Default Warm weather is here!!

Finally took off the winter tires and rubber. I washed the 996 and put the Champions back on.

Bring on the warm weather!!

Note the chunk I took out of my spoiler lip on ice in my driveway last month..

..yeah, obviously you've not seen the snow in my yard... I get the car out for a few days and all hell breaks lose in the snow department. I'm hoping for a thaw so that I can get the car back out later in the week.

It hit 70 again yesterday. That weather is probably headed your way.

You have one great car Ray! Thanks for sharing the pics.

I had my first "top down" ride for the season today. Oh I'm loving it!

Ray - nice pics of a great looking car. Thanks for posting them.

I guess I don't remember ever seeing pics of your 996. I get used to seeing your avatar with a red P-car (I know it's a 986) so I always inagine you with a red 996. If I go back and check all of your posts and don't see any previous pics posted by you.... there is going to be HELL to pay!

BTW - where in the Blue Hell is Dell? Is he still hanging out with the GT3 boys?

Triathlon shape... so what is your tri-ride? I ride a Kuota Kalibur. I like to think of it as the RS Spyder of bicycles. Lots of carbon and light weight alloys, great aerodynamics, if only the engine were up to proper specs

Check out the "Show us your 996" thread you'll find my pics in there (sans rear wing).

I think Dell's been busy giving the GT3 guys new tire reports.
