drives like a monster from hell.

BTW, I was racing a BMW on Todd George when we got blocked by a white Minivan (thank goodness) when a cop pops up on the left side-road… funny, because that would have sucked; even with my visitor pass still stuck to my check from KUMED.

I’ve owned Porsche’s for years. Granted, my first was a 912 (not a speed demon by any means) and my second was a stock 911 C4 (pretty fast mind you) with oil and compression issues. When we got the CLK430 I was blown away by the V8 (still am). The Jetta was fun, but the stock 4. The Escape was actually rather quick with the V6. Aside from that I’ve driven Boxters, Vets, Mustangs, Chargers, Vipers, BWM’s… no real super cars to speak of, but fun and fast. My new 964 (and I do mean NEW) is simply awesome. responsive, fast, quick, powerful, agile, mean, controlled… just a blast to drive now. Can’t wait for the DYNO.

Still at the hospital. All is good.

Still on the fence as to listing her for real, especially since all the work that has gone into her has paid off in sheer joy every time I get in and start her up.
