Absolutely nothing, my car has been in my garage since Dec1, 2019 waiting for spring to arrive in Michigan. Today it is overcast with a high of 38degrees. However when I returned from my daily walk, I opened the garage door , suddenly saw my car and with a big grin on my face I thought " I actually own a Porsche 911, I'm one lucky son of a bitch!"

This is the 'Ferrari Tower' in the Delta south of Sacramento.





Where in the heck is that inquiring minds would like to know maybe part of a day trip in the future.

@Skyhawk172 here's the link on Google Maps. Ferrari Tower

Just off the South 5. A few nice wineries (when they're open) and some nice quiet roads.

Washed it for the first time in a month in prep for a short drive to a doc appt. Just getting garage grime off. I live on the coast about 20 miles from the hospital I need to visit. Take a 2 lane road over the hill. I was thinking of taking a longer route south, over the hill by Alice's, but decided to go the more direct route.

I'm deployed for a bit, but got a text and photo from my wife that she had taken Greta out "for a play date."

Brought it to UCC north of Boston for correction and ceramic. Not surprising needed two step on the correction.




This is before ceramic. I’ll post pics when it’s done. I’m also replacing the stone guards with mat black ones from suncoast.
