Just an oil change on my 2007 S. Took a sample to send to Blackstone for my first analysis.

Cool. Pay the extra to get the TAN & TBN then post up the results and we'll take a look.

Oil and filter yesterday.

Today, ran it through an automatic car wash (gasp!). Not something I ordinarily do, but it was filthy, and I was short on time. Came out OK. I was able to touch it up with some quick wax afterwards, and touch up the wheels.

New plate went on. Took an hour drive with a lull in the lousy winter weather today
and basked in the joy of being in Pennsylvania's newest City of Champions!

Ordered getty ducktail, can't wait to put it on. Curious to see how it will look like with the SC front lip.

They usually keep a little from the original sample for a short period after just in case they need to reanalyze something. You could probably call them up or reply to the message they send you with the report and they could add it. Or you could just do it next time.

I am amazed that the wide tires fit in the car wash tracks. I would have bet against that working.

A much needed wash and a light interior detail.

Cleaned the wheels inside & out. Then I got to clean the insides again after all the rusty rotor crud sprayed all over them when I drove it around the block. Ughh!

I treated the leather on my steering wheel with Leatherique (a company out of Aiken, SC makes the product). It is a two step process. The first step is to rub in the "Rejuvinator" into the leather. You can do this with any leather in your car. It works incredibly well on seats. This step forces out dirt and grime. You let is sit for a number of hours (it is actually better to do this on a warm day and let it bake in). Second step is to apply the "Pristine Clean" with a soft cloth. You let that stand for several minutes and then wipe/buff with a clean, soft cloth. I like this product because it makes the leather look like new. It removes some of the shiny patina you get on leather after a while (which is really just the dirt and junk in the leather). Not sure if you can see the benefits from my picture, but pleased with the outcome. Check this product out for all of your leather in the car (only pushing it since it works so well.. not an investor ).

Just picked up my car from Aker's Porsche - Had 60K service done along with alternator and tie rod replacement.
Per PPI, in 3 weeks will be replacing LR axle seal which is leaking and both engine coil heat shields which are rusted.

Got caught in some nasty weather when the wife and I were in Austin. A quick washup fixed that when we got home
