Unlike Wayne - I'm embracing "The Dirty Frog" look - last night, I came out to find someone had spelled WASH ME! on my decklid hahaha - these kids today... - I've decided to leave it on there for a minute because it's actually pretty funny.
Drove up and over the mountain before work this morning - we had a washout on a particularly epic stretch of canyon on the 1, which has actually made the road fantastic: Since the closure, the tourist perception is that the road doesn't 'go anywhere' anymore, so no one drives on it. It's pretty much both lanes all yours out and back - save for a few other Porsches and motorcycles who have also discovered this wonderful phenomenon.
(word to the locals: I have seen CHP patrolling the route in pairs - so keep your eyes up.)
and a couple pix from the morning run -
BlueChip - your car looks fantastic all clean! - I may have to wash mine this week! hahaha - In the meantime still loving the new headers, and tune - looking into the DSC box by TPC Racing, as well as the Eibach pro-kit and some sways. Maybe first week of January... let's see what happens.
Also, I do like those plasti-dipped wheels with the white porsche lettering on the throwinbombs turbo. I'm not traditionally a black-wheel lover, but the matte finish looks slick with the white lettering. Very cool!
Gave her a proper cleaning. Picture is from Nov. when she underwent a restorative detail by The Last Detail in Las Vegas. So incredibly easy to maintain perfected paint, wheels, plastics etc once everything has been sealed. Gotta love Opti-Coat, does wonders even with over 60k miles on the odo!

Hi Comanche_699,
Thanks for liking the Plasti Dip on the wheels.
Beautiful drive before a work day, awesome you get that!
Merry Christmas to you and the entire Rennlist Forum
Installed new speedster type black stone guards to replace my 2 year old yellowing clear ones. Bought them on eBay for $35. I was a little hesitant to do it myself at first but after a local guy quoted $310 (??!!?? I had paid about $120 for guards and installation about 2 years ago) to install them for me I went ahead and just did it myself. Not a bad process at all and I really didn't have any issues with bubbles. So far I like the look.
I was let off the leash (tongue firmly in cheek, sweetheart!) and pointed the 997 south and north (with a let's do the Eucalyptus stretch one more time!) on CA 1 just north of SF.
I ran into a "Dirty Frog" (aka Comanche_699's beautiful-Cab-which-makes-all-other-vehicles-sound-like-a-Prius...yup, mine also!) and we had a blast north and then up Inverness Ridge!
Not much time for pics but here are a few...make it a fine last week of 2014 and best wishes for a healthy, peaceful, prosperous and many enjoyable ticks on the ODO 2015!
That was blast David, and a toast to Joe & his GTS in-absentia - we thought of you Joe, and our solution for "The Spontaneity Problem" is we think you should just move up here!
Meantime, I bathed the dirty ol' frog & picked up a new helmet & balaclava at the Wine Country Motorsports sale yesterday.
