I just bought a SeaSucker rack for my new bike! The bike is a Cannondale SuperX SE, from my LBS
The rack will hold two bikes, but I had to buy an adapter for the 12mm through axle for my new pumpkin, and I'll need to buy a 15mm adapter if I buy the MTB that I have my eye on...
This is with the front of the SeaSucker rack on my windshield
Here's the rack, just behind the sunroof, and the spoiler raised. This is going to work!

Replaced the passenger window gasket on my 2007 997.1 C2S. https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/9X7RUBS.html
I've been given advice both for and against it solving the water on the door carpet issue. I have done tests with a hose and it clearly was leaking. I have not done a hose test yet but a spray bottle test showed it clearly no longer absorbing thru. If it works I'll replace the drivers side too. Expensive little buggers.
Oh and I got a couple of the garments that go under the air intake box. Sits much more snug.
I also ordered a new front bumper, even with sanding my didn't look like it would come out like I would like on a re-spray. I'll work on the old one and prime it and sell it, being clear that it isn't perfect.

Sport Design Steering Wheel
In my opinion, there's nothing that makes a pre-owned car feel new again more than a fresh looking/feeling/smelling leather steering wheel. Ever since I purchased my CPO 997.2 C2S back in June, I've been lusting after the sport design paddle steering wheel.
I snagged a great deal on a new wheel from eBay last week and just received it tonight. It was installed within 30 minutes.
What a difference the paddle wheel makes for the driving experience!

^ Now that's more like it. 3+ years later, I still remember driving mine home like it was yesterday. You will too. Drive it like you stole it.

Just wiped off a weeks worth of insect carcasses from the front of my car after a 5 day 1500 mi road trip. We went from San Jose to Palm Springs then Las Vegas. From Vegas we went to the Hoover Dam then Red Rock Canyon, Death Valley and stopped in Mammoth Lakes. We finished yesterday through Yosemite taking CA 120, which is a fantastic road, to 580...

Fantastic colors on that trip. Perfect weather. Lots of fun and great company.
Unfortunately the pictures are on my phone and most are over the 5 meg limit. But here are a few.

Depending on what type of phone you use (iPhone or Android) and how you back up your photos, there may be a fairly easy way to convert them. I'm an android guy and have Google Photos back-up all my device photos. You can access the backup via your PC without manually syncing the phone, and download them to your PC via a simple interface - if downloading more than 1, it compresses and zips the folder, buy you can just select them all in the zipped folder and drag them out to another, and then they're regular unzipped picture files. There's also a very good PC program I use called Fotosizer that lets you drag and drop a whole bunch of pictures into the interface, set the size you want them reduced to, the target folder you want them stored in, and it will resize the whole batch in one shot, very quickly.
