Porsche car day for us (yeah), took the 986 out for a ten miles ride only - before it fails!
- 10 miles away car from leaving home, car break down
- Flat tire (fak)
- No spare (spare tire delete, IDIOT, fak x10)
- Call my mate (live right next to us), he can't find my spare tire anywhere
- Hire a cab, ride back home to pick up a friggin "tire"
- Porsche alone, no owner, on the hazard light somewhere in Shanghai
nastyyyy, all of ity
Do NOT delete spare tire again

Fred,
I hope everything turned out ok for both you & the car after sitting unprotected.
I spent the day getting new rubber & an alignment. Drove w/ the top down in 50 F weather to Mom's house and got promptly scolded about getting getting a cold. http://www.986forum.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif
Oh well, that what convertibles are for. http://www.986forum.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Optimistically ordered the insurance back on for Wednesday (despite predictions of below freezing) figuring it has to warm up sometime. Started work on a dock bench in the garage, facing the Boxster while I worked. Put a smile on my face.
