What did you do to/with your 996 today?

Sometimes the right tool for the job is not a lift, after all, it's a crazy Hawaiian.

Keep rocking 808!

Your neck must be wrecked.

Just spent 4 days trying to get my transmission back in after a failed pressure plate. I am sorer all over!

And so much more! Busted knuckles, blisters, sore back, hands and wrist...Not to mention, I konked my head so many times I can't count
The #1 bolt on the bellhousing is a real bitch!

I get to do it all over again in March when the

Drove to Porsche breakfast, then Cars and Coffee. After that, swapped over to winter rims and all season tires.

As promised, here is the first UOA after draining the Porsche Classic Oil. And...no meaningful changes from last time. Zinc is higher, which I suspect is a good thing as it appears to be zinc left over from the oil, and more zinc is better I think.

Anyway, if anyone cares, attached.

Glad to hear your car got a clean bill of health. Maybe that Porsche Classic stuff is worth the $$$$?

Eh, probably not. Not sure why I changed other than I am a sucker. Ha ha

After being gone for a week, I took it for a blast this afternoon. Forgot that the pass-side regulator is completely boned and rolled down the window.

I caught it mid-fall on the on-ramp to 8W and lowered it by hand before shifting to third. Sometimes, a 6.5’ reach is helpful.

I am a COLOSSAL moron. I’m certain the tint is scratched, but at least the glass didn’t break.

Now this is the ultimate definition of multi-tasking!

Life has a way of reminding me on a regular basis that I'm not very smart, too, albeit generally in a less sphincter-puckering way than that.

On a somewhat-related note, my favorite near-death experience happened on 805 about 2 miles south of there.
