Well, I took a little roadtrip this weekend. After renting a room and commuting back and forth from Sacramento to OC for a whole year, I finally got my own shoebox down here.
I said farewell to my shop access in Sac, as I managed to get in one last oil and spark plug change Friday night, and onto the trailer the GT3 went. As a note, the U-haul trailer works very well with some 4x4s and x2 boards for a narrow-body GT3. I only had a half inch of clearance at the rear axle, so a widebody car just wouldn't fit at all.
My first time pulling a trailer - ever. Went well, although the wind did not sleep and I-5 was a game of frogger with 5 foot tall tumbleweeds. Hilarious watching frantic econo-boxes trying to dodge the weeds as if they were stones.
All moved in...sort of...and looking forward to being more active in the SoCal Porsche community! Day 1 - no complaints about my stereo - great success.

Those 88db/1w/1m gallos have overheated my amp many times. Still waiting for that great deal on some krell fpbs to come up on audiogon ![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
They really come to life with the second low-pass amp driving the second voice coils.

LOL I was going back and forth on the I-5 the past few days and I dodged tons of tumbleweeds as well.
BTW now I know the owner of the Uhaul with GT3 I saw on the road!
Small World. I'm with PCA San Diego/Grand prix and Porsche Owners Club for my track fix. Check them out n good luck!

Serge, welcome to the OC. Were you by chance driving up Jamboree past the back bay yesterday afternoon (5ish?)
There are a few Rennlist GT3 owners out here. Maybe I'll see you at C&C one of these days.
Cheers,
Daniel - 996 GT3

That was me. Small world, huh! I lived on the Newport Beach peninsula for a year, and haven't really seen many GT3s driving around on the streets. An arctic silver 996 gt3 was my most frequent sighting.
