I took the car out out for a 30 minute drive, all nice and clean and revvy. Rung the beast out on some back roads to assess what else I could do to tweak the suspension. I could do a few things to help with power-on push, but that’s just a niggle. Got back to the house, paused for a moment to look around expecting to find an item or two to fidget with. Nope.
Ended up doing a little dusting and patted the dash. Good times!
What did you do to/with your 996 today?

I'll let the guy who tows my car out of the ditch worry about how to fix the paint...and get the charred remains out of the driver seat. 
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.

Fixed the front turn signal
Was a little PITA.
The bulb was good, wiring from headlight socket to connector was good. Had power from the car connector, but no blinky
Had to bend the contact in the headlight connector a little and then had blinky!!
