Default Ruby lives on....

....well she never stopped. But, she has sat for over 6 week, due to the arm being hacked up. I've snuck Sapphire out to cars and coffee a couple of times, as power steering makes the drive easier. I only got one "0-60" run in during the 10 min drive, but she felt good.

Thanks Ed. I also enjoyed the flat torque of Ruby compared to the rush Sapphire gives at 4K+. Ruby's the quicker of the 2, due to better power-weight ratio....although someday I'd like to line them up!

Ruby looks 10x more like a sports car.

Well Sapphire's getting her first mods soon. New shocks and ROW springs to lower her an inch or so, are ordered!

Very nice Ed. I'm very partial to Ruby ... it is just special. On a personal note, there is going to be quite a bit of commuting in my life for atleast the next couple of years, w/ wife and kids using the Cayenne for their daily needs and I can't wait to finally put my 911s to some real use.

Enjoy Amar! I'm appalled at how little Ruby has been driven this year between the crappy weather, business and my surgery.

Can't get away on a Saturday? It's just a few hours for you from Sac, right?

Hahaha! I am probably going to be putting on a pumpkin patch/ rides/ food/etc.

There are 15 weekend days in Oct this year! I think Lori will be there helping out, at least that's the plan unless her work schedule at Macy's messes that up.
