Hey, I resemble that remark.

Therefore, I imagine Corvette owners with Air Monarchs.

Got my headlights back from the paint shop and installed new headlight washers to top them off.

The lenses still aren't perfect, as there's some marring on the inside of the lens, but considering how bad they looked before, I'm happy.

All those cars were fixed, the Corrado did in two deer by itself. Yes, it's a VR6.

Did bi annual oil change before putting away for the winter. Used 5w-50, had 900 miles on it, looked pretty clean.
Found MAF was bad after removing Cobb/tune, swapped it out with Bremi.

Very nice. Is that a residential garage or a shop?

I cleaned up my calipers and tried to touch up some chips with Dupli-Color caliper paint but the red is too dark.

Sweet. I do some light fab in my garage but have to weld in the driveway under a tarp when it's hot. I would kill for a proper shop.

That's awesome. I wanted a lathe badly but the prices went up on them and with the Turbo in the garage now I don't have much room. I have a 220V outlet handy I installed for my welder but it's not in the cards at the moment.

I haven't done much fabricating as of late; machined a juicer nozzle down for my Little Brother - the Porsche is not the same as dare I say, 'cheaper' cars, however, I have been thinking about doing a PCCB upgrade to 380mm rotors, at which point I would machine some new carriers.

Funny how life gets in the way of things.
