Default Just washed the car...

It's 66 degrees F outside and not a cloud in the sky on January 1 in Northern CA. Crazy. Good time to wash the car though. Happy New Year everyone.

Been in the 70s this weekend. Wound up washing the car--first time in a month. And after pulling the wheels off, decided it was time for 4 new tires. Put those on the car on Saturday, along with new TPMS senders, and I'm good to go again!

Dr. Strange - nice color combo! Looks great!
Got 3 washed in Omaha the last couple days - no snow and temps 10 to 20 above normal. Gotta love it.

It's about 19 and blowing the snow around like crazy here in WI. The 997 is tucked away clean, but will get slopped up tomorrow on the way in to work.

I envy you folks in warm climates!

I bought mine in Princeton NJ and drove it back to Omaha - a fun 20 hour drive!!! CPO'd with 13.9k on it when I picked it up. 15.2k on it when I got it home.

Anyone know how you can find out how many of a certain color combo that Porsche produced in a given year for a given market? I know you can get a COA, etc., but that doesn't show any stats about a given model.

There are no stats on colors and color combinations. Keep in mind that you are talking about 65-70 pages of options, so virtually no two cars are ever the same.

I thought it was more like 90 pages of options!!! I was just thinking of color combos, without regard to options. Yes, I've never seen two cars exactly the same, which I think is pretty cool.
