Redmond exotics car show. I showed up and was lucky enough to park next to the car on my left.

Changed my headlights over so I can drive on the wrong side of the road in Europe, which incidentally is the right side.
When I say changed them over, I don't mean swapped left and right. There is a switch inside of the RHD lights so you change them to drive on the continent. Is it the same for a LHD car?

neanicu - I went with the Kenwood DNX 6980 head unit, an Alpine Amp, Hertz 3 way and Hertz 4" coaxial, as well as a replacement sub box. Sounds so much better, and I now have satellite radio, built in nav, a connection for the ipod, hands free bluetooth, etc... I resisted for some time, but glad I finally made the upgrade.

I want to stay with the Bose speakers and sub though...I really hate everything aftermarket(except quality products that are better than OEM),but when it comes to replacing the Porsche unit,I wouldn't want some flip up display colored in bright red with disco flashing lights. I want a unit that looks like it came with the car. Not easy to find...
Some pictures of yours turned on would really help! Thanks.

Drove home from Austin with the top down. 90 pretty much the whole way. Radar detector never even chirped The weather was brilliant, but I forgot to put on sunscreen and got a little burnt.
The really pathetic part is I keep sunscreen in the car.

I drove my Turbo this evening for the first time since last Sunday. It felt very nice, awesome in fact. Almost like I'd never driven one before. I'm glad I have it!

Finally got a chance to go out yesterday. Absolutely beautiful evening for the top to be down, and drove through the canyon during the solar eclipse. Special indeed.

Did an oil change yesterday at about 3700 miles. Drained all 4 plugs and vacuumed out the filter housing. Cut open the filter - didnt see any particles - zip - 
Filled it up w Delvac 5W-40 ESP. Took it for a ride to warm it up and check for leaks. Got back to my garage and saw the fill gauge was at max. Fearing I overfilled it a bit, I vacuumed out an 1/8th with the Pela and re-checked. Found I was now down an 1/8th......
