That's only an average of 1.6 times a year at the high mark. Sometimes it goes a few years and then I get a year where I don't want to admit it needs a new battery...

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
Be thankful, I'm going to have to replace 6 deep cell batteries in my golf cart. Yea, we're southern "city folk"... can't have 4 wheelers in the city limits, but golf carts are allowed. Go figure. So that's what my girls use to drive around. But a set of deep cell batteries is going to cost me over $1000. Ugh!
I'm not ready for the inevitable future of electric vehicles.

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
Look I like red and all. In fact I have to just look where I live. The Turbro is a little over the top. Can't believe he owns the Mini...way to much silver on that dude!kcattorney wrote: ↑Sun Jul 22, 2018 8:00 pm Welp, I think I found someone who likes red even more than I . . .

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
I bought a PDR kit after reading a post by Dporto. I am amazed at how well it works. Here is a pretty deep ding in my fender that I was able to pull out very easily. The best 68 bucks I've ever spent.

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
Nice job! Is it a glue-pull kit or did you get the tools that tap the dent out from behind?
Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
It's a hot glue kit. That ding was about 90% gone with the first pull. It took just a few more pulls to completely get rid of it. I was amazed. Get one that has a slide hammer if you're going to give it a try. The kit I got came with a ton of tools. I had a couple of small hail dents in the hood and pulled them out easily.

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
I didn’t do anything with my 996 today ... dog had to go to the vet, which is definitely a job for the Cargo Vessel.
Weekend before last, I drove my 996 here, to see some of its distant cousins get thrashed by Corvettes and Lamborghinis and whatnot (GT LM and GT Daytona, respectively):
