Gave it a bit of exercise with generous usage of Sport and Sport+ modes, in order to get ready for the bbq run next week.

I washed it, clayed it and started doing a very thorough paint correction.
The front bumper, both front fenders, trunk lid and roof have been polished (Meguiars 105/205) and sealed with Collinite 485. It is so smooth that it slips out of your hands.
I will try to finish doors and rear fenders during the week. I am very happy with the results.

What a good eye! The SuperSix was my first real bike. I have loved thru many miles. The red bike is a Colnago CLX that is smooth and relaxed. The wheel you can see in the other door is from a Cannondale EVO. Porsches are not my only obsession!

Oil Change
First oil change since purchasing my 997.2. Was very straightforward. Easy to do. Hardest part was realizing the oil filter wrench I ordered was not correct. Got the correct one on the way so I can properly torque the cover to 19lbs. Did not need to jack up the car but I did put the rear tires up on a thickness of 2x6 lumber, just to give me a little wiggle room. Added back 8 qts exactly and it's about one large segment low still BUT, I'll wait until one more short drive and check it again.
Newspaper is so I can share oil change dates with potential buyer or dealer down the road (or proof a CPO work challenge). Better be safe than sorry

I added tail LED's by Depo/Dectane and dipped my wheels.
I wasn't sure what color wheels to get so plasti-dip is a great way to test it out. I knew I wanted a darker gray color such as anthracite or gun metal. I knew I definitely did not want black. This is black with silver metailizer. Still letting to set but I think I'm close.

Obsessions
Cannondale Supersix and Lightspeed C1 here ... wonder if the TT would look good with a roof rack.

Took my car to it's yearly oil service at Parkhaus1 in Miami. 5800 miles since the last one.
Great guys to deal with. Highly recommended. Not to mention the beauties they have all over the place...
