Dittos man, ouch!

Car still looks bad-***. Good news is it can be fixed.
Hang in there.

Took my 981 gts for a 1:45 ride down to university of Virginia from nova, watched a college baseball game and drove it back. 60 degrees. Perfect day.

I finally replaced the yellow side markers with the clear LED ones. I also added a rubber rear boot liner. Quick shipping from Suncoast Parts. I also bought the RAGGTOPP Cleaner and Protectant after reading recommendations here.

Warmer temps and no rain for once, so I took a great drive out to US 129 “The Dragon” on the border of TN and NC. This was the first time I’ve really got to push this car anywhere near its limits and was all smiles. So much better than anything I’ve ever driven thorough there! Looking forward to really exploring what it can do on a track.

Took a victory ride to celebrate a record day on Wall St. - def took a beating last week so it felt good to get back some of my losses LOL.

Also, it was pretty epic weather wise - over 60 degrees In winter in NJ.

And I survived Shades of Death Road.



Shades of Death Rd. Who would buy a house there.

Took another spin today to help me forget about my losses in the stock market - yesterday we were up and today right back in the toilet today. LOL.

Hit a few of my favorite spots and slowly getting the G Meter up there.




Hawks Nest - Route 97 just North of Port Jervis, NY



Roebling Bridge - Lackawaxen, PA






One of the loneliest roads in NJ ( trust me there’s not to many lonely roads in NJ ). Layton, NJ

What option is required to get this "Maximum G-Force" indicator? Is this part of Sport Chrono?

Yes, it’s part of the sport Chrono package.

Added an extended clutch slave cylinder bleed screw. I hate messing with that bleed in the stock position.

Now access is a breeze.

Took advantage of the perfect spring like weather in the North east today and did about 300 miles on the back roads of Pennsylvania.

The highlights of the day were “ Pennsylvania’s Tail of the Dragon “ - Route 125 from Jonestown, PA to Shamokin, PA.

Union Chapel to Shamokin

Then I started to wandered towards home and hit the Weatherly Hill Climb route. The hill climb course is only a mile but theres some extremely challenging turns on it.
