Lowered the spring rate on Blackie. Feels softer around town but better overall control. . Need a highway to confirm. This morning I'll look for the boost leak on the RS4 and bleed the coolant on the 944. Maybe hit the beach in the afternoon.

Well, one last AWD early morning run into the office, next week, should be quite a different beast.

Thank you.

Something had to give; I had no interest in growing into a gelatinous blob (or, at least more of a blob than I already was), and I knew that there was no way I'd do it after work, so early mornings it has been for the last 3 years 8 months.

I'm building a gym in my basement and I'm still not sure I could get up at 4am to go...

It is surprisingly easy once you get into a routine; I just replaced 'beer time' with 'sleep time'.

That doesn't sound easy at all!

Friday morning hot laps!

My 2001 996 Turbo is still my weapon of choice for casual track days.... Just the right combo of power, handling, challenge to get each corner right, and guilt-free track miles!

Nice, are you running the 615s at the track?

I'm noticing the 660s ride a little rougher.
