Default Home at last!!!!

After being flooded 2 years ago in Katrina and replacing the block due to TBF, I finally got my car back home! I brought it home on the 2 year anniversary of Katrina!!!!! How appropriate? She is Cobalt Blue Metallic taken from Porsche Carrera, I have allot to do both inside and out but she will be nice........... P.S. if anyone is in the area and wants to lend a hand teaching, learning or just drinking beer and watching send me a message and we'll talk.

Hang in there. The whole crew in DFW is with you, and if there's something you need from us, holler. Good to see you're back home too.

"Did that guy blog from N.O. during the aftermath of the storm?"

Yep. During, too, iirc. And, iirc again, he's a fireman.

Very glad to see this report. Like the Phoenix avatar (though it's a shame there isn't a mythological reborn from being drowned. ;-)

Stay Safe, Brent.

Brent,
That's awesome to finally see that thing painted because I remember the day we loaded it from where it was flooded, and it was very unsure if that Beast would ride again. What a turn around! Good luck at getting it back together, and I know if anyone can get it back right, it's you. Hope all is well.
