For sure but it looks so good now! The thought pain prior to doing a job like that flips to satisfaction once done.

By the way, your Carrera is not only timeless but gorgeous too. The color, the wheels, the car's shape, how it sits - the overall design is perfection. Very nice.

Gosh thank you!! I sure love it. I sold the GT3 and Cayman and got this instead to be that happy medium. For me, it’s just a great car

I'm with Tim -- that color just went up 10 pegs in my book. I assume that's Ruby Red Metallic?

Yes it’s ruby red, very close to arena red. It’s not very common that’s for sure. I wanted white, but when I saw this I was like “oh ya!”

Now if I could only take my own advice.

Great Advice. I just moved 3 years ago and touched everything I have (to move it - twice, in fact).

I moved about 4 years ago too, and got rid of a lot of clutter during the move. I still kept stuff I'll probably never use, but moving is great for de-cluttering. I still had unopened boxes from college (and I graduated during the Reagan administration).

I'm going to keep all my crap and let my kids figure it out after I'm gone. Same way my dad and father-in-law did. Kind of a tradition....

I identify, I've lived in my current house 33 years( my 'new' house), and despite my best efforts, I've got a lifetime of clutter. But much is stuff I'm holding onto fir sentimental reasons or because I " just might need it someday." Just last week the pressure regulator on my 3 burner cooker failed while I was parkerizing some gun parts, but I happened to have the regular from our old gas grill that had rusted out 5 years ago, so I'm justified.

And my son tells me he's just going to burn my house when I die, too much stuff to sort through.

"Tradition" for retained crap - I love it!
