The Early Days
So, the st?ory begins like this.  I was riding my bike one day at the age of 14.  A local car dealership had a beautiful gray 944S on the lot.  I immediatly fell in love with the car's classic shape.  But alas, this car and I were not meant to be.  Someone else had bought the S.  I started talking to my father about getting a Porsche.  He had always owned domestic vehicles and knew nothing about these cars.  He said in a laughing manner, "Sure, if you can find a Porsche for under $1000 you can get it."  A week later, much to his surprise I discovered a 944 behind the same dealership that had the S.  I won't lie, this car was discusting.  I didn't care back then, I was still eager to sit in the nasty interior.  I enjoyed sitting in it imagining owning the car while my brother refused to sit in it.  We bargained down the price a little with the owner of the dealership and the car became mine.  This is the day the car was purchased.  She didn't run and nothing on the car worked, I do mean nothing...August 2001.
I really wish I had taken better pictures the day I bought it to show how bad of a condition the car was in.  You wouldn't believe some of the stuff I found in it.  After we had taken it to my father's storage building, I spent the day cleaning it.  Over the next couple of weeks we examined the problems, to see what kind of condition it was in.  We discovered that the engine could freely turn over.  Originally, we (my father and I) had planned to buy another wrecked 944 and use this car as a parts car.  But since it turned over we decided to see how far we could get with this car alone.  This is where the next chapter of the story comes in.
