Question: Car Numbers during DE

Posted 08-26-2008 at 07:51 PM by Ed Merry

How do you have car numbers on your CS that stay on during a Drivers Education and don't mar the paint?

Cleaning Exhaust Tips

Posted 08-26-2008 at 02:44 PM by KS-CS

I decided to spend a little quality time with my Cayman this week by hand-washing it. However, when I got done I noticed how tarnished and weathered the exhaust tips looked (after 2 1/2 years of neglect) compared to the rest of the car . . . kind of like taking a bath and not cleaning your . . . well, you know.

So, today I took some Brasso, and dragged out my Dremel tool with some polishing wheels and compound, and went to work on it. After about an hour, I got it looking

My first and last mod...

Alright, so I said no mods, and after three months I've already broken my promise to myself. Well, I couldn't resist. The stock Cayman S exhaust tip is not my taste. The cost of Porsche's chrome tip is outrageous, so after sneering at the stock tip for awhile, I ordered the Agency tip from Vivid Racing. I think it looks A LOT better.

Alright, now I can safely say no more mods. Just like my spouse, her diet always starts tomorrow.

No love for the Cayman today.

I stopped by our local grocery store (a Food Lion) this afternoon to pick up a few items and upon returning to the car found what appeared to be an entire cup of coffee poured across the hatch.

The stream started just below the glass on the right side and went down and to the left to the spoiler. From there it appears the person poured the remaining coffee along the spoiler, as the entire lenght of the wing was full of coffee.

It certainly could have been a lot...

First DE is coming up!

I've recently been accepted into what will be my first DE with my CS and I'm pysched!

It will be at VIR on September 5th - 7th with the Potomac Region Founders Club. I've been to schools at VIR twice in the past with my A4, but it's been several years since my last time.

It's hard to believe I have owned my CS almost 7 months now, and I'm sorry it's taken me this long to get to a DE, but life intervenes sometimes, and I'm sure this is going to be a blast. ...
