Drove it yesterday because it was the 1st blue clear sky day (w/o visible pollution from the forest fires) in the SF Bay Area for about a month.

Yes! First top-down day in my wife’s 987 boxster after the smoke cleared! Of course during the smokiness that meant more time in the C4S...

The weather here in SC is starting to become perfect driving weather...,

Unfortunately, suffered a right wrist injury about two weeks ago making gear changes painful.

I had a star crack in my windshield fixed. I hope it really works, I don't want to fork out cash for a brand new windshield at the moment.

Also, I learned to stay about a 1/4 mile behind any kind of truck, lol.

Took mine to get an estimate on a top and put a deposit on the work. Now I am debating on selling both my cars and getting an RS3 lol.

I just bought the OEM replacement. I get enough feel of the engine with the stock mounts.

Replaced my mounts today after changing oil. Old were definetly worn out. Replaced with Rennline, yellow inserts. Glad I didn’t put in red as the yellow can really be felt in cabin.
