keep that part in your misc. box of parts....

it most likely suffered due to previous owner shoehorning a 7-11 big gulp in the cup holder.....

Yes. I see now, it's part of the cup holder.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

My immediate plans are simple:
Tint the windows (mandatory in Vegas)
Figure out a good vanity plate
JackPoint stands so I can swap my wheels
One-on-one time with the PCA instructors at Spring Mtn (I've only ever driven my M Roadster (for sale soon) on the track, so it'll be nice to learn the nuances of the rear engine)

Longer-term:
Consider cage and GT2 seats
Find a good mechanic in Vegas

I'll keep you all posted...

Well - you may be in luck. The Patent for Jackpoint Jackstands will officially issue next Tuesday. To celebrate we're having a sale for one day only - TUESDAY MAY 22nd, 2012! I don't want to hijack your thread so PM or email me for details.

Congrats on the "3".
