Drove about 200 miles on Thursday in Big and Little Tujunga Canyons in one session (needed a double IPA to steady my hand after!):

Added this YouTube video link of the drive. FF to 3:30 and 6:25 to hear Sharky in a tunnel at >7000 RPM. It won't play directly through this post, but click on the picture, then YouTube label which brings up a "Watch on YouTube" option. HD version will be available in a couple of hours, says YouTube.

*To @ADias , please spare me your comments about driving one handed or tire pressure being higher than you prefer/recommend. I am holding an iPhone (and driving 15-25 MPH slower as a result). My pressures were 30/37 cold, but just burned a full tank of gas in 100 miles storming the canyon before recording this vid. This canyon is 2nd gear (6MT) all the way, if one harbors no objection to bumping the rev limiter to save a left handed shift up to 3rd and back down to 2nd. Most of the Angeles Crest Highway is 3rd, at 60-90 MPH. I prefer 2nd gear roads.

Just curious, I own a 997.2 4GTS. Is there any significance to having a VIN number where the last 3 digits end in 911?

Absolutely, you win! Just take your VIN to your local Porsche dealer and collect your prize

Anyone have pics of these wheels painted colors, but the OD ring still silver?
Thinking this would look quite nice, just like the lobsters.

@vaporisator, Bonjour et bienvenue sur Rennlist. Votre cabine a l'air douce, en particulier les pièces de garniture intérieure. J'ai parcouru les Tourrettes-sur-Loop au nord de Nice et le Luberon. La France possède certains des meilleurs circuits routiers d'Europe. Et c'est un grand éloge, en effet. Merci de partager vos photos. Bonne chance et bonne conduite!

@Hootsama , great HST quote in your sig block. I sure miss that guy's prose (and Tony Bourdain's, as well.)

"So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.”

Last Tuesday:

FALILV excerpt

Genius.
