Default How to brighten up a dreary garage

Just put one of these in it

I just bought it Monday. It's my first Porsche. Thanks to those here who answered my questions and offered their cars up for sale.

The particulars: 2011 w/5K miles (previous owner took delivery in Feb. so he actually drove it)
PCCB's(previous owner changed to slotted Brembos), DEM, ***, Nav, Sound Plus, Painted Mirror Attach., Painted headlight washers....Sharkworks Bypass, and no wart!

This is an awesome machine. In fact, some times I don't feel worthy of it. I am so happy to have it though.

Thanks guys! It's hard for a picture to do justice to the Guards Red. It's awesome in person. And I'm sure you all know it but the exhaust note is simply wicked.

Probably going to take it in for clear film next week. It currently has none.

Strikingly similar to your avatar! It's been a fun, fun week.
Keep me posted on your quest for a successor.

Thanks! Hopefully soon...I'll probably start out at Barber since I'm familiar with it and it's so close to home. To be honest, I'm a bit hesitant since there is so much I don't know about tracking. Hell, I may have to just leave it in third until I get some skills....

Nothing wrong with that. Plenty of good instructors out there that will point you the way and keep you safe :-) just take it to a track with a reputable organisation like PCA :-)

You will have ane awesome time. do it!

I see double, but I do have a 900HP GTR in my front yard right now :-) The neighbors will think all the scratches and mud will be part of halloween.
