Simple, drove it. It spends far too much time in the garage, and I'm going to try to change that. Life is too short. Every time I get in it I tell myself I can't ever sell it.

Default Bovee1000

Quick wash, then installed Bovee1000 unit.
Hillarously simple plug & play.

Plug & play, yes that easy.

Same setup here. Works like a charm.

Nothing to special today. Replaced the driver's side door handle axle. Used the original cable as posted here on RL. Works like new and no more rattling floppy door handle. Took about an hour and broke 3 door clips. Glad I bought those too.

Motor mounts this weekend. My tail pipes are hanging a bit low these days and I can feel the **** shifting around on me.

Took my visiting father-in-law for a drive this morning through the Santa Monica mountains and along PCH to Malibu. Great bonding time and always fun to wind out the 3.8 with no traffic.

Drove to work this morning, Plan to stop for a quick fill up and car wash on the way home at the end of the day.

Enjoying my ride.

Red face

I looked at a picture of it on my laptop like a sailor drooling over a pic of his love while stationed overseas

-15 last night and a foot and a half of snow on the ground here in Toronto and shes been locked up in hibernation since late October. Can't wait to crack the storage unit doors open hopefully in late April and get her cleaned up for late May providing they repair a majority of the potholes here quickly in the spring. Holes here the size of large dogs here right now everywhere ..... Roads are probably better in Iraq than here .... You guys are killing me from California with the all year driving and scenic drives .... If Trump would let me in I would make the move !!!

On my 2012 997.2 I do not have the Ipod USB adapter. Can you order that adapter from them, or is this a Porsche part I need to have first that uses the Ipod and USB port together. Very cool.

It was a factory option on 997.2. It can be retrofitted but I don't believe it'll be worth the cost.

o'bluetouring - did you have to remove the front bumper to install those? Looks great!

Thanks!! No bumper removal is not required for 997.2 grilles from Zunsport. These are held by clips that hook to the backside of the bumper openings.

Today I got a letter from the DOL that my personalized plate was approved....
'VISCERL'

It is all about that feeling deep down inside that you can't deny....
