Paint Chip Repair Success

Posted 10-26-2010 at 06:35 PM by olias (Olias' blog)

One day a few weeks ago while wiping my Cayman down with a duster before putting the cover on, I noticed a small spot on the top of the right front fender behind the fuel filler port. Dutifully, I grabbed my microfiber towel and some Speed Shine and tried to wipe it off. The more I wiped the more stubborn the spot became. I soon realized that spot was a 3mm chip in the paint. My magnifying glass confirmed it – my new beautiful Porsche Cayman had a paint chip! I was in shock.

Interval Training: Interval training is a type of physical training that involves bursts of high intensity work. This high intensity work is alternated with periods of rest or low activity (the intervals in interval training).

On the long drive home from a recent DE where over the course of 3 days, I did some 15 25+ minute track sessions, I pondered the cause of my mental fatigue, and wondered whether there might be any benefit to this hobby.

No good deed goes unpunished...

A while back, my wife and I were spending a few nights in a local hotel while we were getting the floors of our house re-finished. On our way out of the hotel parking lot early one morning, we noticed a group of ladies obviously struggling with a flat tire on their car.

This gave me a chance to break out my recently assembled tire repair kit (compact jack, tire iron, and tire patch tools) and come to the rescue!

The poor ladies were recovering from a bachlorette party...

A country drive

Posted 07-26-2010 at 07:44 PM by Speedy (Life with my CS)

I had one of those country drives yesterday that makes me appreciate how truly lucky I am to own my CS.

I headed out on a 2-1/2 hour drive on Sunday afternoon to attend an out of town conference and decided to take the "back way" to reach my destination.

Though it was insanely hot (103), it was nice and cool inside the Cayman, my iPod was finding some fantastic driving music in shuffle mode - does anyone else think sometimes the iPod knows what to play?...
