Im pretty sure this street sign was a dare. I drove the 14 miles just to be sure. Yes, yes it was a dare.

Hit the 100K mark on the clock this morning in the pouring rain.



Changed the oil, switching from my trusty Mobil 1 0W-40 to Motul 8100 X-cess 5W-40, as recommended by the tech guys at Excellence magazine, for the M96 engine.

Just got her back from my indie also, who completed a suspension refresh with new Bilstein HD struts all around and new rear trailing arms. My front brakes took a beating at my last DE at MSR, so I got the front rotors, pads, and sensors replaced.

I’m hoping she’s good for another 100,000 miles, as the engine maintenance was zeroed out at around 80K, complete with new IMS bearing, water pump, AOS, coolant expansion tank and flush, and battery. The engine still runs strong and smooth, never any filings in the oil, the suspension is nice and tight again, and she’s still a damn good looker, to boot.

Are you serious?

You fly an MD80 through weather over 1000 miles and you wonder if I drive my Boxster in the wet?

Scarlett is like the postman............"neither rain nor hail nor sleet nor snow nor heat of day nor dark of night" .....................(OK, maybe not sleet).

Just sayin'..........
