Default my gt3 - a video


http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...85920853&hl=en

the sound of this car is unreal.

The video is from the day after I bought the car, I am not even breaking 5k rpm when I 'drive by'. I was in hawaii for the last 2 weeks missing my new gt3

I had a bit of bad luck tonight, was driving it all around so cal tonight to break it in and hit a spot of road where the concrete and asphalt met on the side of the road - it was uneven and the concrete was 4 inches above the asphalt.

This is on sunset - in Beverly hills!

It scratched my rim badly, it was a one in a million shot, as if i was more
left of it - i miss it totally and more to the right and i ride up on
the concrete!

How much do the stock rims cost? I have to buy a new one I think, or I could just leave the scratched one on it. The tire looks 100% fine.

Congrats Greg,

the car looks (and sounds!) great.

With respect to the rim - replace it and have the old one refinished and save it for the future, otherwise it will be your only visible blemish on a perfect ride.

My wife scratched one of my RS4 rims pretty badly this summer and I had to look at it every single day. Finally replaced it with a new one for 750 Euros. I feel better now.

Congrats, Greg!.. Nice video, in regular traffic the car looks so hunkered down compared to anything else out there..... you got it all--the car, the roads, the girl... SY looks incredible esp. w/ PCCB. Enjoy it.
