Washed it and waxed it in the garage. Man, the weather is miserable. I ordered a bottle of 303 protectant for the top.

That's pretty much what mine looks like. Same wheels too. Just that I changed the headlights and tails and side indicators to led ones. Man gotta get the chance to clean the car for pics. Weathers been bad recently.

I just did mine with the 303 wash and then applied the 303 sealer after it dried... the guy from 303 products said once a year possibly every two (as long as the water beads its still good).
The stuff goes on nice - apply 2-3 light coats as even as you can

Well, after a crazy day at work I was on my way home and needed to pick up some Mobile 1 full synthetic (5.99/qt) that was on sale at Autozone and found a killer leather fitted shift knob. On a whim, I buy it and bring it home and it fits like a glove...not bad for a $20.00 gamble.

I replaced my failed ign. switch that caused my battery to go flat. Total time was about 1 hr from reviewing Pedros how-to, thru completion. Finding my good headband LED worklight, just the right screwdrivers and reading glasses smoothed the process. I didn't mind the tight space so much but I am increasingly far-sighted so I needed spectacles of the exact focal length as well.

Made sure Boxxie was safe during Sandy, i.e. indoors.
Looks like we weathered the storm reasonably well, just half a tree in the front yard.
Lots of trees and power lines down.
Mmm, winds picking up a bit again.

I love those lights, I run around with my parking lights on for DRL's..lol
The turn signals are the coolest part of them, amber when blinking but when you disengage the turn signal the white LED fades back on as DRL..
Very bright at night.
They are not as sealed as the stock lights. I'm starting to see a little haze inside one of the lens. So the jury is out right now if I would recommend them to someone else and they get ticked off at me.
I do prefer them over the dull stock ones.
Overall I think it modernizes the looks. I had people ask what year and when I tell them, they don't believe the car is a 2001.

Always the hardest repair on any brand, I feel for you. My 944 had 1,500 in stereo and alarm added when I bought it. Long story short, the alarm box was draining the battery without any other indication that it was not performing correctly. Took a long time to trace it down, don't give up! Think of how you will feel when you finally succeed and keep on keepin on.

Saturday Trip
We started out with breakfast at Charlie's Diner In Cleveland and drove out to Hubbard Ohio with a stop at the Hartville fleamarket before going for lunch at the Emerald Diner. Mostly two lane roads and rain all the way. Unfortunately, The Emerald diner had burned down.
