I agree with Sinfulsteve, go heavy on mods and she will never drive it again.
I installed a KEP 600Hp pressure plate, took the cats and resonators of the Ferrari - among other things - now clutch is so heavy you confuse it for the brake pedal and you stink gasoline after a short drive - no one wants ride in it anymore let alone drive it (sad part is that goes for me too...)

Yeah -
I'd install PSS9s (on ball joints). Then I'd install a roll cage, seats, 5 point harness, and then embark on a journey of reducing the weight of your 993: getting rid of the A/C, the radio, windshield wipers (that'll work), and all other unnecessary weight...
Maybe she'll notice the difference in the ride?

I don't get it. Why in the world would anyone WANT to be driving around in a rainstorm wiith the top down? I don't care if it was in an old beat up Chevy Capri convertible with a torn top... Wet is wet.....
Do you think she did it on purpose? Does she want a divorce? Sure looks like it to me!

JoAnne Now on to the surreal aspects... NO S$%@ it surreal........... more like a twilight Zone episode. Not like she does this all of the time but I guess this was the one that drove me over the edge. The car is back to its former self as of tonight and she did in fact assist in the process..... Actually made her take the wheels off and scrub the wheels and wheelwells.
With her apologies accepted and her willingness to help she made a mend. I actually think she really had no clue for the past year what it takes to keep one of these things in show condition.

Sounds like it rains in Colorado just like it does here in R Can Saw.... We say the same thing about our weather. During the summer months I've seen it pour down rain out of a clear blue ski for 10 minutes or so. AND the the temps remain in the 90's and low 100's!
Now that's surreal to this transplanted 993 Girl!!!
Enjoy driving your CLEAN car!
