If I had a spare $10K it would go into the fund for the Lange, not on anything to do with the car.

If I had 10K I will buy a Leica M8 with lens or collect more Petrus or DRC.
If you mean for the car I will spend all on DE and tires because I am so far away to drive the car in it's full potential.

I will invest it in Countrywide stocks and wait 5 yrs. Use the money from the re-correction and buy myself a new P-Car w/ trade in.

For immediate gratification, buy your other half some nice gift. Make a reservation in a nice resort + Restaraunt about 2 hrs away. Drive the P-car to the destination on the longest route and enjoy the weekend.

Oh - you mean on the car? :-)
Nice taste in the watch! My wife bought me that exact one not too long ago. I love the orange.

If it's to improve performance on the track, I'd buy GT3 seats.

Otherwise, wheels & maybe exhaust.

Use the funds for a DE event and learn to properly drive the car at its limit.

After, take a trip to the "ring" and get a car to drive there!!!

Damn if I only did Euro delivery with a whole lot of "ring" time. My dream.

Gents I noticed many posts in this thread that referred to getting a new alignment. I have a question. My car is new, only having 350 miles on it. The steering wheel is perfectly level, seems to me to handle great, and the car tracks nicely on straightways...so, I am inclined to think that my alignment is in good shape, as I am only using the car as a daily, street driver. However, even with these positive characteristics, are people on here recommending that ALL new cars should have their alignments recalibrated once you take delivery, as it can even be more improved for daily driving? I guess there is some concern that while the car tracks and handles well, it could have beem "bumped" while on the boat and should be adjusted?

As I write this, I realize this is a post that ONLY a Porsche owner would even consider...most car drivers out there are not that attuned....

Thanks
