Refurbished my scuffed sill plates with Plasti-Dip. Cheap and easy project, and it turned out great.

Flushed the brake fluid x 2 cars. Found it was easy enough to do with the wheels on, wrenching between the spokes. Quick and easy using the Motive Power Bleeder. Taking them in for tech inspection later this week.

Being towed to my indy to have ignition switch replaced. I know it`s a DYI job but at 62 my body won`t contort enough.
Here`s the best part. They key won`t go into the tumbler. When I did get it out the steering won`t lock. And because its tip I cant get it into N. So no flatbed. Then when they get it to the shop they have to back it in the bay.$40 part 100 labor. Free tow thanks to CAA.

Drove up to South Lake Tahoe via Hwy 50, yesterday. Found myself behind a Golf R32 on the way back. He didn't like having a Boxster on his tail. I quit following when he exceeded 90 MPH on the 55 MPH sections. Too many blind intersections on that road.

I picked This up from tech inspection and dropped off That.
Front engine mount was bad on This and I didn't even know. Another note: I had flushed the brakes with Prestone DOT 4 Synthetic, they recommended I use a higher temperature fluid next time even though it met the standard.

Annual occurrence now; drove my 20 years old Superboxster into the elevated airport's parking to avoid having it flooded. Already about half a dozen of ferrari and lambo parked there this afternoon. The place is getting famous for saving cars so you have to run there a few days before if you want a spot lollll
This angry thing is coming right at us spinning at 175mph. Not worried for now but these pacific typhoon often intensify when they hit the mainland and in 75% of the cases climbs right up and flood the fk out of us. Ask me how I know, not talking any chances :/

Yesterday evening I built a fire extinguisher bracket and mounted it in front of the passenger seat.
I used 25mm wide and 2mm thick aluminium strips and stainless screws and nuts (nyloc) to piece it together. Then I mounted it to the front seat bolts.

Too kind brother
On that attached pic, the red banner, the SuperB and I are hiding behind the first "N" (word typhoo n). Let's hope this beast doesn't swivel upward as they always do :/ Christ we just got flooded, everything is already at full capacity here.
I'll post pic of myself wearing my 2016 Swimwear soon. Daytona Beach stuff wait and see

Added rear speakers
Some description pics in DIY section. '98 with rear storage bag. Bought hard rear storage unit and speaker bracket and wiring kit (Euro Motorspeed.). PITA was tab that retained bag but interfered with hard shelf. Had to remove it which required some prying apart and drilling out rivets.
