Am guessing that thing on the dash was a Tach. I wonder how many RPMs the first and last lites represented.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum

I am interested. How about going to the manufacturer?by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Parts for Sale
Am guessing this site software doesn't allow Polling. So, how many people here have gas bibs?by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
I had not heard of one before reading the above post. Rather than ask what it was, I looked it up. It's kind of like whatt you would use if you were never being taught not to pee on your hands.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
And the fact that the pictures are over-saturated may have something to do w/ the darker colors.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
That's what I thought, at first. It is the same color as mine. In overcast weather, my car looks like what is pictured in Panorama. In bright sunlight, the metallic paint gets brighter, which I like. Out of sunlight: In sunlight:by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
A couple Saturdays ago I was on-foot (no, Marc, the car wasn't in the shop ) and a yellow, <05 Boxster drove past. I gave the occupants a and I got from the occupants. Today I was driving into work and the driver of a yellow '07S who lives near me saw me and waved. He got a in return. Shortly thereafter, I passed a maroon <'05 and I waved to him.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
It would be nice if it worked w/ my '09. I'd like to disable the trunk buttons unless the car is powered on, but don't know if it is possible.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)
What did one ocean say to the other ocean? Nothing, they just waved. Why does a milking stool have only 3 legs? Because the cow has the utter. What did one cannibal say to the other while they were eating a clown? Does this taste funny to you? What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground beef How can you tell if a groom is Polish? He would be the one with the clean bowling shirt. Did you heaby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
I saw an add in Excellence that said the Durametrics software would work on cars up to model year 2008.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)
I read the PDK article in the link. I don't think I have a SPORT button the article mentioned, but will check the manual. I ran the around today and it may have blipped once. I was stopped on a hill and in 1st gear. When I started out and got the rpms up to about 3500 or so and shifted into 2nd, the blip occurred.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Quotefrogster at 4:44 i noticed a little throttle blip in what appears to have been a slowing down for a curve. it seemed very human, not something i thought a PDK box would do. anyone with a PDK care to comment? That blip I heard was him shifting up from a low gear, probably second. It seems like in the low gears, you can get a blip if your rpms aren't at a sweet spot the tranny likes. It disaby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
QuoteDougW I agree it is handy to check the pressure via the TPM but geez if I had the choice my trusty tire gauge would do the trick for a lot less $$$. TPMS is good for people who don't care about their cars and just drive them hither and yon. How many time have we all seen a car in front of us w/ one or more tires going flat, and the driver is oblivious even though the car is swaying and swerby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
QuoteGuenter in Ontario Ah yes. I was thinking manual transmission, not PDK. I have realivily little experience there. Still I would think if you're really accelerating, starting from 1st would be quicker.... First gear is like crawlinggggg ; 2nd gear is spritely. You are welcome to try my PDK when we meet.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Pedro, Am considering the Techno Charger and Volt (as long as it doesn't void my warranty). How do you want to handle payment? Kevinby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)
Our attendance decreased from the projected 95-cars to 83. I called the Little Switzerland and was "upgraded" from the motorcycle lodge to the main lodge. The are other rooms in the main lodge available, as well as the one in the motorcycle lodge. If you lag, you lose.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)
Either that video was run at 1/2 speed, or he never got past 3rd gear until the later half. If you are going to drive, THEN DRIVE IT. Otherwise, park it. I agree that the PDK is very nice; it is very easy to shift up and down. And when I get lazy, I let it downshift at stops. One interesting aspect seems to be that the PDK is linked to the speedometer, which lags behind what the car is doing.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
I have found it much harder to mis-pronounce it "P-car".by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
QuoteI remember that, it was our first attempt at non-stop refueling on a desert run... Reply Quote Report Go Back Since that looks like a dry bulk hauler in front of you, am wondering what your mileage was powered by corn you got from it?by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
How do other Germans pronounce it? QuoteBut then my last name isn't pronounced like it is in Germany either. I'm guessing somewhere around WW I it got changed in Ohio. Along with Sauerkraut, aka Victory Cabbage.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Did you check the Pelican Parts site? I was looking around the other day and found a site that showed parts schematics for everything on a Porsche, and listed them by parts numbers. I thought it was Pelican.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Most of the other boards I belong to allow unlimited editing and message deletion. Allowing these options goes a long way towards correcting misunderstanding and stupid comments. It makes more sense to have the original poster modify or delete an offensive message rather than deleting an entire thread.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Board suggestions
That is not an offense in Ohio. I guess I will flash when it won't confuse others. Otherwise, I'll probably give a Thumbs Up.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
I can remember a discussion on PPBB about what the correct response should be when encountering another Pcar. I don't recall a definitive answer as to whether there was an established protocol or not. I know Harley owners, MC riders in general, and BMW owners have their own greeting, but am assuming Pcar owners do not; am I correct in my assumption? The reason I asked is that I have passed a fewby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Thank you. I was thinking it was a Concours event. With 95-cars (!) coming, I hope the hotel has lots of hoses.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)
QuoteThey just follow the rules of the road over there and use their rearview mirrors for driving instead of checking makeup. I'd be happy if they checked their mirrors. I almost rear-ended a flatbed truck yesterday on I71 when he whipped out of the right-lane and into mine w/ no warning. It was CLOSE. 1.

Could someone explain what the Show & Shine event is?by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)
QuoteNuovaZeta Read this about clays. It might change your mind... regards John As I use clay, I read this article with interest. It was informative, with the last paragraph being the what I was looking for: Overspray clay is a double-edged sword. It can be a scratch waiting to happen. It must be used only on a well-lubricated area and must be continually checked for contaminants. If you rubby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
