Default My GTS was featured on Wheelwell today.

Some of you may know Wheelwell, the tuning and garage community site operated in part by Matt Farah from /DRIVE and The Smoking Tire.

They asked me to feature my car and I obliged. So here are my 30 seconds of internet fame.

That's awesome. Love the GT2 Buckets and the rest of the mods. What seats did you have prior (Adaptive Sport Seats, Regular?) and how do they compare?

Beautiful car and great mods. Love the GT2 seats.

I think you should do a new photo shoot with your new E88's. It looks absolutely gorgeous with those.

hard to be a sports car lover in a city with the most uninspiring roads of all time. not that hard though.

I had the sport seats. and if this were a daily driver I'd rather have those. The buckets are comfortable but I can see myself getting tired of ingress and egress at my height if I had to do it a couple times a day. smaller folks really have no problem with these though.

I agree! I have a few nice pics coming, just haven't found time to put a post together yet. My photographer friend is putting me on his calendar for May, so we'll see what comes of that too.

Thanks for the nice compliments all and I'm happy to be a part of this community.

^^^Thanks guys.

Looks like they also sent an email blast to Wheelwell members.

But based on that subject line, they need get their 911 generations straight:
