I work for StandardAero which is headquartered in Scottsdale. We have a big site with 1,200 employees in Winnipeg. Get a job there and maybe we can get you transferred south. ;)

I know Standard Aero quite well. I'm recently retired but the company I worked for supplied them industrial gases and related equipment.

I know, your next question is why the hell did I retire in Winnipeg. All I can say is, it is my home. I was down in the Phoenix area last March visiting my sister who spends 5 months a year in Mesa. She loves it down there.

Put my hard top on

and went out for a quick spin. Recorded my top speed on my phone's speedometer app. (Actually, I was in Japan a few weeks ago, recorded that top speed while on the Bullet Train from Kyoto to Tokyo!)

You need to stay with your sister more. I been to Winnipeg in winter and for me it's brutal. I am spoiled having never lived with a real winter living in California and Arizona all my life.

If you want to work againI know the guy that handles the H1B visas. ;)

Slowly but surely
 
I've only had my Boxster for about 2 months. I cleaned it, waxed it, upgraded the stereo (about to redo the entire sound system), replaced headlights and tail lights, replace wheel center caps, replace all trunk lifts, about to install mesh headrest inserts and paint rotors, added etched glass decal and valve stems, about to add rear diffusers/splitters....I love this car and by the Summer of 2016 I expect to have one of the best ones on the road!!

Nice! You've done a lot in 2 months. Did you research those LED headlamps before buying? I've read some of them have had quality/burning problems.

I am very close to pulling the trigger on new headlamps as I need to get rid of the pre-2003 ambers that are on my 2003. I've been thinking of just buying the OEM halogens and converting them to HID (my ambers are converted), or maybe just leaving them halogen with Osram Night Breaker bulbs.

Honestly didn't do much research on the headlights but "so far so good", I really hope that they last because I love the way they look and don't want to change them. I had the halogen and upgraded to LEDs but it just didn't "pop" they way the aftermarket kit does.

72 and sunny yesterday- in WVa of all places! I had to drop the top and do some last minute shopping

WillH 12-25-2015 12:26 PM

Santa dropped off a short shift kit so it would have been rude not to install it :)

I've had these for almost 2 years....converted the low beam with HID kit.
Converted fog light to HID as if you use regular halogen, you will bake/boil the fog light housing due to heat. Or you can choose not to use the fogs

imari 12-25-2015 04:25 PM

Light dangers??

So are you saying that I can convert the low beam to HID but DO NOT do the fog lights or I'll risk baking the housing??

What wheels look best?????
 
I've finally found some wheels that I think I'll put on my 2001 Boxster. I'm upgrading to 19" but I'm a bit torn...here are some illustrations of what I'm debating. There are 2 slightly different ones that I'm debating...all thoughts are welcome.

The ones on the FRONT or REAR????
