Good to hear. My Best Car I've ever owned just left today for a new home in Los Angeles. Kinda sad to see it go.

I really like that last post of the gauge hood leather and stitching.

Nice find! Enjoy it!

Thx

The interior is what really got me on this particular car. There was a white one that had full red interior. Really cool, but wife said no. Just something different. I F i ever order a new one the interior will be bespoke and really pimp. Big IF though.

Can't wait to get home (9days) and start driving our new toy.

It's a great car, and, no doubt, you will enjoy it, but then again I may be biased.

Default Killed some bugs

Put about 300mi on it last night and today. Denver-Loveland Pass-Summit Cnty-Leadville-Minturn-Vail-Denver




-








Did get a 'Warning' from a nice Deputy today on a deserted Cnty hwy between Leadville and Minturn. 89 in a 65 pheew!




These cars are unbelievable. Everything just feels right. I could be in trouble though....

1. Wasn't going to track it...but (trouble)
2. Stock exhaust note killer...WANT PSE now!...(trouble)
3. Interactions with local constabulary...(trouble)


Taking the 70 back and forth to Denver yesterday and today I did notice everyone wants to be in front of you. Bordering on absurd. Passing cars on right (or trying to before getting caught by slower right lane traffic) to get two carlengths ahead etc. Diesel pickups, wrx's were top performers. Just weird and annoying. I don't want to race anyone, so have at it.

Love the car. Very impressed with it. Shockingly comfortable. Speed/power/torque comes on effortlessly. Still learning the PDK. Grew up with manuals, so would love to really learn the PDK and then test a manual (more trouble?).

Glad I went with the 4S. Yesterday coming down the north side of Loveland Pass it started raining hard. The car handled beautifully.

Yes that happened to me when I got a CPO BMW X5M in 2014...man if I didn't get a ticket going to work and to me I thought I was just driving the normal limit! Thank goodness I was not in my 981 Cayman at the time. I've gotten two "photo" citations last summer when I arrived in AZ so know how it feels!

Car looks great and enjoy it. Am sure you'll find other thing to "fix" or do with the car soon. LOL Looks like a PSE retrofit at min is in your future!
