This car can do that at even higher speed. I can only imagine yours with the X73! These ricers don't know who they're messin' with...

I know. 40 is nothing. The tires don't even make a good scrubbing noise.

I installed the EBay fixed wing solution for my leaky hydraulics. Great kit and great designer (Jack)!

Then I brought the car to a GTG that I set up at a great local restaurant.

Love my 996TT.

Next step is full TLC on interior leather.

Dock- I know the feeling. It's been a week myself, and I'm trying to make time here today just for a drive. My excuse will be to go to Home Depot which is 2 miles away; but can wind up taking 1-2 hours!

Gave the motor a good clean up. Ready for testing my new Dodo Juice kit coming this week . Can't wait to try it. Atlas Grey is a really hard color to look after....

Drove it to the beach,found a good place to wash it along the way....touch less. Came out nice,but they didn't dry off the engine area like I do and when I started it the belt made a couple of whining noises. I opened the engine lid and there was plenty of water there.
On my way back I got caught in heavy rain. I parked it in the garage and I checked again...there was still water from the rain but it dried off right away because the engine was hot. I did notice water by the air filter,it looked soaked. I wonder if so much water is supposed to get in there when you drive it in heavy rain?

Drove mine today to pick up dry-cleaning. Bad idea as those little hangers only hold a few shirts. I ended up just stacking them up on the passenger seat.

Gave it it's Spring cleaning on Saturday. Full detail inside and out.

Then me and Mrs. SSST went for a spirited top down drive on some lightly traveled twisty counry roads.

Drove it yesterday for the first time in a while. I'm still waiting for it to warm up some to begin outpatient surgery on it.
