Default I decided to keep her...and gave her new Techarts

Well, as many of you know I was selling my 911 and was on the lookout for a turbo. I was inundated with emails and offers and at the end of the day, I was not ready to spend 20-40k more just for more speed. The turbos that were sub 70k were IMHO not nearly as sharp as mine non-trbo.

That...and I just had to dump 20k in the crane lifting a new hot tub to my roof. So I gave her some new shoes for the stress and abuse...Car looks even better now!

Good move! Looks good and you know what you're getting into with your own car vs new unknowns with a discounted TT.

Hot tub on the roof, go figure. I visit a customer in the Merchandise Mart every few months - do you live over that way?

Good call on the turbo....

The rims look awesome - I'm thinking about something like that for my car - do you mind if I ask where you bought them?
