Dropped some $$$ this month!

In the past 3 weeks, I have spend quite a few bucks on the Boxster!

3 weeks ago, I had the old clear bra removed, the car completely detailed with paint correction and scratch removal and then a new clear bra installed.

1 week later I had the 60k mile service done including oil change, all filters, plugs, tubes done. I had the AOS done and the water pump replaced which included new coolant.

Today I got new rubber all around.

Car looks and runs fantastic, but I am a little nervous about the credit card bill!

My wife said "Its your baby, you have to keep it perfect!" I love her! (my wife that is)!

Nice! I bet it's a great feeling to have all of that work done, and a better feeling to be married to your wife!

Growing up in Ft Collins/Loveland, I can imagine cruising College Ave in a nicely detailed Boxster and then maybe taking a sprint over around Horsetooth Reservoir or up to Estes Park - What a fun afternoon that would make!
And do something nice for your wife too!

Good maintenance and timely repairs are an older car's best friends!

As for great wife's, when you find one, keep her!

Many of you will recognize that I list my wife as my primary sponsor in my racing videos - any woman who can stomach 10 sets of new tires per year and a spare engine sitting in the workshop (just in case) is pretty incredible.
