Default What are YOU doing this weekend?

Already excited about Memorial Day Weekend!

1) New clear side markers are arriving from Suncoast tomorrow. Goodbye pumpkins!

2) Stopped by NAPA autoparts for a new ignition switch ($10) since mine is toast. I have an extended warranty but it looks like a simple DIY and, well, I just want to do it myself.

3) Detailed and waxed last weekend so when I am done, top will be down and it will actually be under 100 degrees out here this weekend so long, strong drives will be in order.

4) Raise a glass to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for all of us.

How about you?

I may fix my radiator fan resistor. Other than that I may throw some food on the grill and get some MD crabs.

I do miss being in Myrtle Beach during this weekend.

My Porsche will be rolling over the 100,000 mile mark, so I will be treating it ( & myself) to a return trip up Hwy 1 to the central coast of CA.

Hopefully getting out to HPR this weekend (Friday-Monday if you can believe that). I had one of my other drivers fly down to AST with my shocks. He successfully un-fubared them. Just wait til you all see the pictures.... The bumpers are getting painted fluorescent red, the wheels are now painted gold (I just couldn't stand that god-awful red one more minute), the accu-s*** is removed from the car......
