Thanks Boxtaboy!

Turns out our maintenance supervisor ran into the thieves and made them leave the property when they couldn't explain why they were here. No one knew at that time that they had already burglarized all the garages (they had moved on to another area in the community). But he got their license plate number (Home Depot rental truck) and we have them on video entering and leaving through the main gates. Police are hopeful that they can track them down and prevent this from happening to someone else...

Yeah, really glad they took the indoor cover and not the outdoor cover I got from you! The indoor cover was a prototype I bought from a local club member who works for Kimberly Clark - it was a really nice 4 layer one but it wasn't waterproof (just dust proof). It was really thick and took up about twice the space of the external cover. Oh well...

Thanks!
It was a Christmas gift, so I don't know for sure where it came from or cost. It's a 993 part # and new.

Wheels; The wheels look very nice. Excellent job. I really like the red decals under the intake vent. Never seen that done quite like that before.

Gated Community Theft; I would be asking for a refund on those HOA fees. Any tweaker neighbor kids about?

Trying to troll me on a Dallas thing?

I'm a die hard Giants fan, so the Dallas/Green Bay game is immaterial to me.

Looking forward to a New England/Atlanta Super Bowl.

Just sayin'.............

986 custom backrest cover

Just finished this fiberglass piece(don't really know what to call it) to cover the boring carpet between the seats, I also made an armrest cover that snaps over the leather cover. Let me know what you think?

What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Outstanding craftsmanship, 914! As usual

Bought new tires just before Christmas so I went and had an alignment done. Seems like they did a pretty good job.





This is my last alignment from two years

ago
