Good tip tomc_mets

Will check this out next time I visit my local Porsche pusher...

Put it away for the winter. Moth ***** underneath; dryer sheets inside; clean outside and inside, inside also with leather treatment on the leather. Fresh oil; full tank good gas with Stabil added; added a container of moisture absorbent to keep the inside dry. Trickle charger on a disconnected battery, and a car cover (hood not latched all the way, obviously!). Wipe away tears, then drive off in the Mustang GT and remember how much I love that car too! Life ain't too bad;-)

I've done this when storing my boat before with the vinyl interior, but heard that it can actually extract moisture from leather seats, prematurely aging or drying them out - not sure, but thought I'd mention it.

Hmm, good point. I just started doing that this year. Maybe I'll pull it out. The other stuff, I've been doing for years and never had a problem with critters or other damage. Thanks for the thought Pete.

Dropped mine off at the local indy for:
1) Installation of the Function-First Shifter Cable End upgrade (trying to improve the shift into 1st problem)
2) Oil/Filter change. I supplied the Motul.
3) Brake/Clutch fluid flush

Installed the hardtop, ending summer's warm weather and top down driving.

I just finished powder coating my Champion RG5s with the new gloss black and red. These wheels were previously silver and I just didn't care for the look.We hit a very good match with the guards red. Also just finished installing 997.2 intercoolers and had Kevin with UMW build a 93 octane tune. BTW Kevin is as good as everyone says.

Gave her some exercise with a group of great cars. The fog was brief. Fantastic roads and drivers.

Thanks and kudos to Joe for organizing a great morning.
