Goal for 2024 is 2 SoW sessions, 1 Buttonwillow and hopefully hopefully finally get my first Laguna Seca laps under my belt. I've always felt 4 track days per year should be the minimum. I've run Buttonwillow once back in ~2017 and I think I was in the 2:10s... but that was a totally different car. (24v Swapped E30)

In other news, I should be receiving the last of a few interior bits and will have a nice update after the holiday

Installed the first of my Black Friday purchases... there’s a few here.
(Before)

(After)

I have a few more things to install, but inside needs a steering wheel that I know what I want... and maybe a new center console in addition to a sexier horseshoe. Too much brittle plastic, the last few times I’ve had to deal with the interior pieces something has chipped and broken.

Long overdue detail happening by my friend Don of @domsgarage_ (Instagram) . It’s getting a full detail with a Ceramic coating to top it off. I finished removing the Porsche side stripes and plan to install a set of Carrera stripes from RennDecals. The look should be great for 2024, I can’t wait.
I tried to make a weird collage of his stories on his progress

Nothing like the car in its natural skin

After getting the car detailed, I had a very close eye on the forecast for my 1/1 annual drive. I got a few minutes in the garage and decided I wanted to install one of the stickers to make the rear less naked. (also a hint into what is coming)

Convinced a few buddies to join and we (mostly) had a great drive all over Malibu. Met at the base of Topanga Canyon, stupid Frito Lays truck ruined the pic! lol

First stop at Stunt Road

I hit 103k which means I'm only at 3k miles since I bought it. That needs to improve in '24
![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53437138678_57c9646d54_b.jpg)
Eventually broke off with a good friend from Orange County who made the trek because he had been itching to drive in Malibu. FYI That Z3 has a funny story behind how he ended up with it... story for another day

On the way back down, it was so beautiful we had to stop and take a pic. Love my backyard!

Normally I dont take pictures of myself, but my buddy asked and Im glad I said yes. Great pic IMO

I'll be in LA first few days of February! Would be fun to meet up and go for a drive. Still figuring out my car situation but flying in Feb 1st. I've done many of those canyons around Malibu on my bike. Lot's of mouth breathing but fun

@plpete84 Definitely hit me up when you fly in. I'm not far from LAX actually, maybe I can be your Uber and grab you from the airport if you're solo LMAO
@Junkrat I miss the blue accents also, but it screamed a little too much "LOOK AT ME I DRIVE A PORSCHE" ... and certain elements weren't done to a high quality. Plus theres a whole thing about making the car 'mine' ... theres still some changes coming and I hope you hang around for it!
