Met up with some friends for a “socially distant” gathering and drive. Kept the cars at least 6 ft apart.

Took a drive through the mountains with some buddies. Great scenery and fellowship.

I am changing out my headlight bulbs so I decided to clean out the reflector and the inside of the headlight case glass. I used the pelican tutorial and they said that you need to “break a tab”. I didn’t need to, it just unsnapped. Easy peasy.

Took mine in for an emissions test. Computer had the tech do the test twice which made me nervous. Passed with flying colors. Evidently this happens randomly as per the tech.

Looked at it in the garage today. It snowed this morning, just a dusting, but still. High winds for today and 40's. Where the heck is spring? Had some work done last week ( tie rods, right rear axle boots were cracked), inspected (no emissions, 20 yr rule) and want to drive it.

Installed my Continental head unit from Tore after upgrading the front speakers a few days ago. Great small upgrade and now I can legally talk on the phone while in the car in Georgia

Finally have gauge lights, so I'm not flying blind after dark! I've got a 95, so I went through the diagnosis list. Checked out the dimmer module behind the dash by placing a jumper lead between a couple pins (58 and 58d), no change. Must be the light switch. I tried opening it up and cleaning the connectors but managed to destroy the plastic case. New switch from pelican parts and all is good!!! The astute among you may also notice the brand new ignition surround trim.

I gave Chemical Guys products a try to detail my car. I’m pretty happy with the results.

Replaced MAF, converted light bulbs to LEDs, washed and the drove it for about an hour. Got home and ordered 02 sensors.
Since my yearly Europe trip was cancelled, giving the 993 Targa more attention and loving care that it badly needs; it sat for 5 months while I was in the Philippines.
Be safe everyone.
