My check is in the mail. We can't wait!by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)
QuoteTony in Whittier Ocean Blue shows many microfiber drying wipes. Wax is the best sloution for me to wide those swipes. If bird poop is a problem, consider a polymer polish like Zainos. I've been using it for a few years and scoff at bird poop.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Have you tried White Compound, which is a mild abrasive used to get rid of dead paint? Am curious as to what wax or polish you used that the bird paloopy ate thru?by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
QuoteThat's very common since Switzerland is not in the EU. No one can ever accuse the Swiss of being stupid.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
QuoteHas anyone here taken european delivery? if so, what paperwork was involved for driving the car over there? There was an article in a fairly recent Excellence from a retired US government person who went back to Europe and took factory delivery of a new car. He drove it for a week or two and, as I recall, delivered it to Bremerhaven for shipment to the US. It probably wouldn't be too difficby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Quotebut I've heard the Interstates are designed with deliberate straight parts every so many miles in order to use them as runways. The original design specifications called for one mile out of five to be straight and level for aircraft. That couldn't be done, but in another book on the Interstates, it says a 1 in 10 rule was followed. QuoteLet's keep in mind that any road intended for defeby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
QuoteI agree that the highway sure looks narrow. As long as they were wide enough for Hitler's tanks (and later, ours ), they were wide enough. On a slight tangent, I just finished reading a history of the US Interstate and Defense Highway System called, The Big Roads by Earl Swift. It was informative. It was interesting reading how the Interstates got their start in 1921 w/ the US Highway Sby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Quote...there is no possible way that car is going 200KPH FASTER than the cars and trucks he's passing. The problem is we don't know the speed of the other vehicles. And the camera lens also distorts vehicles in the far right lane. I used to live in Germany and spent alot of time on the Autobahns. I still remember one evening I was in the middle lane doing 70mph and saw headlights flashing a lby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Immediately after signing the paperwork for the Boxster, I joined PCA and enrolled in the Northern Ohio Region (NOR), which has 852-members. Last month, I attended my first NOR event, which was a New Member dinner at Beechwood Porsche, where I bought my car. Here are a few pics: The main hallway where the different committees had tables setup to explain Rallies, DEs, etc. The service area wherby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Has anyone tried ordering t-shirts online? I did and they wanted a minimum order of 72.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)
QuoteOne flaw in your analysis. Since a Boxster is a chick car, and chicks can be the C-word, ergo, it was a Boxster that sent him into the wall, regardless of the gender behind the wheel. And since I am a guy and not a chick, then the Boxster CANNOT be a "chick car" and your hypothesis is faulty. So we are back to square one.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
I didn't think "foot stick" sounded right, and I remembered the term "ruler" after it was too late to edit. Dohby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
I know of a girl who had a 12" yardstick tattooed on the inside of one of her legs just below her crotch, with the inscription, "THIS is 12-inches". Maybe we should call her in for a measurement.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Since men by definition cannot be the "C"-word, am assuming that the Lotus owner is so screwed up he can't tell a He from a She. And although my front bumper took a lot of bug strikes the other day, I missed the flowers.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
I have been using a Garman 755T for a few years now and can highly recommended this family of GPS for its live traffic, route re-direction, and verbal turn-by-turn directions. I also have an iPhone as backup, as well as a large-print atlas. And if I am unfamiliar with the place I am going to, I also take along a Google-map printout. Since my new Pcar has GPS, I will be getting XM Traffic for itby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Nice poem. The strife is in realizing it. I am retired and re-employed as I can't yet realize it.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Jeff, Very nice B&B. I showed your site to the little woman and we discussed spending a couple days with you in the Fall.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
QuoteI think Kevin's still got the original tires on his car, so he should be all set. I probably do. However, am unclear as to when they need replaced. The fronts look a bit thin, but there are no bare spots in the tread.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
With 162-people and 90-cars coming this year, it looks like a new record for attendance. As this will be our first year attending, would someone please post a "What Should We Bring With Us List"?by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Although not a Porsche event, this would make a good drive for many and is of interest to anyone who has an interest in the American Civil War or military memorabilia. On Sat/Sun, May 5 and 6, the Richland County Fairgrounds in Ohio will hold this show. Artillery from the American Revolution and ACW will fire volleys throughout the day, Fife and Drum bands will play, and period encampments willby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Events
QuoteDoes yours also lack automatic climate control? Yes, it lacks climate control. But the seats are heated. I like the PDK and am driving it in manual mode using the gear shift. I tried the buttons, but they can't be used while turning. The car does on its first trip tomorrow. I am driving to Charlottesville, VA and picking up a friend, then continuing on to Norfolk. We will be touring the Bby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
aka The Porsche Prophylactic I told MikenOh about my new cover and he asked how it slipped onto my car, which I couldn't answer as it was still in its shipping box. Yesterday I took it out and slipped it on my erect roofed Pcar, and took a few pics. To install, slip it on the car (w/ or w/o erect roof) and place the mirrors in their pockets, then secure the front Velcro straps to the windshielby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum

I ordered a pair of Isotoners from Amazon. The price was right and they got good reviews. Will be here Monday.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Touchless machines must be fairly common. There is a very small chain store near me called Feeney-McIntyre and they have them. I just had a piece of steel removed from the tread on one tire and they used the machine. I am guessing that any store that deals with high-end cars has such machines. To prove my theory, we have a larger chain in my area called Conrad's (32-stores in NE Ohio), whom I juby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Am looking for a thin, breathable set. Suggestions?by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
1. >$1000 from the dealer. I could have had the installer come out to the house for a lot less, but I got it as part of the loan. 2. I talked to the installer beforehand. He used Xpel as it is thicker and stronger. He said it will not yellow w/ age. 3. Not sure, but I think he did it by hand rather than a kit. 4. N/A, just got it. 5. I use Zainos and and putting it on now. The instructions thby KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
My manual says, "every 10,000 miles or one year". I plan on doing it every 5k or so.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
Leor, It looks like we have exactly the same car. Where did you get the Roadster Bag? It looks handy and I need one.by KevinR-MedinaOhio - Main Forum
