Put another bike rack for my sons bike, who is becoming a great mtn biker. Then went for an afternoon drive before the snow arrivers. These cars are great fun....

@ipman - maybe 6 dedicated hours over four days. Just used a hair dryer to heat the surface slightly, then peeled with my fingers. Had to stop after a couple hours each day because of blisters on my fingers from the tacky side of the clear bra peeling up my skin.

@mrtoro - love it! I took my son to Valmont bike park today ahead of the snow too

Happy to connect for 996 a double....drive and a ride. Headed to sports garage in your neck of the woods for a tune up of my mtn bike next week.

Drove it for the first time since replacing the coolant reservoir tank back at the beginning of the month, which sucked. Took 7-8 hours over a couple days here and there. Car seems to run better and build boost faster now, which tells me something on the vacuum side of the engine on the driver's side (probably when they replaced the diverters) was not fully connected.

Some of you may remember I bought mine cheap, as in $35K cheap. The up-side is I got a great deal (*back in June), but the down side, besides swapping the broken front diff with the one the seller provided, was the added list of maintenance items the previous owner ignored, like the plugs and coil packs, and the coolant tank. All of which he had to know was coming "due". Fortunately I do much of my own work, so it's fine, but just shows the wide range of "love" given to these cars.

Washed mine and racked it for the winter. Put the stock wheels on because I plan on getting my BBS wheels refinished this winter. Mad scramble to put the snow wheels/tires on the Cayenne and my DD Golf R, plus winterize the lawn.

Super jealous of people with high ceiling garages.

If you put down "winterizer" fertilizer at the end of the season your lawn looks great in the spring

I also got in a pre-snowstorm ride in Ken Caryl Ranch... Though I confess I use the F150 to haul my bikes rather than the Turbos.

It's an electric bike, so riding back uphill wasn't too much of a strain
