Nice...one of the best looking 986's I've seen both inside and out.

It's got a menacing look to it, I could easily see David Hasselhoff driving it...

I like those rims and I'm not a particularly rim-fixated individual.

I think the limo tint on the side windows and no amber really makes the difference. Plus, those Camaro rims do make the car look unique... in a bad way if you ask me.

I'm going to find some ammonia at the grocery store and spray down the windows and remove the tint altogether, and move up to 18's after this set of tires is worn out.

I've got a bunch of little projects lined up:

Replace the coolant overflow tank (preventative maintenance)
Replace the handbrake as mine has a crack in the plastic (got a brand new one on ebay for $9 a year ago!)
Replace the hinge on the oddments tray (everyone should do this if they own an older boxster whether it needs it yet or not)
Replace the muffler with one I've had modified to make it louder one way or another.

None of these things are all that expensive considering I already have the parts. I just have to make the time to do them. I don't work all that hard at the office (look at my thread posting times for proof) but I'm tired when I get home.

No offense, but I totally agree. Randall, you're my brother, so it is with love that I tell you "let's update those rims first things first!"

Remember those chrome Carrera's you liked? I hear them calling your name.

Oh Jeph, you have no idea how much I wanted to do that instead of buy new 17 inch rubber for those Camaro rims...

But like I posted in another thread, the wife has it in her head to renovate the front part of our 105 year old home near downtown Houston and she hasn't a clue as to what trim carpentry costs these days and the price of wood!

I am afraid that I must "donate" at least a couple of grand in my Porsche fund to the wife's "make the front room look pretty" fund.

A happy wife is a happy life. Or, when Momma ain't happy, nobody's happy!

One day you'll get married and fully understand these statements.

New rims and a new top will have to be done in 2007 the way I see my extra cash coming in. I can live with what I have now... the car's in great shape and driving really well... I type this with crossed fingers, hoping not to jinx anything.
