So I waited all day for UPS to show up. Their website said they were out for delivery. 7pm comes and I finally get an email saying they were damaged in shipping.

Now it's the weekend and I have no seats. I have to have my car loaded in the trailer on Wed night to get it to the show on Thursday. I hope that UPS can get this resolved ASAP as I really wanted the seats for the show.

I trailer it to the autocross events. I get it ready the night before with my race tires on and everything out of it. Makes it nice when you get to the event and have nothing to get ready.

Next weekend is a car show in Portland, OR. It's a 3 hour drive. I am working on getting the car all detailed up and don't want all my effort to go to waste due to all the rain.

I do drive the Boxster almost every day. The only time it stays in the garage is in the snow, or when I have it torn apart to work on it. I beleive if you have a car, you should drive it.

Aww, I see. I didn't catch the auto-x thing at first. That is understandable. I saw "car show" and I was scratching my head! If some guy drove in a car show trailering a boxster that would be a different story.

My seats finally arrived this morning. They had to ship out a new pair yesterday since the first set was sent back after being damaged by UPS. I'm hoping to get them installed tonight and will post pics when I'm done.
