Turns out my hunch was right from the start, and it was the speed and reference sensors the whole time. I had the trans fluid changed and belts retensioned, but I’ll get the results of the inspection tomorrow. In the meantime, who wants to actually take a couple guesses at the reason for my car’s spontaneous movement over the past 19 years.(I even made a terrible gif for it!)

1. Deeeetroit.

2. It was afraid to wander too far from the area.

3. The Hollanders on the other side of the state were afraid to drive that far.

It stayed in one family for years.

Hollanders?

That is plausible. As would somewhat explain the constant movement and maybe even keep true to the “three-owner car” story that I had known since I bought the car.

I forgot. You are an east sider. I grew up on the west side of the state. Much of the people who reside there are of Dutch descent. They are known for being very conservative with their money and religious views. There is a saying there that goes “If you ain’t Dutch, you ain’t much”. If you want to succeed in business there, it helps if your last name starts with Van or De.

I don’t think I’ve seen an overhead-3/4 view of a 944. I really like it (especially in white)

I wish my car was white sometimes....I have yet to see a white 944 or 924 in person. Always red, black, or silver/gray. It’d be cool to have a white/white 944!

Now that you mention it, HELLO new wallpaper!!

I’ve seen red, black, silver, white, and yellow in person, white is definitely my favorite.

Good call on the wallpaper!

An example at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix a month or so ago.

Not so keen on the black wheels, but that white is gorgeous. Call me crazy, but I’d love to see matte white on these cars!

I am thankful there is no inspection process in Californka. Sorry. But a 944 is worth it. So sexy.

Oh no, I mean the shop is inspecting the car for anything I might want to think about repairing or replacing once it’s back together. We don’t have mandatory periodic inspections in Michigan either, thank God! :)
