Went to get some new lug bolts to replace my security ones. I also needed a plastic clip. Couldn't resist this photo opportunity

Well, this was actually on Sunday and it may not look like it in this picture, but it was 60deg so I took the Boxster out of winter storage for a couple hour drive.
I even had the top down for a while.
Of course this is Minnesota, so the forecast is for 5-10" of snow the end of this week.

Hey, thanks! It's OEM Porsche. It is the AeroKit II front bumper with a 996 GT3 lip spoiler. I already had found the AeroKit II side skirts, then I found the bumper with the lip spoiler online from a guy removing all the mods before selling his Boxster. I felt pretty lucky to find it because I have not seen many for sale used.
Here is a better pic of the front bumper from a couple years ago.

Just won (stole) a 3 spoke steering wheel and airbag on eBay for $319.44!!!
I can't wait to get it dyed black and installed! 
It's got some light scratches on the airbag, but I can take care of that easy.

Back on Friday I took the car out for the first time in over a month.
Also that same day, it turned over 100,000 miles. Officially old now?

While I was replacing a bulb in the rear I decided to remove both lenses in the rear and clean all the crap out of the body and around the lenses and inspect the seals. I feel better that the area is clean now. There was some debris, but mostly dust and caked dirt back there.

Drove my silver 2000S to top of Mt. Diablo with my brother. Blue sky and 70's! But a slowpoke idiot in a Prius right in front if us and no room to pass! Why is it that most Prius (and Volvo) drivers are slowpoke idiots?
