"It has to be a cat back muffler! Or maybe a new seat! No, no, it has to be a new set of tires! New suspension parts ..."

It's a new type of jack that can lift the whole car and put it on the square stand with one lift.

I'm guessing a PRS strat copy and a Vox or Mesa Boogie practice amp.

With a long handle so you can slide it under the car more easy

Your sig: 2003 Boxster 3.6 LN Nickies Black
NHP exhaust, 987 Intake, IPD Plenum, 74 MM Throtle body, L&N Pan Extension, L&N IMS, RSS Underdrive pulley, Recaro Pole Position seats, Accusump, Remote filter, Softronics Flashed ECU, GSR electric power steering pump Kit. GT3 control arm, KSport coil overs

Holy crap, dude, I though I was going nuts this Xmas buying my 01 a used 2.7, an under drive pulley, a spin on oil filter kit, and a cheezie aftermarket exhaust. I need a brother or a daddy with deep pockets.

Just one question does all that swag make any difference?

A housekeeper with benefits (she works on Porsches) would be nice--the ultimate accessory.

I've been tracking my car for nearly 8 years. Each year I've added some big improvement in the off season. The look on the driver of a 996 GT3 as you go past them is worth every cent. Even better driving past a Boss 302 or C4 or C5 vette priceless.

When I moved down south, I said the best thing was getting rid of the snow-blower.

But the truth is I enjoyed using it and after I had gone out at dawn and done my two driveways and my walk and knocked the snow off the car cover covering my hibernating Boxster, I started in on the public street. The only reason the big street would ever get a government plow was a political big shot lived just up the street. But my little cul-de-sac sac was mine. Wonder what the neighbors did the first snow after I left?

You mean like this? The black car is a 450hp 997 GT3 on track rubber, the two tricked-out Carreras are fully prepared 2400lb, 3.2L race cars, and me in my lil nearly stock 2.9L street car on street tires.
