One last cruise in his favorite car.

Tough day yesterday.... We lost Hofmeister. He declined pretty quickly but my wife and I were able to get him into the vet and hug him up as he went. RIP Hofdog, you were the best. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr

I havent been up to much lately. Last week I drove the 944 to work and on the way home, it ran a little hot for my liking. I am sure the 110 degree ambient temp was the cause, and it dropped when I cut the AC off, but I didnt like it. I have an aluminum radiator coming in this week. Since...

Happy Bday to the 8/18 crew....

Got the 944 out and about this weekend and fixing the ride height really helped the over all look. It could go lower but to be honest, I dont think it needs to. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr As of now, its fairly...

If I pull the torsion bars out and turn them, I can get up to another 2" of drop but I think this will be fine. I think it may even settle another 1/4 or so once I drive it. I am happy with it and if I go lower I will probably swap in a newer aluminum trailing arm and mod it for coil overs but...

I wasnt anywhere near the car.... they ran when I walked up... hahah. I stopped by the shop on the way home last night and worked on the rear ride height of the 944. I got it down about 3/4- 1 inch and I am very happy with how it looks now. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Hopefully the...

Alright, Im back but not a lot of updates. Since my last post my wife and I went on a long weekend to Nashville for Alan Jackson's final concert. It was a blast. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr The next week we took the kiddos to the beach. The week after that, I went to Oshkosh Wi for...

I got nothing done this weekend. My dad and I went to down to Dinan in Alabama for cars and coffee. While everyone was on the tour, I snuck my car over to the entrance and snapped a pic. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr The 944 is with my dad for the next few weeks so he can work though a...

For sure... I got home from work the other day and mentioned to my wife that the car brought back a ton of memories. I started telling her a story..... remembered how it ended.... and just stopped talking.... You know, old girlfriend stuff...

Quick update... I finished the detail on the 944 late last week. Its not perfect but it looks pretty good. Saturday the whole family was still out of town so I got up early and took it cars and coffee and people seemed to love it. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr My dad met me in the e24...

I finished off the polishing over the weekend, I am fighting a little head cold so I am moving slow. Since I am done with buffers, I reattached the 944 badge. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr I thought I was going to have to replace this sticker on the rear...

Back at it last night. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr I finished up the compounding stage and went after some rough spots. I could probably wet sand and make it look better but I am okay getting it 90% there and just driving the hell out of it. They dont hand out awards at cars and...

This was just a DA, microfiber pad and Meguiars 105 compound. I havent polished it yet but Ill use Sonex Perfect Finish and a yellow foam pad.

You're telling me..... They are growing way too fast. I got a little time in the garage to work on the 944 after the kiddos went to bed. I started by taping up the trim. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Some idiot(17 year old me probably) didn't have the right grommets for the hood emblem...
