Don't think you need to be a boomer, maybe attend some bigger car shows...?

Which tri states? Kennewick, or somewhere else?

Yeah I think it is area dependent. I see more older ones and brand new ones than the "middle aged" ones (996/997) around here. Older gentleman used to daily a red 993TT to the office back when we still went to office regularly, loved to see it.

Last time I saw a 993 Turbo on a road Eddie Van Halen was driving it and I was following him.

Ok Boomer!

Old money folk seem to like Porsches.

Thanks. Nothing in my cart is on sale unfortunately. I have not used my PCA discount this year yet though.

Can anyone help recommend which particular Bosch wiper blades of the 6 or 7 choices(!) that are plug and play for our 22" sized blades

Also need a set of "hood struts", as I've made the "mistake" of buying the cheap Taiwanese/Asian made, and they last about 6 +/- months - so OEM on those two? or another brand like URO or something. Other than my newly installed paper air filter element, I cannot remember buying anything in a Porsche "box" in some time, if ever!. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Installed a new battery today. We have a cold front coming in so it's windy but the humidity dropped. I reset the TPS and cleared the TCU via Durametric.

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Thanks! I saw those and admit don't understand how they work but they look expensive. What is overwhelming in choice(s) is there are about 5 or 6 different ones for our cars and I don't know what I'm replacing except Bosch!
