I picked This up from tech inspection and dropped off That.



Front engine mount was bad on This and I didn't even know. Another note: I had flushed the brakes with Prestone DOT 4 Synthetic, they recommended I use a higher temperature fluid next time even though it met the standard.

Annual occurrence now; drove my 20 years old Superboxster into the elevated airport's parking to avoid having it flooded. Already about half a dozen of ferrari and lambo parked there this afternoon. The place is getting famous for saving cars so you have to run there a few days before if you want a spot lollll

This angry thing is coming right at us spinning at 175mph. Not worried for now but these pacific typhoon often intensify when they hit the mainland and in 75% of the cases climbs right up and flood the fk out of us. Ask me how I know, not talking any chances :/

Too kind brother

On that attached pic, the red banner, the SuperB and I are hiding behind the first "N" (word typhoon). Let's hope this beast doesn't swivel upward as they always do :/ Christ we just got flooded, everything is already at full capacity here.

I'll post pic of myself wearing my 2016 Swimwear soon. Daytona Beach stuff wait and see
