I bought this from Walmart. It extends out probably a good 3 feet or so (the skinny part retracts into the larger part of the wand when you turn it off) and the spray tip is moveable so you can have it pointing straight up while the wand is parallel to the ground.

I've heard some manufacturers will void the warranty if you undercoat, not sure if Porsche is one of them though.

Probably no worse than if you're drying your rotors with a leaf blower :-)

I like this - now if only it had a soap dispenser attachment to really work the dirt off

I was out in the C4S today...didn't put it away officially and have the winter tires on it, but I've mostly used the co car when it's been messy or salty, which has been a lot this year. It was good to get out and play a bit!

Bring it Ken. I don't think I have ever seen a Porsche with that colour.

Was out today for a bit...a few puddles at 10km/h. Other than that it was great!

That looks like a real tight fit for the storage lift, and did you have to special order the garage doors to make sure it goes all the way to the ceiling?

Planning to Arni, you'd better bring yours!

Got it started tonight to check fluid levels, pump down the tire pressure, everything appears to be working fine.

I do need to do something about the wiper blades as the original ones are not working as well as they should, bought a pair from Auto Zone last year, tried to put them on today and come to the conclusion there is no way the adaptors with the new blades would work, the old ones won't either due to different diameter of the pivot pins in the wiper blade......

You guys are killing me!. For some reason once March came I have been itching to get the car out. Probably the end of March for me.

Yeah it's mine. I have two 4 post lifts. About $3-4k per side installed depending on options.

Not too tight...still a few feet up top. The garage doors are std. The trick is in the opener. You need to use a wall mounted jack shaft opener and run the track straight up to the ceiling. If your ceilings are high enough the garage door goes more up than back.
