out of storage
09 April 2011...first drive of the year since I put it away 16 Nov 2010
With a little bit of work..
I cleared the remaining snow that turned to ice off
of my driveway to get the boxster out of the garage.
Grabbed the battery that I've been trickle charging, installed it.
Put the headlights back in (cleaned them and updated the fog
lights to HID during the winter)
grabbed the stereo faceplate, sunglasses, new cup holder,
cell phone charger, manual, tire gauge, glass cleaner & detailing rags
Put it in the car. Oh yah insurance and registration. (my checklist)
Turn the key...started first crank...why wouldn't it?
Go for a drive around the block...make sure everything is alright
Fluid levels / tire pressure. Top up with fresh Premium fuel
Then off for a drive...avoiding potholes, sand, small rocks,
puddles, plugged manhole covers & stupid drivers
that want to drive beside and splash your clean car....
cause everyone else's vehicles are brown from road spray.
5 months is a long time to wait...
but the pain we endure up here in Canada
One more Boxster out of storage
One more happy Porsche owner enjoying the car
that was meant to be driven
Cheers
Chris
