Thanks! I'm not especially concerned about people not liking cabriolets. I like it, and that's what matters. The same is true for brown. That's the beauty of Porsches; there's a butt for every seat. The cab top is cocoa brown and the interior is sand beige. I attached a few more photos from earlier today.

My symptoms were a high pitch squeal. It sounded as if the belt tensioner was malfunctioning. When looking online, most of the time, this high-pitched squeal is associated with an air oil separator failure. To determine if it's a belt tensioner or the air oil separator, you try to remove the oil cap with the engine is running. If you can't remove the oil cap, then the problem is the air oil separator. You can't remove the oil cap due to the increased vacuum that is created within the engine due to the air oil separator failure.

Thanks. Found this online. It's a 996. Assume it's accurate for 997 as well?

Washed it and detailed the wheels. Drove it Nascar(rookie) like traffic to and from work.

Tom,
When do we get to see pics of the Ferrari California? I'm intrigued by the color combination.
