Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

Not a good day in the 996 forum. Had to put Scooter down. Cancer progressed quickly. Best cat and friend ever.

Sorry for your loss Mike. Our 4 legged family members lives are far too short

I got the 914 ready for a sunset photoshoot yesterday, only to have it start raining just as the photographer showed up at my house. So, glad I spent a couple of hours detailing it.

It goes into the shop tomorrow morning to get an oil leak fixed along with checking out a possible intermittent gas leak on the injector for cylinder 2. Hopefully both minor issues and it's back out quickly. But, I'm trying a new shop that owned by a young guy that just graduated from McPherson College's automotive program. I'm confident that he's talented, but you always worry about the general business acumen of someone just starting out. For example, is it going to sit around for a month waiting for parts or for him to "get around to it?"

If he does well on this job, the 928 needs a waterpump/timing belt change and a couple of other issues resolved, so hopefully it works out well. My normal Porsche mechanic is still my go-to guy, but he doesn't like 928s and prefers working on the newer water cooled cars rather than the old air cooled stuff.

That is one sweet looking 914! Are you going to AutoX it this summer?? It would be excellent at that task and look great while doing it.

Thanks, Billy!! Yes, I will AutoX it at least once this year. Our first AutoX of the season is April 20th.

BTW, you could see it in person on April 27th if you want to come down to KC for the 996outpost get-together! Heck, I'd even let you drive it. I would absolutely love to have you come down for the weekend or even just the day. I think you'd really enjoy it.

BTW #2: We are now on page 997 of this thread. We missed celebrating page 996, dammit!

Well, for those of us plebes who don't get to see the extra posts you mods do, we're still on page 996!

Wait a second didn't this already happen? Am I losing my mind?? Hooray long live 996!

I have a "wheel guy" - which makes me über-lame.

I used Meguiar's wash and shine w/ ceramic on the pile last weekend...and I'm kind of impressed. It's now a 15-footer instead of a 20-footer.

The wheels look good. Did you have them painted? They look too shiny for Plasti-dip.

New family addition! Prior owner was killed in a motorcycle crash. Needed a home, so took him in. A cow... 15.5 lbs.!

Congrats on the new family addition, and for stepping up to adopt him (or maybe vice-versa...it is a cat, after all). He appears to be adjusting quickly to his new environment.

PERFECT! Looks like he loves the tile in that shower. You'll have to clean-up somewhere else.
