Replaced the 14 years old worn out emblem and 10+ years old colour center caps with new ones.

Put my 987.2 Boxster S up on the lift and used the air hose and soft nozzle to blow all the leaves out of the front radiator areas. Easier than having to take the entire front end off!

Well drove in the rain.

Same thing.

There's not too many of those around here, and I've got a collection of those myself...

My battery has decided to die.

So I bought an AntiGravity battery.

Love my Antigravity! I went with the H6 30Ah and have been very pleased. It's even handled sitting for close to 3 weeks without issue. The ReStart feature saved me when I left the keys in the ignition for several days... just pushed the button on the remote and it started right up!

Put in an Xmas gift of a Pioneer ts-wx400da, behind the passenger seat, and then tuned the rest of my aftermarket stereo.

So now all my ICE is Pioneer didn't intend it this way (used to use Alpine, JL, and Phoenex Gold) in prevous cars, but it all fits and works well ..

Amplifier - GM-A3702
HeadUnit -DMH-ZF9350BT
6.75" door - TS-M650PRO
4" door - TS-D1002R
3.5" shelf (x4) - TS-A878
Sub - TS-WX400DA

Sounded good on an old-scool "Prodigy" test run this afternoon.

Finally installed a head unit to replace the aging CDR-24. Wireless Carplay/Android Auto for under $200 is pretty amazing. Hardest part was getting everything wired up correctly with the Bose amp.
Wow, didn't realize how dusty everything is until I saw the blown up picture. Probably won't get to do much about it until this cold snap is done with.

Yeah, no kidding, I need to replace or at least sand down and repaint that entire center console piece. I'll never understand why Porsche thought it would be a good idea to cover that entire area in that soft-touch coating, it ages terribly.

not to thread jack, but:

@juvenescence did you use a fiber-optic adapter for the BOSE system?

@Bibbs - did you use the existing wiring but replace the components? I think this would be a good medium for an install, but without having run wiring. If there is a way to adapt the bose line out plug on the speaker side (i.e. a pigtail or otherwise), that would make for a tidy install without having to run too many wires to each individual speaker.

In a tew years when mine is no longer a daily driver, i will figure out what to do.
