Pulling the long-tube headers off of my '96 Corvette, replacing with the factory manifolds & cats and adding a catback chambered exhaust system. Vroom. I may replace the MAF in my 911, as well, and get rid of check-engine lights for both cars.

1) Condolences on 911 Crazy's loss
2) Thinking that the people Autocrossing and PCA Sunday event are having the most fun.
3) Drinking too much Tequila
4) Replacing my spark plugs and coils. 2 down. That 3rd upper side coil hex is a son of a biatch and is laughing at me, which only strengthens my resolve. He will get loose, he will.
5) Going to fire up my newly plugged and coiled 911 X51 and go, ohhh, 100 miles per hour, or so, above the speed limit. (Don't tell my mom).
6) Make that one call allowed by law to a neighbor to bail me out.

Aaaargh. The perils of living in Canada mean that its about 24 degrees and the Porsche hibernation continues. I am gagging to get out there and hand wash, clay (first time ever), polish and wax my 4-week old C4.

So, instead, I'll Rennlist for an hour then run down to the weekly P-car lunch and hang out with the guys.

Nothing really Pcar related. Doing a little side work in front of the computer right now that will hopefully turn into a new and profitable business venture. Then going to drop the kid off with the grandparents for the night and fiance and I are going for a night on the town with another couple. May take the family to the mountains tomorrow in the Pcar which is usually enjoyable.
