Default I finally did it, joined the GT3 club.

Looked at several cars and finally chose this one. 04 GT3 - midnight blue/blk, full leather, RS wing, carbon fiber mirrors, tequipment roll bar (I know, kind of wimpy), new pads, rotors, windshield, tires. CPO from the dealer.

This is one sweet car. Very different from my TT. Although the TT is still dear in my heart. I'll always miss the TT.

Here are some pics:

Eric,

The painted counsel to match body color is really sharp. Will we see this on Saturday 4-20-06?

Thanks for sharing.

what is there to learn?
right pedal makes it go.
middle pedal makes it stop.
the round thing you hold makes it turn.

the right pedal, with reduced pressure also makes it turn, usually turn faster than if it had pressure ;-)

the left pedal is to reduce unwanted noises while you shift, LOL.

Fongster told me the left pedal is what you press when you spin.
