A few recent photos while out chasing cherry blossoms.





No cherry blossoms 🌸 but I liked this one anyway.


A graphic artist (car_logos on IG) made this for me and I love it!

They blossoms are out here as well, and it won't be long before you won't want to parked there top down...

I was also going to say that your car looks very Chalk in that picture!

I only stopped for a photo but there were already some blossoms falling 😃

My car does look chalk in certain lighting and I didn’t spend any time doing much color correction this time.

Just ping him on IG. Super responsive and quick turn around. It was very reasonable but I’ll let him set his price. Reasonable to the point of not blinking at the decision to buy it 😬

Does the Kline exhaust drone more than the OEM one at highway speeds? The livery and wheels look amazing.

Fair enough. I didn't want to dm him yet because I wont have my GT4 for probably like 6 more months.

No, not in my experience. I have the Kline SS setup as well as the Cargraphic controller. Kline sounds amazing at all RPM ranges with PSE logic or valves locked open. When I'm cruising on the highway with a passenger, I tend the default back to PSE logic which closes the valves in the lower RPMs, but it is totally livable and sounds good even locked open...just louder. Any exhaust is going to have some resonance when you lug the engine (6 gear acceleration from low RPM for example) but Kline isn't any different from oem here although I think even that sounds better with Kline. I did a full write-up here if interested - https://911maniac.com/2022/01/19/jon...y-at-the-shop/

I had my first track day experience with our local PCA chapter and it was an absolute blast. Dangerously wet track for half the day and then a beautifully dry track for the second half, so perfect for exploring my limits with the car on a track. Notice I said my limits very intentionally 🤣

My PS4S tires served me well in the morning and I had fun passing faster cars on tires that didn’t like the standing water very much. They made up for that later in the day! Pacific Raceways is an older track and can be unforgiving, but we all escaped without incident. I’m looking forward to my next DE day at The Ridge, another local track but more modern.

I’m thankful that a pro photographer, https://www.bouchezphotography.com, was there to capture some fantastic photos. These are all Christian’s photos:

Shared center court with a stunning Carrera GT and a ton of other beautiful cars at the Exotics at Redmond Town Center car show.

It sounded amazing driving in:


Busy center court but this is just 10% of the cars at the show. It’s huge:


A GT3, GT3 RS and a GT2 RS…what a collection!


A few 992 GT3s:


Love the 911R, I just wish they made more of them.

Jeff, is this an annual event? By invitation to show the car?

From April to September, an all volunteer army puts on the Exotics at Redmond Town Center cars and coffee. Happens every rain-free Saturday. I’m addition to the normal Saturday events, they have special days that draw even bigger crowds. Opening Day. German Car Day. Italian Car Day, etc. This was German Car Day and it was amazing.

Free to attend, free to show your car, but they are very particular about the cars they allow and where they place them. All in the name of putting on a good show. They aren’t jerks about it although some who get directed to visitor parking throw a fit.

https://exoticsat.com

Saturday’s turnout was insane. The show officially starts at 9am but I was lined up by 7am to ensure I made it in. Row after row of amazing cars. 911Rs, all variants of GT cars including the Carrera GT, 918s, etc. There was a Mercedes McLaren SLR Sterling Moss that must be worth $3m. Since it was German car day the Ferraris, Lamborghinis and McLarens were in the back lot but still showed up in force. Italian car day is equally crazy.

Come visit 😄

I love these posts Jeff, thanks for sharing them. This photo got me thinking about those who’re chasing the Sypder RS dream, and in this photo I can picture that top, on your car.

Resurrecting my thread for a few recent photos. I’m having so much fun with this car! I may finally have found a car I want to keep long term.

I took it out to The Ridge Motorsports park and had an absolute blast. It was pouring most of the day but my PS4S tires were up to the challenge. I’m a novice but enjoying the learning process.



Hard to camouflage this car 😂



I wrote an article in our local PCA magazine about the exhaust install I did with the family and also took the cover shot. Here’s a digital copy of the magazine if you want to check it out - https://87m491.files.wordpress.com/2...22_digital.pdf



I got together with two other friends (and my 11 year old) for a Porsche livery drive from Seattle to Artist Point, Mount Baker. Amazing drive, perfect weather, and a fun showcase of three generations of Boxster/Cayman.







I hope you are all enjoying your cars and pouring on the miles!
