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.

That was the 1st thing I thought of when I saw your post. BTW...I have been looking at caliper paint.....you had a nice write up 4 years ago when you did yours. Sorry to hijack.

POST 43Original post

Thanks. It was not that difficult. If you use the brush-on paint, make sure you get a 1" bristle brush because the brush that comes with the Dupli-Color paint is very stiff and small. You may also want to consider painting yout "top hats" at the same time. I also did a write up on painting those. Do an Advanced search on "top hat" (singular) in the Tiitle.

POST 44Original post

The speed yellow 996 C4S was brought home as an early Christmas gift in November. Then my bride (er Santa) had a yellow P-crest key fob, a Porsche golf bag and a black "Carrera" T-shirt under the tree. Not trading in either of them (the wife and the 996). DC4

We if I do not count the New Water Pump - which we will call "preventive care" installed when we got the thermostat to replace the Missing one... I will look at the PORSCHE Photo Story Book by Schleglmitch & Lehbrink I picked up at Costco as gift from Me to Me. And my dear wife (Santa) provided a Porsche Calendar with a Silver 996 C4 on the first page to brighten my days. Merry Christmas to all And we wish you all a New Year with no IMS stories

Nice. Santa was pretty generous in our neck of the woods and certainly had a discussion with Ferry Porsche. Santa gave my 996 a voucher for a PSS9 or 10 and GT3 sway bars... To be purchased and installed before the next track season. (It is also the 1 year anniversary of the car) Santa (I) gave my mom a voucher for a short driving school on a 997 GT3 RS (She was pretty surprised. It will be her first time on a track at >60year old). FM

POST 66Original post

my christmas wasnt too good. My girlfriend broke up with me a few days before christmas, i couldnt even tell you what even happened to spark it with her, all we had was a small argument that she blew up on me for and ended it. I love her a lot so it has made things pretty difficult. even pulling the 911 and driving it everywhere hasn't helped much at all.

POST 67Original post

At least she was not your wife! Last Christmas day ,my best friend (friends for sense we were 5 y/o) had his wife tell him she was not happy and wanted a divorce! She moved out 2 days later... it will be final this April.

POST 68Original post

ya that really sucks! i cannot believe she did this to me. or for that matter anyone would do that to another person they care about...

POST 69Original post

you answered the question that was not asked, "How anyone would do that to another person they care about..." They really did not care! Get thru the Holdiay and remember she will be the one looking back going... Crap! Why did I do that! Cheers,

POST 70Original post

Better off finding out now, than later. I spent 13 years with a girl before she told me she never loved me and left. Be glad you didnt waste too much time. Lots o fish out there. Get back on the horse. :-)

POST 71Original post

Quotes source post: 8163371

Agreed, wise advice. I've been exactly where you describe, and mine cost me a mortgage-free house, a car, retirement savings and $12,000 in legal fees. These things are very hard and sad, but if it's broken it's broken. Everybody is better off finding out sooner. If your situation is anything like mine, 2011 will be the best year of your life.

Some late additions to my original post: 1. New ContiSportContact 2s for the front - thanks to mother in law (seriously!) and Damon at Tire Rack for helping to sort out the options. 2.

POST 118Original post

Nice! Way to go using stock mounting points! I miss driving mine,,,, but there is too much salt on the roads for me. Saw a lot of em commin out of the woodwork today though!

POST 119Original post

I washed the suburban and I mean I washed it good even the underside, even after that when we lowered the windows and put em back up the salt was streaking on them. Really a lot on the pass and we went up lots of times. I wish they would just let the snow be. It melts natuarly and costs nothing to melt if you just let it - push it to the sides is fine, but the chemicals and salts are terrible
