Yellow looks great with pccb, but I think black wheels and black headlights are also a must.

Anyway, not to offend anyone, but I just do not get all those discrete colors - if you are getting a flaming excess of a car (if not in price, for sure in capability), why not own it all the way? Racing yellow is great.
I dont get it. Does this mean youre going to get a divorce and start cruising around Jarvis St for girls?

Now why would I need a divorce for that? And GT3 would be a wrong car for the job - it attracts only dudes!

But seriously, a red car reminds me of a simpler time, when I could do anything and not worry. Did I tell you how for the first few weeks I had that car, I thought that the US speed limit sign was advisory limit (not enforced), because that's what square speed limit sign means in most of the world, so I drove as fast as I liked? Fool's luck - no tickets...

Now I can't even make typos on the internet without someone giving me crap for that.

A man could never have enough garage space. All I need is a bed in the garage for full time residency in the garage.

Who says that?

But no really... I'll be here all week folks. (Funny thing is someone will still pay big money to permanently change their wheels instead of plasti-dipping them... )

Amen brother.

My house when the garage is finished will be 3,000 sf of living area and 1500 sf of garage. Seems like perfect proportions to me!
