I have a long list of people willing to live in the Car Barn and maintain it for me. Luckily, I can store enough cars for my friends over the winter to help pay the heating bill. I also get a lot of solicitations from adults for me to adopt them. Never knew there were so many 30+ year old orphans in the world.

I picked up my '10 GT3 yesterday - very few miles due to rain today.
What is the best way to bed in the brakes?

There is a procedure Total 911. Three sets of runs are required. You basically make a set of 15 runs from 100mph braking down to 50mph. The braking pressure and cooling off time between each run varies for each set. I have the specifics at work. I'll try to post them Monday night.

Thanks for the pictures, your space looks fantastic!! I am in the middle of trying to design my space working with an architect, but after getting a few price quotes from builders I may just buy a piece of property and build my dream house. I thought now would be the perfect time to do it since a lot of these guys are slow on work...

BBTurbo-beautiful car.. Can you tell me, without telling exact numbers, if you were able to get a deal on the GT3? Can they be gotten for less than MSRP at the point?

I paid sticker for the car. But the dealer actually went up higher on the trade in of my 07 Turbo than he originally quoted. So I was very happy with my net price. I think you can definitely pick one up under MSRP until the models with dynamic engine mounts and the lift system come out.

Yep, nothing wrong with black and PCCB's!

Nice looking GT3.

That garage is really stunning and with such great options!

OK, I'll be the first to ask the "Tim Allen" question. Does it have a drain?

Enjoy the new toy and if I had that garage the wife would have my pic on a milk carton.
