i kinda like driving the 993 in the rain, not on the freeway though.
turn on the seat heaters
crank the defrost on
smell the burning oil ......................
very snug
it's times like this that i need to stick the intermittent wiper relay back in and deal with the wipers parking on the drivers side.


rode to work this morning
very wet
very windy
sorta cold
Sean Kelly would have been proud!

Merry Christmas back at ya

Weather is clearing up now, looks like the worst is over.

No big deal, they made a lot of 996s.

Sucks to lose a Porsche even if it is a 996!! Now you know what living in the Pacific Northwest can be like, as it seems like the famed "Pineapple Express" has swung its way south.

No kidding! When looking for my 993, I drove a few 996's for comparo. They all woulda been fun-just lacked a bit of soul, and a big fan to move air. I'd hate to have anyone lose anything, due to weather. Especially so, this time of year.
