I am hoping you own that middle parking space too, as you know, it's a bit of an invitation for vandals.

Yes, thanks for everyone’s concern but I do own all three, in fact four, spots. But the optics aren’t necessarily good, right? Good thing the garage is private.

Sobering and sad for the family. This occurred hours before on the exact GREAT driving road I was on with the RS yesterday. We reached the backed up traffic from the extraction and turned back. Apparently a new model M4. 20 year old driver.

Sorry to post a bummer story but drive safe everyone.

Not a bummer, just life, or the choices we make to end it.

i'm spending more time cycling in the reduced traffic patterns than driving.
though the last 2 weeks traffic IS increasing.

agreed that people with little talent driving cars not well suited for 90+ are infesting our local freeways.

Be safeish.

Sad story.

When I was 17, I totaled a car on that very road. I was enjoying the drive that morning, but decided to turn back when rain began falling. My 17-year old brain didn’t know how much to dial down the corner entry speeds to account for the wet pavement. I understeered into a barrier and then pinballed into the mountain. I walked away with only light injuries, but learned a valuable lesson.

Question

Condor Man,

Would you mind elaborating more on what your take is on the sound of the "Stock-Exhaust" of the GT4 ???
Inside and outside ???
I've watched & listed closely to every video and it seems there are mixed opinions on it.
Especially because of the European New Emissions ...........
It also seems next to impossible to find a concrete answer if the European GT4's have the exact same exhaust as the USA GT4's ???

Last question, is your's a manual or PDK ???
Sorry if I missed that when I read all your above comments ^^^

Thanks,
Terry
