Default 996 out of hibernation!

996 saw the light of day (ok dusk) for the first time since november today. Just fired it up. Next week it gets new rubber and an oil cange, than the fun begins.
All this rain has cleaned up the roads and so far the weather is better!

Hope I did not just tick off the weather gods for tons of March snow

anyways, it felt good! 86 911 gets serviced and ready for spring after the 996.

Porsche fever is burning!

I would think an oil change before putting the car to bed over the off season would be preferred.

Sincerely,

I think the police rate the cost of a ticket by adding a hundred or two to how much your set of tires cost. That's what they are checking out when standing at the rear of the car. Then they go back to their car and look up the prices.

Anyway glad to see there is more fresh meat for the men in blue to make better odds for us.

Enjoy the cruising and plan ahead for potholeless roads.
