Changed the oil and washed car today...

Went out to do some valentines day shopping for the misses and made a quick pit stop to take a couple pictures...

I may be too paranoid for my own good but I try to avoid running over drain grates anywhere.

They tend to collect nails, screws, etc. that rain water (or in some places plant watering water overflow) washes down to the grate but then these objects get hung up and don't go in the drain proper.

They just lay around the border of the drain grate waiting for a nice Porsche tire to puncture.

Car does look might nice.

Sincerely,

Macster.

Just trying to get ivangene's goose....no it was the regular $90 oil change 10qts MOBIL 1 0-40 and OEM filter, 9.3qts in, .7 on reserve.

Its more expensive to be cheap with certain things.


This isnt my first porsche and isnt my last.....Im quite nurotic when it comes to my cars.
