Curbed the shit out of my newly refinished right rear wheel.
Texted my wheel guy, asked how much the idiot tax will cost...he says "if you'll let me refinish that front one I wasn't 100% happy with, I'll do them both for free."
Free or not, his beer fund is going to get a cash infusion.
Were you texting when the curb jumped out in front of you...?

Moved it into my new, recently finished garage. Well, after installing a new battery.
Pics or it never happened!
If you insist! Here is said battery.... notice how fresh and clean it is?
Also, my newly erected, clearly not finished ( these things take time ya know) garage!

Hmmm... Where in Ohio are you? I think I might want to swing by and abscond with that garage

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.

I curbed my brand new TechArt about 2 weeks after getting it because I lost sight of the fact that the back end of the car is wider than the front... Still need to touch it up.

NW corner. Just had some insulation delivered today so that’s the next step. If it manages to dry out around here, I’ll get the disaster area that is my yard fixed from the construction phase. That was a damn disaster.

Swapped my AOS out today
![Evil or Very Mad :evil:](./images/smilies/icon_evil.gif)
for the second time in a year...
Was it not working properly, again?
Correct. Had excessive crankcase pressure and JR helped me diagnose it...No more oil pushing out of my CAM cover (bank 1) or the CAM Bore cap (bank 2)...Garage floor has been dry ever since. I can feel the motor seems happier, placebo effect?

"Italian tune up" day. Blew out that carbon.
Needed to get outside and waste some gas...

Took a break from painting in the garage and drove both the Mini and the 996 to get both really warmed up and just...driven. About 10 miles for the mini and about 30 for the 996. Not quite car washing weather, but close.
