I had ignition coils #2, 3, 5, and 6 replaced (#1 and 4 were done earlier under warranty). Also had the annual maintenance routine done so I'm good till end of summer. Have been lucky to drive it every week throughout our nearly snowless winter. Garaged it with exactly 74K miles on the odo.

Ordered a Porsche Short Shift Kit on Friday. It is my wife's birthday present to me (and my Porsche)! It should arrive on Wednesday, but I will be out of town for two days, so I will install it next weekend.

Referring to the last shots--'clock' your emblems. Have them justified to the valve!

But if you spin the wheels, you just have to do it again!

I put my GTS up on 4 jack stands and replaced all for rotors, installed new Pagid pads for the track, flushed the brake fluid, did some cleaning under the car and put a coat of wax on.

I walked past her like I have for the last week. Seriously getting withdrawal symptoms and I think she thinks I'm having an affair.

I've been using the Jeep the last week because of the thunderstorms and rain in Houston. I don't mind getting her wet but I don't want to test that she can float.

I went to Brazos Bend at the weekend in the Jeep as I wasn't sure what the parking would be like there. That was a mistake the roads would have been fun in the Porsche. Also went kiteboarding in the Jeep, didn't want to put a stinking and wet wet suite in the car.

So.... your answer to the question "What did you do to your Porsche today?" would be.... nothing!

Fair point, pining for it doesn't count Weather was dry last night so went to girlfriends. Driving back in rush hour traffic this morning in the Porsche wasn't fun. I'll take the Jeep next time. The Porsche just seems to attract the idiots in Houston traffic. What is it with people here
(1) overtaking me when I'm trying to merge
(2) riding my ****
(3) overtaking into the gap I've already indictated (2 seconds before) my intention to move into.

No falkin patience and does driving have to be a competition?
