Yeah, one of the more compelling reasons for the delay is that next year we won't be so stretched for time and can make a much longer trip (or possibly even two trips) while the car is over there.

We went to an Italian car show in Boerne, TX this morning. I love living out in the hill country now.

We've decided to postpone until next year. The move into our new house slipped from our original plan of late February, which has disrupted everything downstream. Plus drama with the old house in Houston. Next year we'll be able to stay a lot longer which better justifies the expense and...

I think this is a great way to say it. Driving a PDK Porsche is like driving the best automatic transmission that modern engineering can produce. Driving the flappy-paddle Ferrari is like driving a manual transmission that doesn't require your left foot. No judgement in that statement at all...

The color is Verde Silverstone, a mid-'90s heritage color for Ferrari. It was a launch color for the F355 and an upsell option for the 456. We debated colors when placing the order and this was our top pick. Our Houston dealer managed to locate a period correct paint sample card at the New...

Cannot unsee!

Way back in August of 2021, @equiraptor and I started shopping for a “road trip machine.” We've made some of our best memories together during road trips. While the Cayenne seems to love covering ground, we were looking for something convertible and more rewarding to drive in the twisties. We...

Oh I really love that! It fits that awkward spot perfectly and really adds a lot to the space.

Bring it down to the ranch if you want to get it up on a lift and poke around.

Equi will be in Angleton this weekend with the 996. I'm missing this event, instead choosing to be in Austin for SXSW.

Floor it and steer like hell!

Yeah, that looks like it does what needs doing

If brute force doesn't work you just aren't using enough.

That plug looks slightly different from the Porsche one, but I think the theory is the same. What I had to do in the Cayenne is disassemble the plug to separate the two different fibers. One of those fibers is "in" and one is "out" for the device that plug is connecting to. You leave the "in"...

The optical bus is a ring, so it's simple to add new devices by just adding a new segment of optical cable. The optical cable should have both an in fiber an and out fiber. You just redirect the "out" from the radio with a new piece of fiber and it goes to the "in" of the adapter. Then the...

I'm not sure why that would be necessary, as long as the optical is connecting to the head unit currently. This one, at least, came with a the extra fiber and connectors needed to loop in the device alongside the head unit.

New car picked up Monday, complete with brown leather for @rickhamilton620. Thread to follow soon once we've got more to say:

Plus the factory unit weighed 4.9lbs (2.2kg). Weight reduction!
