Good morning everyone

Not much going on here, it’s raining and only a high of 61* I’ll head out to the barn in a while and finish cleaning the Z and that’s about it.
Y’all make the best of it

At least it wasn't a turbo!

Good morning all! Glad those attending the Z Summit at Rusty's had a great time and got home safely.

I am sorry to hear about your dad's Porsche Mr. Larson. Never easy to lose something you put blood, sweat and tears into.

Well it will be under 100 today and the air is full of smoke from the fires in California. It is crazy because those fires are better than 400 miles away and you can smell it like it is within 20.

Josh, sorry to hear about your dad's car. That's a heart breaker for sure.

Due to the value of that car going way up he may make out just fine if he had full coverage insurance. I hope he did.

Set cruise control at 80 mph on the way home from the airport. Speed limit is 65 mph and as I was nearing my exit, I came up on a sedan in the left lane. The didn't move over as I approached so I moved into the middle lane to pass. It was an unmarked cruiser because as I reached his blind spot he flipped on his lights briefly. I slowed to 75 and moved over to the right hand lane and took my exit. There was another car running up on him in the left lane as I exited and on the frontage road, I saw him flash those lights again lol.

On a more somber note, RIP my dad's Porsche. As I'd mentioned to you guys in passing, he'd been restoring a 996 series 911 after years without anything more mobile than a minivan. He'd just finished replacing the seats and top, was on his way home, and smoke started filling the cabin. He pulled into a parking lot, popped the front, and saw flames. Not much in the front except wiring and the battery, so most likely a wiring issue. He couldn't get at it with his floormats, quickly called 911 (2 blocks from a fire house) but it took them more than 10 minutes to roll out by which time the whole car was just a column of flames. Heartbreaking :-/ He took it pretty well, all things considered.

im sorry bro.. this is terrible terrible news, but thank god he made it out safely.
