Default Just HAD to get a little fix!!!

Since it snowed here today I wasnt able to take the GT out. Bummer.
So I was watching a F12 video on YouTube and just had to get a fix!
So...I just went out to the garage, opened the garage door and started up the beast. HOLY ****!!!!! Thing sounds like a real race car!! I just really get so much enjoyment from it. Simply amazing.

Does anyone else do this?

I am redoing my garage so my GT3 has a good home when it arrives in a few weeks. I am installing a heater for the garage, because I know i am going to be spending "quality time with the girl" shortly, and it is cold.

After watching an F12-TDF video, there's nothing you can do but.......
Oh by the way, I still go out to my garage every night just to have a quick look before I call it a night.

Know how you feel Phil. Just installed cage and harness. I'll go out to the garage and just sit in it for awhile. Such a fun car! It's an event every time I start her up!

I let her run and get to about 165.

All while varying the RPM's to best mimic how it would be if I was actually driving.

Plus, it's not like this is something I do often at all.

Either way...it was totally worth it....

Hearing my full Fabspeed headers back exhaust with open valves. DAMN...she's sounding mean. Can't wait to hear it with fabspeeds maxflo mufflers in replacement of the factory center muffler. Hot damn!!

Love the cold starts with my GMG center. So aggressive and intense. Love this car more everyday. Looking hard at another P car. So many choices. 993/964 or RS from years past. Hmmm, hard to pick. Even the 997 turbos are looking like a good value now that most depreciation seems to be in.

Had a GMG center installed last week. Cold starts are amazing. Love the new roar the car has! Driving around town I keep it in gear and run up and down the rpm range just to hear the exhaust. I am sure my neighboors aren't as enamored with it...

I hope the Mini MaxFlos make me so content I don't want to try anything else. It's hard being me....
