Default anyone notice the GT3 in the mirror

When driving along have you noticed the GT3 in your rear view mirror?
its the reflection off the GT3 in the carpet in the back.

I think that pretty cool.

I stare at that all the time. Yes, I also think it´s a neat little feature, most likely totally by chance.

I dont know. the sun would have to be right . then you would have to remember to have the camera when it comes into view. BUT it happens quite often. You have seen this effect before. When
the reflection off the part of the mirror that is the nite view, also comes into view when you have the
day view flipped up. In this case the reflective nite view comes up and its shows the GT3 emblem from the back seat area. Its the reflection from the back seat.

I think it's unnecessary bling in a car that doesn't need any and it's also a bit distracting.

Sure, but only on my cool-down laps

I always liked the little Porsche logo in the window that looks correct when you look in the rearview mirror because it is backwards when looking at it from inside the car.

But that is nothing new I'm sure. I'm just trying to be a part of the conversation.

It should show up if it is relatively dark outside the car, and a strong light is shining on the GT3 logo inside the car. Easiest way to see it would probably be at night, shine a strong flashlight on the logo.
