Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

First nice warm day of the year, wife and daughter were out, son was sleeping - the perfect storm! Got my bucket and wash supplies out, and washed the 911 for the first time in months (sad but true)!
It's dropping down to the 20's tonight, so there wont be many more summer days until at least spring! Anyone else do the same thing??
It was in the 50's up here yesterday, but instead of washing my Porsche, I drove it instead.Now I find myself looking for the temps to reach 40 degrees so I can enjoy my 99. Eventually I'll break down and wash it if the weather ever cooperates.
I went to the local hand wash place and took her home and did all the finishing touch ups!!
I did a lot of driving this weeks sonce I just had the 30k maint done as well as an EVO cold air induction
Sounds great with the GHLs!!!
I wanted to wash and DRIVE my car so bad... I never had the time and than when I was going to drive into NYC and take the 996 a huge rainstorm hit so I bagged that as well.

I hear ya. My wife isn't into me driving off into the sunset if the kids are up and bothering her. So, I too have to wait till nap time to make any daytime getaways! I WOULD have driven my car yesterday, but I was home alone with the boy sleeping. So washing it was the only other way to bond with the car.
In Charlotte, we're in a pretty severe drought and are restricted on our water usage, which means no car washing. It's killing me - I refuse to take the car to an automated car wash, so I have to spend the $$$ taking it to a detailer for something I'd rather do myself.
Andy, I'm with you...the bond we have with our cars is reinforced each time we wash them. We run our hands over their shapes and in the process of bringing them back to a condition of cleanliness, we come to be more passionate about what it is we own.
Well, I got to drive mine today - tomorrow it will snow, so the car will be off the road for another week or so until the snow and ice clears... it sure was nice to drive today though.
LOL.
O.T. - Did you hear any news about the Fabspeed charity car show this spring? Are they planning one? I met you at last years show in Ambler. Also, I plan on attending one of the "coffee and cars" with the F-Chat gang one of these Saturdays, I hope to see you there.
