Noticed a bolt stuck in my tire this past Tuesday while at work...and it didn't even make it the trip home. Bolt came out leaving about a 1/4" hole in the tire. Whipped out the 'ol donut, and was on my way again in about 10 minutes. Sure came in handy.

I've gotta say I'm impressed Porsche found the space for a spare in a 911. The compressor was also very handy. The funny part is, my previous car (E39 M5) didn't even have a spare because the dual exhaust was in the way...and that was a much larger car!

Default coolant pipe fail

Will post more when the job's done, but this photo says it all (coolant pipe separation, engine-out to pin, etc). Sigh. The one Achilles heel of these cars.

Installed a new aero front lip spoiler. The old stock one was really badly damaged and I only got around to replacing it now. This is the one I bought. Fast shipping! http://www.ebay.com/itm/281222525180?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
