That is not good, and you should feel bad.

I know :/ But you see... when I wash up the boxster and dress up the trims a little it feels like getting a brand new car each time lol

This car always been my MD (monthly driver lol). Just recently dunno. We just had a good mate leaving us for some stupid cancer, and another totaled his spanking new 911 during our last Porsche day out (wet day). Guess we're all taking a break these weeks. Seen an email y'day about going out of town on the 6/7Dec so.... that will be the 986 w/end out I'm guessing. What kind of oil should I use?!

Got a slow leak in the front tire, the thing is half inflated as I type, car full of dust. Embarrassing I tell ya... welfare stuff

As it sits. I did pull off the car cover. The photo may not show it but the car is a mess from the last time at the track - run hard, put away wet. Needs a lot of clean up before the next event.

Pic taken @ 1430. Sporting her new boots that were mounted yesterday. Still looks as good as the day I brought her home. Probably even better since the paint correction.

Undercover until May. Will be sporting painted bumperettes and likely a painted spoiler frame in the spring.
While in hibernation, I'll also drop in new front pads as there's next to no friction material left.

^^^^ That's today in PA??? Hmmmm...

Just got back from a 4.5 hour Boston to NJ trip, with some quality time on the Merritt Parkway. Though I was pushing it with the low temps and the summer tires. Will swap them this weekend.

Taken this afternoon. The previous owner would crap his pants if he knew his garage queen was driven at Laguna Seca, Kansas Speedway, and through the snow and salt of NE. She still gets compliments, even when she's dirty. Heading to the car wash tonight.

Last wk when I was putting the snows on for the first storm of the season, I calculated that Sydney had been spotlessly clean for 5 mo (just before Parade in June). Time for her to go back into regular duty now.
