I'm assuming maybe its my existing leather looking darker because its more aged. at least i hope...

Hmm if the light hits it correctly maybe but not enough to really notice or make a difference/big deal. I like it though. Great and easy mod.

Very nice garage. I was debating the use of a computer in my recently remodeled garage. Do you get a lot of use out of them? Also what kind of swivel seat do you have? I've been looking for one and yours seems like it would fit the bill.

My 991 GTS is a 5-lug. Just bought MSI 82.5mm wheel studs and OEM Porsche Wheel Nuts from Tarett.

MON (Motor Octane Number)
AKI (Anti-Knock Index) - typically used in the US. Often written as (R+M)/2)

Approximately....
95 RON = 90-91 AKI
97 RON = 92-93 AKI

So really it's just the numbers appear lower in the US for the same fuel. However, I think you can get higher octane fuel in the UK at some regular pumps.

Beautiful!

I am struggling with whether to buy snow tires. We don't get a lot of snow here, and I only drive it to keep the battery charged in the winter on nice days.

Look into Harbor Freight for the pneumatic stool.

I added stickers of tracks I've run. I wanted it to be very subtle.

Ordered from Suncoast all the emblems for the butt of the car. I hate chrome and will now have black like the GTS.
The problem will be getting them on perfectly.
