Sorry to hear about the tire problems. For winter driving fun there is nothing better than a rear wheel drive car that can hang the tail out at will!

Since it is parked for the winter I am spending few minutes each night reading the manual (yes, RTFM!). Today I had a few things to do outside, went into the garage and popped the door open, sat down and reviewed what I had read. And admired the view. got out and admired the view. Only 3-4 more months of admiring it before getting to the fun stuff.

I added sound deadening material to both doors. Fired up the Bose premium system. Still sounds awful. New head unit and amp next.

I *was* going to change tranny fluid, brake and clutch fluid and some spark plug tube O-rings....but I am a wuss and it's to damn cold!!!!

Today was my last day of work at the office, so I wanted to present myself as professionally and as well as I could.

So of course I drove the Boxster to work. Met with my successors, tied up some loose ends, had a great lunch with my charges, then drifted off quietly into the sunset of retirement.

And now, Scarlett is my DD. :D

Woo Hoo! Congratulations:cheers:

Washed it, tookmitmout for a 40 mile trip on the why to stretch her out a bit.

Today I stuck my head in my footwell and my feet in the air and replaced my brake pedal switch so that my brake lights would work again. It was a head-spinning ordeal.

Congrad to you. Beer of your choice on me!

..............watched my wife and daughter drive away in it? wtf?

Good for you! Enjoy every but of it...

Cleaning the interior then on to the clay bar.

Drove it to work, runs well in sub zero temps.

Not exactly today...last weekend actually. Replaced stock radio with inexpensive JVC Bluetooth unit that was onsale at BB for $79. I could not get the alternator and ignition noise to shut up after install so I removed the stock amp as well.

Sound great running the dash speakers (Polk 4") and the stock door speakers (soon to be replaced).

Last week:
New spark plugs, tubes, and O-rings
New front rotors
New fuel filter
Manual Transmission oil change
Bled clutch and brakes
New Post cat bank 1 O2 sensor
Painted lug bolts (mostly got scraped off when putting back on but the faces look good)

Today: replacing front hood shocks with "URO Parts" shocks from Amazon. $12.96 Each; we'll see how they do...
