Wheels look good. Kinda pearly on the finish...unless that is just the camera.

Yep, they look good. I need to do something with mine. I have to buy a new set of tires. I found the new wheels I want. Had the set of tires and wheels loaded into my cart on tirerack.com, but just couldn't bring myself to hit the "Buy" button. Only $1,817.17 for tires, wheels, mounting, balancing, taxes and shipping, so not a crazy expensive purchase. But, the wife might not see it that way. Maybe in March . . .

I still need to make the tire decision. Anyone got a ouija board I can borrow??

Ooooh! The redone wheels are fabulous!

What is that green stuff apparently grow near the building in the background. How can stuff be green this time of year!? Is this one of those faked up pictures?

Today was cold as hell but nice and sunny, so good day for driving the Porsche. Hopefully I did not get too many Raby Demerit Points for taking it out at 12 degrees. Also had my indy change the oil and clear a check engine light (O2 sensor, hopefully will stay off), and learned that my backup lights don’t work. Likely have never worked since I have owned the car - never even thought to check them when I bought it. Otherwise my car had its 22nd birthday this month and is doing good. Here is a frosty picture:

He doesn't say don't drive it in the cold, but there are some rules:

1) Use the proper oil.
2) Do not let the car warm up by idling. Start it and drive off.
3) Keep the RPMs low (but don't lug) until the oil is warm.
4) Do not do short trips. The trip should be long enough to heat the oil up and burn off the impurities.

Really those are his rules in general though.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgggggggggggggggg! This would be good for a 3-pager, at least, on RL. Which would hopefully loop back around to a beat down of KK and a new oil thread. Hmmm.
