After 5 hours of stuffing around.
I have passed the noise test, just. You guys would laugh your ass off if you saw the muffler I needed to pass this test. Poor old turbo dont run to well with it on.

The storms blew by again. No big deal just some t-storms. I talked to one of our customers that lives in Weatherford and he said the tornado that hit them and killed 5 people hit a small area about three blocks long and did little other damage.

This is a little awkward. I would like to be more toned. I don't work the right muscle groups in my usual workouts but I've been trying to do more situps and pushups. I hate the gym but it would be nice to have benchpress equipment and stuff like that. I feel I am sufficiently fit, I just have a little extra flab that is persistent. Hiking and cycling does not seem to get them unless I really go at it. What brought this on now?

hehe, sorry Max.
Yes you did, and I thank you for it. Looks like I am on my own with the all black thing. Dave, what do you think ?

Vas, my personal opinion is black wheels look ugly. They just disappear unless the car is stopped and the wheels are in the sun. Of course I admit I am prejudiced. I have wheels that are color matched to my white car. Factory OEM.

Instructor liked my Steppenwolf shirt. Mentioned some stuff about them before the movie. Afer the 1966 hit musical acts from Ed Sullivan were over I told him how I saw them live last year and then got onto Monster and the war and all that. He is like my Dad (one year older) in that I can get him going on and on about all the stuff that happened then. Especially 1968 and 1969.
I love this class.

I'm definitely not a fan of the all-black, space saver spare look. There are exceptions, but maybe only 1 out of 10 cars looks good with all-black wheels. 9 out of 10 guys here on Pelican running all-black wheels on their 911s have cars that look cheap. Those seem to be the same guys who love the whale tail look on narrow-bodied cars. Doesn't always look bad, but there are only a few exceptions, IMO.
Even a silver rim barrel (anodized or polished) with black centers looks OK. All-black, not OK. In general I'm not a fan of the color-matched centers, either. Too much red/white/yellow brightness in most applications. Sometimes it works, but other times it looks too 1980s Miami Vice. I think my car (Venetian Blue) is one exception to the no-color-matched-center guideline, though. Possibly because the Venetian Blue is not a blingy color. (That being said, I have RSR finished wheels right now.)

Sorry, I admit I have a mental block on that.

I've noticed....
I dig the color matched look... Tried to score a set of color match fuchs for the 944 once but struck out... Now its not in the budget.... |

I do like my white wheels. But I admit I fell in love with my car as soon as I saw it. After 16 years of owning it I still love it.
