Trust me, the few seconds before I turned the key, I said a little prayer to the Porsche gods! Just quadruple check everything so you don't get an oil leak like I did! (It's fixed now and it was minor)

About time is right! 7 months later!

It sounds way better than I had hoped. The SFR Stage 2 headers change the tone, tho. Can't wait to drive it!

Thanks John, it was definitely a journey and I'm glad it's about over and I can finally enjoy it!

Since I was the one on the other end of the phone does that mean that you have just given me a new tittle?!?

That’s funny…..Darwin thinks the journey is over! I am going to guess a t 3 months max before he is thinking about another mod!

It was nice to hear it start up, I would have rather seen a video of your face leading up to the start and all the expressions once it was running! The only fail was that Darwin didn’t have any beer in the house for a post start celebration!

My wife says she had never seen me on such an adrenaline high before. She was texting all her family, but she was as happy as I was! (She loves this car and was actually out there most of the time helping me).

I know I should have had some beer, but I really am trying to cut back on it...

That way my fat *** doesn't weigh the car down anymore!
