Nice. Especially the shot with the top down. The rear stripe blends really well with ruby red -- so I'm sure those who have complained about that part of the new design will approve. Congrats!!

Just to touch on a couple of "quirks" with PDK:
1) When the car is wet (rain or snow) and sits outside for a little while, the clutch gets really "sticky". I have given the car some gas only to have it "jump" when the clutch bit finally.
2) You have to give it a second when going from Park to Reverse, then from Reverse to Drive. Otherwise you get some lovely clutch smells...

Yep. That's right. I tended to leave it in auto mode (regular or sport) and not worry about it. That will keep it below 4200 rpm for you. Just watch it in manual mode and you'll be fine. I bet you'll get there much quicker than I as I had to wait for over a month to have my driveway curb replaced (too high) with stamped concrete. I'm sure many will say I was overly conservative, but I wanted to go by the book. Making up for it now...

Eh... I am not buying it. I followed the break-in procedure to a "T" with my 997.1, but I started hammering it after 1K miles this time. Also, it's a good idea to vary revs - keeping under 4K rpm doesn't leave much "variance". To each his own, but I'll keep doing the "normal" break-in vs. the overdone break-in.
