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.
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.

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 $$$$?OceanBlue2000 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 7:31 am As promised, here is the first UOA after draining the Porsche Classic Oil.

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
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.5chn3ll wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 5:41 pm After being gone for a week, I took it for a blast this afternoon.

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