Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?

Heh. I remember doing a "curb job" on my sister's Beetle back in the 80's...the muffler was rotted out, so I cut the bottom out of a Folgers can, snipped the side open, and wrapped the mess around the exhaust with baling wire. Our neighbors were unimpressed with the curbside repairs... Sh...

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?

I feel your pain. I'm due for an oil change and have put that off for weeks because...well...no motivation. Nobody tell Jake...! I can tell you what I don't want to do: the brakes. Brake pad wear light went on this morning. Easiest job in the world, I know, but I am running out of motivation. My bi...

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?

Holy crap! A 996 owner who does NOT have the pad wear sensors zip-tied to the brake lines?!? I can tell you what I don't want to do: the brakes. Brake pad wear light went on this morning. Easiest job in the world, I know, but I am running out of motivation. I cut so many corners, my jobs are a circ...

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

Ok...Ok you watched the movie The Exorcist...right? I have never actually seen the movie. I did used to hangout at the "Exorcist steps" in my late teens down in DC though. Now I may need to watch it again. 70s horror movie, which means it takes its time building up the tension, then it re...

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?

70 in a 40. Only 40 because of construction. Cop said he gave me a break with "reckless driving," a straight-up speeding ticket would have been a lot more. I can't complain too much, but it was late and no one was on this four lane road. Such is life. In VA you ALWAYS take the plain speed...
