We'll send the rear hatch seal to PCNA. |
SLAM!!! you're great!!!! LOL hahahahahaha

Go down to a local glass shop and take a piece of your broken rear glass seal. Amazingly it is quite similar to a factory GM seal. You can buy the stuff in bulk and install it yourself. Should set you back about 60 bucks Canadian.

Tim, you just insulted pretty much every member here. It is a hobby car, the money that goes in never comes out, just like the money spent on golf, skiing, gambling, etc etc. Why can't you understand?
I'm all for Slam's plan. You don't deserve the car anyway. |
ok,I know what you mean but I don't think I'm the only person who has a 924 as my main daily driver which I rely on. IF you can afford a daily driver and also a hobby car on the side then that's totally different.
If I keep on spending money on my 924 and can't get it to be a daily driver or if it fails then I'm screwed and I would have no car after spending all that money.
I can't afford to have 2 cars. If I didn't have to rely on my 924 then i wouldn't get stressed out when something big like this goes wrong.
also I think I got screwed over with my 924, mechanically the car runs fine right now I doubt it would need repairs for a while but since I purchase my car over 2 years ago it came with this exhaust leak problem which I couldn't have known when I bought it.

Tim, it doesn't matter what you think, any 30 year old Porsche is a hobby car (or any 30 year old car for that matter). Some folks may be skilled enough or financially stable enough to have a very reliable hobby car that they use daily as there sole transportation, but that is not you.
In your other thread you are talking about buying another car and coming back to your 924 in the summer. So which is it? Can you afford 2 cars or not?

I said I was going to try and fix the hatch and find the source or the CO leak, I can't insure and drive two cars.

Because!
Your CO readings are not that high, and yes it might well be CO but....
I can think of 15 other things that could cause your headaches (including Lizard's underwear theorem).
It's really easy to check that it's definately the car, and free (assuming you have a friend that will help).
Take it from someone that used to charge CA$2000 a day for his technical problem solving consultant services....
BTW. Did any of your short trip friends experience headaches? |
they've told me the exhaust smells and asked whys it's so noisy I've only really used my car to get to school.

Why not cancel insurance for the 924, get and insure a (reliable) daily driver, work on the 924 in your spare time?

^ that's what I meant. I'm saving for a newer car I don't want to buy a pos.
I'm not going to drive with my car anymore, I still have a headache left from yesterday.
60 ppm is too high, ideally it's suppose to be 0.

lol - its amazing how much tim doesn't listen - he completely brushed your insult/sarcasm off. If you had said that to me I would have at least bit back!
He just wants to talk about his issues with the car - each post is a trophy. I'd love to see his room - all the posts printed out and cut out, all framed and hanging from the wall for the admiring eye to feast on . . . . in years he'll bring his kids into the shrine - "ahh I remember this one, moone924 thought he could distract me, I just blew him off and kept talking about my dying Porsche. Son, one day when you learn to type, I'll make sure you'll have the same opportunities I did. I love you Tim Jr."
[edit] OMG, I just realized that I've been a member for just over a year longer than Tim but he has more than 3 times as many posts as I. I knew I should have bought that beat up POS Porsche I first looked at.

Tim..... how about a little more money, and get a full exhaust system. Make sure they check the exhaust manifold to make sure it's not a blown out gasket. Replace the gasket from manifold to the down pipes.........

Never judge a board member by how many posts they have, Tim is a prime example.
