I couldn't help myself. I have to have one of Jake's motors. Hopefully getting started in early December. I can't wait, and I will certainly let everyone know just how great it is.

I should have said in MY 2001 Boxster S, since my avatar has a 996. I just got this wing and really like it. I was changing the oil yesterday and shot this picture. i normally take lousy pictures, but even I couldn't mess this up.

To ready myself for the fallout I could get from the wifey I had to circle the wagons. Oil change days at my house require a lot of planning

Yeah, a green Park Avenue. I sort of hid it I thought. It was one of my Dad's cars. He passed away last year and I inherited it and a couple of the others. I haven't sold anything yet. I really need to get rid of some of them as I can't drive them enough to keep the fluids moving. Insurance is eating me alive too.

Yeah Im going all out with the performance engine, but opting for the high torque concentration, rather than high RPM, high HP version. I believe torque is more important for the way I drive the car than max HP would be. Either way would be great. I still have the 996, so I could go the other way on it down the road.
