So is that the handicapped card or the very cool front airdam? I hope you do not have a steep driveway?

A nice hot sunny day, plastic paint scraper, patience and this is all you need.

The handicapped placard. I do have a steep driveway, but I’m used to it. Take bumps at an angle and it rarely scrapes, and if it does it’s minor. It’s those cement parking blocks you have to look out for. The front end is longer that it appears from the driver’s seat.

Yep, i ripped the stock batwing off a few times on those concrete parking blocks, which caused me to have to upgrade to my Techart spoiler, but better design.

Oh, that sucks. So far, the worst self-inflected injury I’ve done in a nice dent from leaning on the fender while installing a battery..

Right after I bought mine in 2004, I bought what was supposed to be the second to last factory one in existence. I liked it because it was plastic so it was a little flexible. When I “sold” it to a buddy, he went bankrupt due to a gambling debt and I had to repo it. It wasn’t on it when I got the car back. (But a new clutch was, so there’s that)

I bought a DR-1 fiberglass replacement that’s sturdier, but I worry about it tearing the whole front clip off if I ever hit something.

That DOES suck!
Yesterday, I washed my car. I saw a few scraps and scratches that I do not know how they got there.

I'm planning my drive down from Cincy to Florida. I plan on taking the scenic route through the smokeys. Anyone have some recommendations on where I should stay in/near Tail of the Dragon? Yes, I know it's crowded. I already drove it in my RS5 last year at the beginning of the season...one other car on it.

Other roads I need to do? I'm thinking about Devil's Triangle, The Rattler, and possibly Route 60.

I think the Cherohala Skyway would be more fun than the dragon in a 968. BRP is fun if you’re not in a hurry. One if the best convertible roads in the east. There are literally hundreds of great roads around Asheville and Eastern KY.
