Default Letting it warm up the other night

Love the Dash layout on this car.

I was waiting for idle to settle out, before taking off.

When I first discovered Porsche, I saw the tach in the very center, larger than any other gauge, and I was like, “I love Porsche.”

I agree, the best gauge layout on the planet. Wow... you really have a low miles car. What have you done to it? Any mods or repairs?

Mods, Let's see.

Replaced Letherette, panels in console w Leather inc. Lid, I bought Door panels in leather, but haven't installed yet.
Replaced Springs w H&R Sport springs, Shocks and struts w Bilsteins B8's. 15mm and 23mm Spacers on wheels.
Bought Durametric to diagnose issues w ABS/PSM light (loosened rear Camber plate created, 3 deg tow in on Driver side which through off steering angle) Fixed.
Replaced Black Targa Emblem on deck w 997 Silver one for Dark blue color contrast.
Replaced Amber Turnsignal lights w Smoke Euro ones.
Bought some fitted vintage luggage for Frunk, Dark Grey America Tourister.
Bought Oil Pressure Sender, but haven't yet installed (Winter's coming)
Bought RSS underdrive pulley (Winter's coming) Thanks to RSSMike for discount coupon.
Bought some Hawk HPS pads (Winter's coming)
Bought Griots orbital kit for polishing (works great, but will do again in Winter.
Replaced all fluids and filters once a year

Besides this, not much as I like it to look original, though I like leather rather than fake..

Wants: RSS engine mounts, Leather Dash Pod in great shape, polish 5 spoke Carrera's to look like 40th anniv look, new Michelins when Contis wear out. New V1 to replace 10 year old one. New Stereo and speakers get rid of MOST setup.

It's nice having a car you can jump in and drive w/o working on it all the time or if you do it's because you want to.
