You're long overdue for an update no matter how small.

You are right good sir šŸ˜•

Lots going on in the House. Little one is turning 5 šŸ˜³ and sheā€™s going on 16, so thatā€™s been the focus. Head Coach for her soccer team and now she is playing softball. Time in the garage has been limited. Last time I took the Speedster out the muffler can blew apart. Been working with Greg to try and get my Speedster up to his shop so that he can make a replace can with something a little more durable (he built the custom exhaust for me so itā€™s nice that he is taking care of everything. Coupe hasnā€™t sene much progress and Iā€™m likely going to just give it to Greg and have his Team finish it all up since I donā€™t have much time anymore.

On a positive note, I couldnā€™t let my wifey be the only person with a daily driver Porsche. So I found this beauty down in San Diego. PCA owned, two owner, a rare ā€œLaunch Editionā€ (yes, the VIN code has a special lunch code for the first very few model 997.2), 2009 Porsche 997.2 C4S with only 49k on the ODO. Nothing like the a@@ of a C4S. Full records, well maintained, garage kept, and just halls a@@. I slapped new tires on, completed the 50k, and checked the OBD (I have the cable and software to run diagnostics on the car). No over revs and no codes. Just perfect. The 997.2 IMO are the last of the true ā€œdriversā€ care before electronics took over.

In true LongFella fashion, I ripped the Center muffler out, straight piped it and added the ā€œgundo modā€ which slightly bypasses the two side mufflers. Itā€™s sounds like a flat six should! Just rips through the PDK 7-speed.

Hope you all enjoy the update! The LongFella Family is still around and kicking. We do have this years SLO blocked in our calendar. Just need to get the room reserved. Hoping the coupe is done, if not, Iā€™ve got the Speedster and maybe the wifey can drive the C4S ;-)
