I saw a bit on him. Tough indeed. I liked his words while rolling out "I beat it!"FRUNKenstein wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 8:52 pm Drove it downtown to cheer on a 99 year old WW2 Marine Corps veteran as he walked out of a rehab facility after beating Covid-19.

That man was a veteran of the battles of Okinawa, Saipan and Tinian. If I ever get in bar fight, I want that dude on my side as he’s one tough SOB.
Hell yeah you did!

Had a great drive in my 996 last night. All was well until I woke up. (sniffle)

Took a drive of about 25 miles and ended up at a local restaurant for a quick take-out, curbside-pickup, breakfast. Just happened to encounter several of our local PCA chapter who apparently all got the same great idea at the same time!!
Social distancing car club style: spread the cars out [my 996 is far left], get out the lawn chairs and have breakfast while shouting at each other due to the @#$% social distance regs. I think Kansas is still in Gulag mode until we get a new governor.

This is beautiful! Took the cab out today for a nearly 200 mile drive with the wife. Ran into a classic muscle car group, saw a Ferrari and Aston, and got a wave from a 997 driver going the other way. I miss the PCA drives!Einsteiger wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2020 1:41 pm Took a drive of about 25 miles and ended up at a local restaurant for a quick take-out, curbside-pickup, breakfast.

At the end of the day, drove it home in a (gasp!) light rain. Hey, it didn’t melt!

That may be my car in the top center next to the SY Cayman. And that may be Blrmkr’s GR 996tt in the foreground on the right.Einsteiger wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2020 1:41 pm Took a drive of about 25 miles and ended up at a local restaurant for a quick take-out, curbside-pickup, breakfast.

My question is: did you hear any ticking during your drive?
