Default this just never ends

the RS is all done.
today, wash wax 996gt3
change new front pads, flip rear pads for even wear
tires dead... drive rim/tire to shop to get them mounted.
flush brakes
might as well change oil while it's on stands....

no wonder my lower back is always in pain.....

enjoy.

i still have no DIGITAL cam (this coming from someone who spent tons of $$$ on SLR, you know, the non digital stuff: FM2, FE2, M6, F3HP etc), but the iPhone is quite something. even i figured out how to use one. love it.

John,

That's an awesome pic with Mia.

This reminds me of Melissa. I was taking her to her grade school in my Lexus SC300, 5-speed. She would work the shifters while I worked the pedals. She would not let me shift.

Needless to say, she learned to drive manual at age 15.5, and claimed the SC 300 as her own on her 16th birthday.

Knowing you though, I don't see you keeping the RS till Mia turns 16.

Enjoy, they are precious. Oh yeah, the daughter is precious too.
