    I have 1 really nice suit. Got it for my stepsons wedding 5/6 years ago.They indicated on the invite the type of attire people should wear. It went to the dry cleaners a few weeks ago, so I could wear it to my brother's wedding. I take it out of the plastic cover and WTF. My suit but not my shirt or tie. Shirt was too small, tie was real nice.
    Shirt went to Goodwill.
    I gotta admit, I looked good.

    To be clear, I was saying she wanted the 944 in the Mazda Soul Red. Porsches look good in just about any color if done right. Except brown probably.

    It’s not pink…it’s Salmon, or Evening Haze.

    Took a look more carefully today and couldn’t see any dings. We have some more storms coming through soon, hopefully won’t need to update this.
    That Mazda red is the nicest paint I can recall seeing in the last 10 years. It’s looks like it’s four feet deep. The color and effect it has alone almost makes me want to get a mazda.

    There's a specialty shop in Sherwood that does Porsche restorations. I've seen some version of 944 there in brown w/tan leather that looked very good. I don't know if it was the primer he used, but the color changed some with the contours of the car/ how the light hit it.

    Ryan on Counting Cars got a similar result on a Camaro (IIRC) blending gray and black primers under a candy maroon to highlight the curves of the fenders.

    Pro tip:
    Don't clean your truck.
    The mud is sealing in the leaks.

    Saw it putting the skids back on.
    That's probably, in part, my fault.
    When I installed the ecgs bushing I left the seal because it was fine. ( I already have a new seal ) Lasted 2 years.
