Changed my oil. I saved a ton of money by getting Mobil 1 for $22 for 5 quarts.

Noticed a flyer in the local Pep Boys describing a car show in town today. After a short detail job, I swung by the show with my Boxster and entered her in the import class.
Over 90 entrants; there sure was a lot of fine Dee-Troit iron there today, and a healthy field of imports too.
In the end, though, the Boxster took home 1st in class.
Awesome, baby! Yeah!

Changed front control arms ( get rid of the noise on left hand turns), drained and changed coolant of the cooling system and took off the front bumper to clean the radiators. Mine were'nt as bad as I've seen posted here but there were rocks, leaves and a dead bird in the radiators!

Pennsylvania Trolley Museum
We drove our 2000 black base Boxster from Cleveland to Washington Pa (150 miles) for a weekend at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum. It was terrific. It was a hot ride back with the top down and temps in the 90's but the car ran well. The new hoses and water pump and low temp thermostat I installed this Spring must be working.

Yes, that is mine. Too bad we didn't get to meet and talk Boxsters.
There was a pretty good turn out given the rain in the morning, but the Carrera GT I have seen in past years wasn't there. Hope you enjoyed the day.

Took the Porsche up to see a castle overlooking the village. The place was empty so I snapped a few pics.

Over the weekend:
LED license plate lights (will make a DIY on this with specific products, because it came out perfect, and I've done a lot of "setups" over the years.)
New motor mount - huge difference
03+ tail light conversion - looks so much newer
Top Speed pro 1 catback - had to add some washers to keep it from rubbing the heat shield , but I love it. Could be louder in some conditions, but my neighbors would be pissed. At certain RPMs it's very loud.
Oil change - Mobile 1 10w-40. It's already 100+ degrees out every day here.
GoPro - bought for capturing hill country cruises.
Today:
Figure out why my top won't go back up.
Install new drop in filter and remove snorkel
On the way:
Center cap replacements
Porsche flag for the garage to add to the collection.

I attempted to install Jay Senoff's wind deflector on my '05 S on Saturday. After 20 minutes of trying to drill a hole in my roll bar I gave up. Took it to the shop this morning and they are doing it at a charge of about 1.5 hours. Also getting a 120k major service done while it's there.
On the plus side, I took the car over to the Malibu hills and ran through the canyons there. First time really putting the car through its paces. Love the sound of that engine revving up past 5k rpms. My girlfriend says it sounds like a racecar! I have to agree.
I'll post pics of the installed wind deflector when I get the car back.

That is some sweet-lookin' ride, mump.
Wish I could be there; there are no castles in Texas, and the land is basically flat.....................for hundreds of miles.

I gave mine a thorough wash last night, and now it looks so much nicer.

Gave it a little exercise... hit 120 on one of those crazy 2 lane roads out here in the middle of nowhere where the road stretches out in front of you seemingly forever, enabling you to see everything in front of you for a mile or two. Car was dead solid and stable, no drama. What a joy to drive this car!
