I like the license plate.
But it has lots of meanings.
I read it and though "Infiniband."
But that only makes sense if you're in IT.

I had to run a couple wires around behind the A/C control to piggy back onto the door lock button for the switch lighting since there were no other switches on the left side. I couldn't have it be the only unlit switch.

Thanks!

I've only ever known the scientific/technology meaning. Storage can be low latency, as can networks. I figure a naturally aspirated 996 is low latency (throttle response) too.

I was a Storage Area Network administrator many years ago that use low-latency fiber channel.
More recently I built high performance clusters that required low-latency Infiniband for reservoir simulation on Linux & Windows HPC.
I also knew a doctor years ago who was into low latency investing.
He made and lost a BUNCH of money.

Is that thing turbo-charged?

Turns out there wasn't a nail in my tire after all. Apparently the bead had a very slow leak. Wonder if the wife rubbed against a curb...

They do that when they don't get enough attention at home.

I replaced the headlight switch. After I was done, I opened up the old one to see what broke. It's junk!!!!!!! I guess they use really cheap plastic. The plastic piece right behind the switch just fell apart. The rest of the switch including the rest of plastic parts were like new. Oh well, at least it's easy to replace.

The car is pretty clean, but changed the cabin filter and found this, yikes. No mice in my garage, but I think a P.O had a friend living in theirs for a short period. Luckily I’ve been into the car pretty well over the past couple of years and found no other traces of visitors...

That's a lot of stuff! I've changed mine only twice in eight years and both times they looked almost like new.
