I haven't read 000, but missing you as the editor of Pano!

Ah, sorry about that. The hardest part of leaving was telling the Panorama team that grew from a core team of two to eight during my time there, and then the PCA members I met at events. When I started, I looked at the role as one with the potential for ten years, and built everything that way. So it was very odd, disassembling the office of PCA West after just 3.5 years—but the time was right for something new, and I am SUPER proud of the Pano team and their ongoing work to deliver a great magazine to PCA members under new editor Rob Sass.
As for 000, it's not meant to compete with Pano, or any other Porsche magazine for that matter. It's meant to add something new to the Porsche landscape, and while the price may seem nutty, I assure you it isn't.

Saw a silver 991.1 in the night on 101 tonight, and was reminded just how pretty those taillights are, delicate and accented by those side "gills."

I am finishing my 000 Prototyp issue (which I got only couple weeks ago) and immensely enjoy the quality of the stories, storytelling and photos.I am hooked and will be buying all of the previous issues to catch up with the subscription.
Unfortunately, I am late to the party and will have to pay more for the older issues. Same thing happened to me with 991. I loved and drove my 997 way too long and ended up with all 991 new production (except GT3, which I failed to get to an allocation so far) going FE, while I am NA guy. Contrary to your opinion I failed to learn how to love 991.2 engines..Had to hunt and compromise on the options finding and buying my 991.1 CS and GTS. Such is life

And no worries on the differing opinions. I love the .2 engine, but I know it isn't for everyone—and the 991.1 3.8 is a really nice engine, and the GTS version blew me away (again) in the last test car that came through, a Targa GTS. Man, does it like singing the high notes.

I got 5mm spacers on mine, but I have noticed when I back out of my driveway and I have to turn the front wheel to full lock that something isn't quite right. It isn't rubbing per se, as it is more of a few small jumps. Like something catches the rim or tire. Anybody else having the same thing?

It is normal and its called Ackerman steering. But this difference in steering angle doesn't cause the tires to skip, it's designed precisely to prevent that skip. The reason is that in a tight turn, the inside and outside tires travel along different radii. Hence the difference in steering angles.
