Thanks so much! The only option I'm still holding my breath about is PDK. First time to leave the manual fold. Much to get used to.

I don't have the actual list right now, but in a nutshell:

PDK
Sport Design wheel
Steering Plus
standard headlights
sunroof delete
Centerlocks
Bose
front/rear parking sensors (no camera)
Ducktail
heated/vented seats
14 way seats with cheap $320-ish package (no enter-and-drive, no fancy ambient lighting)
Headrest crests
smokers pack (need to take up smoking to get full use of it)
pax footwell cargo net
SPASM (no PDCC)

I have a laser in the ceiling that lines up with the deviated stitching on the dash when I'm at the right spot.
Laser in the ceiling? That sounds cool and I have never seen that. Can you provide more info?

You can buy a two-head for every two bays you have, mount between the bays and angle them. But I prefer to put one at each bay and have it shoot straight down. Just park your car where you want it, then use a long broom stick or something to reach up and adjust the laser till it lands on a point on your dash or hood you can target every time you park. I just plug them in to the same place each garage door is plugged into in the ceiling. (I have separate doors for each bay.)

Really cool car, great exterior and interior color combos. I'd drive that in less than a heartbeat!

Proud new owner flying down from Jersey Sunday to drive her home.

I've tried the whole "keeping two sorta similar sportscars around at the same time" thing, and I wind up not driving the old one any. I mean, any. And I hate for them to sit -- that really bothers me. I have a 68 Cadillac convertible that I've had since 2007 and did a minor restoration on it and rebuilt the 472. But I never drive it much any more, and the fact it just sits there really bugs me. I HATE feeling like "I need to get out and drive Car X some more." Why? Why keep it if the only reason I'm using it is because I "need" to?

That said, lots of guys are happy with 20 cars in their garage.

Beautiful color combo. Black/Garnet looks best on the GT Silver!

Awesome. Great looking garage and beautiful GTS. Almost went the ducktail route, but really love the retro grill. Ducktail with the retro grill would be awesome, fully agree with the pre '73 comment.
