Default Climate buttons, TPMS

Plasti-dipped the climate buttons over the weekend. Did this a few years ago on my 987. Also had new TPMS sensors installed - glad to get rid of those warning lights. Tried to install LAPower bluetooth/USB kit but had some problems with powering it up. Having a shop look at it tomorrow.

Default Issue finally fixed

After 45 days and countless tests, switches, new handles and various other vodoo spells, my ride is finally locking and unlocking like a normal car should. Had a paint correction done and a few dings taken out (not in that order) and Mother Nature cooperated for a few hours so I took her 180 miles through some farms in Amishville PA. Such a great car......happy to have her back. [img]blob:https://rennlist.com/fa41c332-909f-4a3c-9103-7f8f7c19473a[/img]

Had a fantastic drive to work this morning, found my way onto the extra long way to the office.

Brisk morning but clear and dry air, the near full moon still shining through the bare trees and some streams of smoke wafting though the valley along the rail trail

Nothing beats the sound of the exhaust notes reverberating though the shallow walls of the cuts and fills of the tight valleys of the rolling hills of south central PA

Sometimes they just get it...I think this sums up what your wife was observing

​​​​​​​nah.. washing is fine.. But you don't have center caps on your wheels
Mine hasn't been washed in months though. I'd rather drive than wash the car :P

I once saw a guy hauling a TREE with his older TARGA. This is nothing compared to that!

And what did I do with mine? I drove it, because we can out west! And took a picture.

Spacers improve stance nicely. Do you need to have an alignment done after installing spacers?
