What's the round cap on top of the battery's negative post?

PS- 227hp at the wheels, about 2600lbs.

Wow, i wasn't expecting that.....

Great car !

The 993 is not too bad either.

Any plans with the 993 ?
Stupid question probably....

I'm loving her...up most of the night starting my data sheet, maintenance log, reading the manual and the Essential Companion. Ripped the glovebox out to install an Ipod cable, got her back together, poking around everywhere. I'll probably put her on my lift tomorrow, and look under her skirt.

"Safety improvements." Start with the suspension.

Congrats!

Hi Ed,

Missed your thread and big news (was on a cruise). Congratulations, what a beautiful ride and fantastic color combo (OK I’m a little bit biased)! Sapphire is a lucky a girl!!! Wish I could see her in person! Having both Ruby and Sapphire is a real treat (I thought that was only allowed in Utah)!

Congratulations!

Marco
