944 on the road


I picked up the 944 today. It's so weird to drive a car after you haven't for over a week. It doesn't feel the same. The repairs cost $560 after tax for: a new master cylider (brake and clutch) and slave cylider (clutch), labor.

They also listed a whole bunch of other things that are wrong with the car, including: struts, wheel bearing in need of adjustment, and power steering fluid hose leak, but the most expensive and urgent is the oil leak at the front of the engine, apparently, it is leaking onto the timing belt (NOT good). To do the timing belt, and seals in the front of the engine, it's like $1200. also, he thought the clunking was the clutch pad or the transmission(another big chunk of $$ to fix).

I will need to evaluate what to do over the next few months car-wise. I don't think I'll be making it to Savnnah this year.
