Unless you’re a hostage...rope that s**t off with crime-scene tape and move...

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.

Fscking rain.
Does it count? In a word

And, you live in San Diego while the rest of us are staring down winter like Lynyrd Skynyrd on the dance floor with another man's woman staring down the barrel of a forty-fo. No bitchin' about the weather for you, mister.

I had someone coming over to pick up some old free furniture from our basement, so I had to clear out the garage. The 911 got moved to the neighbor's driveway, and then straight back into the garage cause it was getting late. SO, no drive, no warm up. I'm assessing myself 10 Raby Demerits for this callous, wanton abuse of my M96. :(

Technically two days ago, but picked up my son from college 45 miles away, for the Thanksgiving break. He told me not to bring the Porsche, as he had a giant duffle bag, a smaller duffle bag, two other soft bags, a laundry hamper, his tennis bag with four rackets, and a TV (32”). So of course I drove the Porsche (Sunny and dry, it needed the exercise). Surprised the kid when everything fit no problem with room left for more crap. And did not even get it dirty on the round trip to Springfield and back.

Sunny for last weekend’s back country blast...cold and rainy all week...and 70 and sunny all weekend.

Washed the 996 barefoot in the driveway tonight.

I dried the water off of it...my 996 spent the night in the driveway in the rain. Please don't tell the Porsche police.

I haven't washed my 996 in more than a month. Gnat would be proud. ;)
