On a separate note gents and ladies, I love the silver Crest in the grey wheels, moreso on my choice of extcolour, being non met black. Question I pose is, has anyone either replaced or looked into replacement of the hood emblem to match these?
Any help pointing me to a supplier or another option would be appreciated.
Back from an 1800 mile odyssey in my T, from NY to Portland, Maine (no, not Portland, Oregon, unfortunately) where we boarded The CAT high speed ferry to Nova Scotia.
To my brethren in Canada, you've got it both bad and real, real good. Prices for almost everything are high. I could find no gas above 91 octane.
But ah, those roads. Like glass, literally 1 or 2 potholes the entire trip. Sight lines that stretched almost as far as the eye could see. Little, if any, law enforcement. Ran across perhaps 2 or 3 police cars on the road in six days. Needless to say, speed wasn't a problem. Even my wife, who is a very conservative driver, was having a blast. Passing in passing lanes was effortless and often wound up in the triple digits incredibly quickly.
A bit OT, here is a quick pic I've been meaning to post of a charging cord from the center console, under the side trim, right to the Rennline mount.
It was my wife and I on the trip. We loaded a size 35 (don't know if it's gallons, etc) Yeti cooler on the folded down seat back behind the driver's seat. Two large backpacks on the seat back behind the passenger seat. Various stuff on the rear floor. Two suitcases and a tripod in the trunk. Also stuffed many microfiber towels, glass cleaner and interior detail cleaner under the setbacks. It was a bit rough taking the cooler in and out to dump the water, almost like lifting a small fish tank, especially with my shoulder hurting, but it was awesome all in all.
Yes, we joked that we really need a larger vehicle. What we had in mind was my 2018 F150 Platinum or my wife's Lexus Rx350. But after driving the roads up there, I would have been kicking myself if I had not taken the T.

Quick question for those in the know. I have another week to finalize the build for my T. I’m thinking about adding RAS. I’m not planning to track the car but I do like the backroads of New England.
I just came out of a 2018 911 C4, my first true sports car. I see you have much more experience with excellent cars than I.
I have a hard off camber right to an immediate sweeping but very short left turn coming into my development where I live. (It's not really a development but don't know what else to call it.)
I always took it very aggressively, no matter what I was driving. I would hammer it in my 2017 Raptor, my 2016 Turbo Macan and 3 Macans before that.
I'm very familiar with how different cars feel making that right/left.
The RAS in my T is -- and I promise you I hate the phrase as it's so overused it loses its impact -- a game changer literally and figuratively. And I will rarely if ever track mine.
But with the 911 being tail heavy, it instills confidence as the rear follows the front instead of wanting to just break away in a high speed maneuver.

I’ve gone RAS too, had no choice, the spec was en route so took what I could close to my preference, Black and Manaul, no further slots for Australian Ts.
Pickup up in a couple weeks, VERY excited about it, my first 911!
