Default Some pics of the car










It was a an uncharacteristically warm 60 degrees the day I picked up the car. Now its put away for storage Cant wait for spring. This is going to be a painful winter - a long wait indeed.

Painful? Man, that is tortuous. Drive it at least until the snow flies.

Congrats. Looks great. Having to hibernate it for the winter so soon after buying it, that sucks. I hope the winter goes by fast for your sake.

Get my 2011 guards red one next week (or week after due to holidays)...
I live in Iowa (for now...) and the winter will suck more than usual! We don't have snow yet so I'll drive it for a bit to break it in if no snow is present. I may do some track time somewhere south this winter. Hoping to move to DFW area this summer so I may check out some tracks in Texas prior to then.

Great car! Love the black GT3 graphics. Enjoy!

I find it disconcerting that the TSA screening questions now include "Do you 'dress' left or right?" and "Hi, so, do you come here often?"

I fail to see the "security" advantage to justify why airline passengers are treated the same as convicted criminals in prison wards.

How can such "Draconian" strictures become law without so much as a moment taken to ask the people if that's the next wildly expensive (and humiliating) degradation we're prepared to suffer?

The real problem is that the TSA employee's come with the government arrogance and attitude.
Kinda linke going to the DMV, post office or your local building department. Except these guys really grab you by the *****.

Oh starting Jan 1st. I kicked out my tenant and I have an 4000sqft warehouse available near Homestead, PBIR, Daytona and Sebring.
How many GT3's would fit?

Try being an all american infant with an arabic last name like my dangerous 2 yr old in a stoller a few years back, when it was deemed necessary but regrettable that he be frisked by TSA reps, when he outsmarted them all by dropping da Bomb rite then
