No, actually, I'll admit here in front of everyone, a nice man who crushes people's dreams informed me at the C&C event that my wing is not the real deal. It's also not adjustable. It's bolted into the place where the normal spoiler lifts. I believe yours is one piece?
Anyway... This is like the beginning of a thriller movie where one statement sets in motion a very expensive hunt.

I guess the good news is that if you ever wanted to go back to stock (like, say, you developed a massive brain tumor that affected your ability to tastefully appoint a vehicle), all you need is the correct insert.
The car looks good to me. The adjustable feature is cool, but damn is it a pretty piece of kit. I know it's not "correct," but the MKII wing sets off the 996 better than the other Porsche and aftermarket wings. The taco wing is awesome, but I like the MKII just a wee bit more. The additional curves on the taco wing make the whole package a little too swoopy for my tastes, but driving a 996 with either wing beats driving a Prius or a Malibu...

F6M had high hopes about you based on your posting and online persona. I explained the country club life....

My online persona and real life persona are one in the same. You've met me in person so you know that. I just hope you told everyone how handsome I am....

He wouldn't shut up, and the more he drank, the more uncomfortable became the adjectives. It was kinda cute, but definitely in a "one-of-those-grown-men-carrying-a-Japanese-body-pillow-in-public" way.

Is that a bacon-wrapped croissant? I was unaware that Filipinos have perfected the hitherto-unknown art of pork-wrapped pastry. Why was I not made aware of this invention sooner? So much lost time. *sniff*

What a good time RR 2017 was! Thanks to Mykita (the peace sign loving guy), Mike (not pictured; left after C&C) et al for organizing this.
Here's the rogue's gallery at lunch in Overton NV after the Valley of Fire run.

Thanks for posting that pic Eddie!
Few cliff notes.
I still have about 30 RR 2017 flyers left. If anyone wants them for memento or just to hang around, PM me your addresses and I will send you 5 or however many you want.
I am really happy with how this turned out, and that we were able to get so many different yet like-minded people together.
And again, thanks to everyone for coming and making this happen.

Now, given how much flammable liquid you consumed over the course of the weekend, that might be what you meant, in which case I hope to God you had an XBox or two in your room...
But you know what they say about stuff that happens in Vegas..."

Krap!
That red pen of yours has to go! I was lucky that I could even put a thought together, let alone a sentence. I've been drinking water all day and still don't feel right. Perhaps because the only thing in water is... water. I just got home tonight.
And Dr. Strangelove, you called it on the Trump Hotel. The train horn was clearly audible from within my room on the 35th floor. I chose that place because it's not a casino and thought I'd get some peaceful rest there. Nope, didn't happen. Great room, beautiful interior throughout the hotel, but I can't recommend that anyone stay there. Bummer.
