Lightbulb Visited local performance muffler shop

The muffler tips on my 996 2004 CS2 are under the bumper. The passenger side has melted and cracked the bumper a bit. I need to extend the muffler tips to be even with the bumper, and need to point the tips downward.

I just took my 996 out for a lunchtime ride, of course a bird dropped some "waste" on my windshield, I hit the wash and turned on my windshield wipers and when I turned them off they continued to run! Any ideas? Thanks.

Took the jalopy out to run errands. I love this car!


Just happened to be parked by brother-in-law’s wine bar.

Did you try moving the stalk to different positions? Maybe the whole stalk switch broke inside. Hope you figure it out. Turning off the car will make the wipers stop, but you will have the same problem when you start up again.

My C2 coupe has it.


I cleaned by floor mats and my dog decided he liked them.

why is it I have dog hair in my 996 and my dogs have never been in it?

I took mine on a long early morning commute, the first in over a year.
I had to visit a data center on the other side of town and wanted to get there and back before the predicted thunderstorms got here.
I almost made it.
My car is finally dust free...and has some road dirt on it for the first time in quite a while.
It was a very fun drive.

I did have some nut in an orange Dodge Charger try to get me to race him.
He finally weaved his way through traffic and left.
I was driving fast, but didn't want to race while weaving through traffic.

Ya, I get the guys in the Dodge diesel trucks with 6 inch exhaust trying to "roll coal" on me or the guys with Mustangs trying to race me. Yes it's better to just ignore them.

Took out the battery tray, cleaned it within an inch of its life, and lightly sprayed some bed liner on it. Cleaned up all the mounting hardware and clear coated them, and then placed the new battery in along with the battery tender.

lol. I sort of resemble this stereotype. Except with a Raptor 6.2l. I’ll play/push a little when I come across my brethren. Amazing truck. Sounds better and has been called the Gt3 of trucks back in it’s day...

Ok, I guess I also sort of resemble this..... Pickups aren't "trucks" anymore; they are SUVs with an open back. They're just pickups (not trucks). {now ducking down as the wrenches come flying in my general direction}.

Two hour drive for parts for work. Top down on the way to Marlborough. Went back to the comfort of AC on the way home.
