I didn't do anything with my 996 today. However, I did get notification that my oil sample arrived at Blackstone. The suspense!!!!!

My report came back today, and while there was nothing I'm worried about, here's how the report read:

"Michael: The last report looked fine..." (Heart explodes in my chest, stomach doing flippy flops)

"...this one looks a little better." (Heart back to normal rate, stomach settles down)

I think the good folks at Blackstone are bored and playing pranks. Whew.

Drove to the music store With my son to look a guitars. Of course I found something I “need”.
Got home to find a couple small oil spots on the garage floor.....just when I thought I had that sorted. Oh well, the Porsche ran great ( about a 2 hour round trip).

Hopefully you were able to fit the purchase in the back seats.

My 996 deposits one or two drops a month on the floor. Compared to the ongoing hemorrhage of every fluid on the Corvette side of the garage, that counts as "doesn't leak" in my book.

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.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Had the UAOS that Skip (PTech3) designed put on. Pretty cool engineering. This latest version is pretty stout. My Indie was impressed. Never used Posi-Taps before. Found a 30 second YouTube on how-to. It took me 20 whole minutes to remove SAI and tap the wires and they look much better than a crappy splice job I would cobble together. I should never, ever have to replace another effing AOS!
