Great news Dennis. Could you post a full shot of the steering wheel? I don't know if I have ever seen that one. Thanks, Randy

Here it is! This photo was just taken in my warm, toasty garage (as opposed to my frigid driveway, where it's currently -1 degrees F!).

To hell with the 996 interior. I see those all day on this board. I want to see more of that toasty garage interior! Beautiful wood-panel garage door; anally organized pegboard tool storage. What else is there?

File this under "better late than never," right?

OT: those pedals... where are they from?

Dennis, your garage looks sooooo neat. Oh, and the interior looks good also. Stay warm.

I bought the pedals at www.suncoastparts.com. They were pretty inexpensive and I really like them.

Beautiful interior Dennis (both the car and garage). Sorry to hear about the weather. Heading to Winter Park in mid-Jan. Hope it warms up just a bit by then.

Regarding the pedals, are those the ones where you drill the holes yourself? I have been thinking about those as well.

Yup. You have to drill for the brake and clutch pedals. I believe the gas and dead pedals allow you to simply attach the new pedal with screws only, no drilling required.

Don't be sorry about the weather - it has been awesome! We got a huge dump of snow, including the major ski resorts in the area. I think I'm going to leave work early tomorrow and go up to Breck.

Wheel looks great Dennis thanks for the pic. BTW I love Breck and have been there many times. Might go back this year also. The snow sucked so bad last year I have withdrawals.

Last year was the worst year in Breck in 25 years. The base there is already bigger than it was all of last year. I can't wait to get back out there. I've only been to Keystone so far this year.
