Thanks for sharing your story and pictures. I might have to borrow your blue tape idea as I've come to the realization that I might have to travel out of State to pick up a Turbo next month.

hahah go for it!

the blue tape certainly did its job and im glad i took the time to cover almost the entire car. everytime we stopped for fuel or food someone would always ask about it.

oh and here is a quick youtube vid i forgot we took of the 1st startup for us...

great post and pics ......... overkill with tape but we're all into overkill anyway. it's like everything with us in the 996tt family: a little is good and a lot is better.

Flying in America sucks. 90% of the time your flight is messed up and you have a middle seat. The ground crew are flight crew are surly at best because they been constantly f'd over by the companies they work for. Flight service get worse every year and fares keep going up with all the add on charges. I don't fly anymore if I don't have too. I just picked up a car in Sacto (500 miles from me) and did a one way rental to get there rather than fly with a plane change using two puddle jumpers.
