Was under the weather last night and left the car on the driveway. Hopefully she won't have caught a cold...



Headed to the Department of Driver Services to get my license renewed and address changed. Here's a quick pic of the place this morning:



More than 4 hours wait to get helped. Place incredibly crowded
We have hundreds of cops giving tickets in my area but only 4 out of 12 counters staffed. I had fun taking a look at this sign of the wall:

Brada Wheels is infamous around these parts
I couldn't believe my windshield was frozen this morning too! Crazy ATL weather, I was wearing a t-shirt on Friday, lol
And I think every GA DDS center is like that... If you ever want to put some lightweight, performance wheels on that beautiful 991, let us know, we'd love the opportunity...

Hurts just to look at it!

It reminds me of our trip to Eureka Springs for the PCA-Polooza (a 220 Porsche event that was amazing BTW). We stayed in a cabin with a lot of pine trees around. I covered it every night, but when I got back home and started cleaning it up, the number of pine needles and leaves I found was amazing. I was pulling them out of crevices forever! It really hurts to look at your baby if it not up to its best.

In an attempt to make up for my negligence, I'll share a simple tip for when your local Starbucks shop has run out of green stick stoppers and that you have no other option than using the cupholders of your 991 (may I remind that he ground rule is to NEVER eat or drink in your P-car). Many of you already know it, but a straw folded in two will perfectly do the job.



99% of Starbucks customers know this, but the baristas of my local shop ad never seen this before, so I thought I'd share

OK, let the action begin...

Just started a new journal: SM_ATL's E46 M3 Journal

Edit: the 991 will not be forgotten and I have one or two things cooking...

Great car. I had a 2003 E46 M3, spent a fortune modding it over 3 years and tracking it. Really enjoyed it.

Good luck with the new project.

Thanks a lot. This time, I do not intend to spend a fortune on the project (wishful thinking?), but rather challenge myself to do it on a tight budget. Let's see how long it will take me to get coilovers... Probably around Xmas

Hate to crash your thread, but check your PMs when you get a chance, sir! Sent you one a few days ago and I'd love your input before I pull the trigger on an exhaust system.

This is a side project, I stay committed to Porsche
GT3 is still considered an option for 2015-2016 probably.

Coils and sways are a must for the E46 M3.

Right, they are on the top of my list (after a big maintenance)!
