88 MPH average?

That's awesome.

The missus and I did some serious top-down motoring this afternoon and carved some apexes on the way to BFE in East Texas.

Never get tired of this stuff.............

Finished installing a 3.6 engine in my 2003 Boxster. Turned it over and drove 4 miles.

Took the car out for a drive on the parkway and saw the new projector install in the daylight for the first time

It seems every small town in Nebraska has one restaurant - I believe state law requires that it be an absolute dive - that serves pretty good food. Tonight we drove out to Stockman's in Amherst, for prime rib and a beer. Sunny, only about 45*, but nicer than it's been in days. (It snowed on Wednesday!!) Forecast for the weekend looks good - hopefully the crappy weather is behind us!

2.5 hour drive through the back roads of East Texas with the missus, hunting down the bluebonnets that dot the Texas roadside every spring.

Yesterday was detail and maintenance day, today was drivetime only.

Never get tired of this stuff.

p.s Got premium gas for $3.56 this morning.

Drove it to work. It's going to be 70+ degrees and sunny for the ride home:dance:! I guess I'll have to take the long way home through the curvey, winding hills of Southern Indiana

Placed an order from DC Auto for a used fuel pump and sending unit. I hope I can get my Boxster back on the road soon! It's been three weeks now...

Open house at the P car dealer for the local PCA chapter on Sunday. Drove up with the top down in the freezing cold. Looked at the new Boxsters and the new Cayman. It was a mistake.

Zip-tied my clutch safety switch after the new replacement had the same non-starting issues as the old one. It appears that zip-tying it did the trick. I think that there are times that the physical action of the clutch causes the switch not to close on older cars, but tying it does the trick:-)).
