Yea. I had never had a cat and I told my wife if we were having a cat its name would be Bubb, didn't care if it was male or female. He lived up to his name. She brought home a pregnant stray and 2 days later, 5 kittens in my closet. We ended up keeping 3 of them plus Momma. Bubba was one of them.

First time out of the shed since last fall, so the riding mower at the auto museum needed a jump start.

Brothers from a different Mother...or really same Mother to be accurate.

On a logical note: I can't believe you don't carry a "starter pack" in the 914. Wait I forgot there isn't enough room for that.😜

There actually is a jump pack on the ground next to the wall. Despite its robust size, it clearly had nowhere near the cranking amps needed to start to mower...but likely more than enough to start a 914 :lol:

We had a jump pack - it’s sitting there on the ground. It just wasn’t strong enough.

I had a young photographer take the 914 out this evening for some glamour shots.

No, it's a keeper! All the cars in the Hooptie Fleet will likely be sold someday in my estate sale.

So, who says you can’t stack a 911 on top off an SUV in a regular garage? Plenty of room!
