Yeah, I test drove one. It wasn't enough time, but it gave me the basics.

I'm a bit of a Mac freak, as you can tell from my avatar (which mixes in two of my other obsessions). I had After Dark at day one.

FWIW, I'm also obsessed with Frakkin' Toasters. My Steam account name is FrakkinToaster. Anyone get that reference?

True but it can and has been done (Exclusive options I believe and XDZ for the gearshift front); looks beautiful when done right, imo.

Park Place Porsche in Dallas has 2 new white GT3s (MSRP 127k, 130k). Offer them 115k and see where it goes. They have 3 GT3s and an RS. With the used market right now these cars aren't going anywhere so there may be a deal to be had. If not, good used ones around. Hey wait...didn't I tell you not to get a GT3?! Oops.
