Sorry to hear about the rain in the house. I walked into my garage this evening and it said 105. Any relief would be beneficial. Nice move with the lighter color.

@Purist It took me longer than planned, but I finally made the time to full detail and ceramic coat the E92. Between being a white car and photos, it doesn't really show up but over the last two weekends I've been giving some love to the exterior of the M3. First came a rinse and iron...

@kppolich I may fill in some, but the bar closest to the garage doors moves forward, as the lift goes up, and isn't high enough to clear the tile in the center. The section closest to the back wall could be filled in but only partially. Doing that would leave it "floating" as it wouldn't be...

I like the all weather floor mat. And mini man is getting into all the spots. (y)

PSA moment of true first world problems. Saturday I spent 7 hours trying to get into the 911. While my 4 1/2 year old battery wasn't dead (and hadn't been on a trickle charger or driven in a month, it decided to go to sleep along with the car and would not wake up. 2hrs of fiddling with the key...

March 2026 brought Phase II of the garage. I needed a new garage vacuum cleaner as my old one from the other house broke. I also wanted to wall mount my active pressure washer to make it easier to use and also had an issue with one of the garage doors, so I "needed" to upgrade it to a shaft...

December 2025 say maintenance work on the E92. The valve covers are lightweight and made out of magnesium. Unfortunately, the coating on them doesn't last. It flakes off and can then clog up your oil pick up. Looking in the oil fill cap I could see that it was starting to flake, and not just...

November 2025, I finally got to take the 911 back out to the track for an autocross event, and then actually out for a maiden High Performance Driver Education event at MSR Houston in January. Didn't set any lap records, but it was great to put it in it's natural environment and start to...

August 2025 brought the inevitable repair of the BMW headliner. I'd been putting this off for a year, and it just got worse, so I sucked it up, and pulled it out of the car, covering everything in glue and broken down foam. I think it went in through the front window area before glass because...

Well it's been a year again since the last update. I'm not good at this. Well the brake fluid clean up wasn't as good as I thought it was. In October my wife's Subaru stranded her, so while it was in the shop she borrowed the M3. Well she got 3 miles from the house and it went into limp mode...

So now that the snow is gone, how are you liking Bertha? And congrats, I missed out on seeing your car changes. Glad it was the 340 and not the M3 that was on the dinner menu for the rodents. I need to go check under the cover of the Cobra to ensure no guest have showed up as it hasn't been on...

Looks like you got to have nice time with both of the kids (that are growing so quickly), and major detail progress on the 944. I need to get out into the garage this weekend, and give an update on my garage as well. lol.

Thanks for the update, always love hearing your adventures. Glad your Floriday trip this time didn't include a hurricane!!

Did that Lotus leak all that fluid just backing into that spot? :eek:

Glad to hear the test was successful. The Rav4 could get some lowering springs. Easier fit and "sportier" drive. :censored:
