Here's some shots taken over the last few weeks trying to get past those break-in miles:

I worked with a graphic designer to have some drawings done of my car. I had them do a "baby" version, a realistic version, and an animation of the car in motion. I'm very happy with the results!

Beautiful, I recommend to trim the front end of the front strips to look a bit curved as the front strips are over designed imho

I assume you mean the stripes? Yeah, they're not perfect but the shop that did them only had a few GT2-RS photos to go by and no real measurements. My plan is to keep them on for about 6 months and them remove them in the spring and do something else.

Took a drive up to a local landmark called The Pagoda in Reading, PA a few weeks ago...

I worked with @Randy_B to create a cutaway drawing matching my spec, and he hit it out of the park with an amazing drawing of my car. I had the car cutaway printed on a 20x30" metal sheet along with images of the transmission and engine printed on 20x16" metal sheets. They are going to look great hanging in the garage!

A fabulous vision you have created. Thank you for sharing. Wheels and the idea of enjoying some 'temporary' stripes of my own, are all seeds I appreciate you planting in my mind.

...and if you are past the break-in miles, how are you enjoying the PDK? So far, all street driving?

Thank-you and everyone else who has commented for the kind words! I made it past the break-in period and have been thoroughly enjoying ripping through area back roads while listening to the melody of a high rpm mechanical orchestra and blistering through turns at speeds that defy logic. I'm very happy with the PDK and it's ability to read my mind and shift exactly where I would have with a manual. Every element of this car is so well engineered and thoroughly conceived. The only thing that makes me sad is when I have to get out of it. I long for warmer weather to come and to get this masterpiece on a racetrack where it belongs!
