You can PM me if you like. Can share my personal experience which has been nothing but delightful. Zac and Mike run a terrific operation which includes more than just the joy of driving their cars. There are so many other aspects and social events (group drives to Montreal F1, LI vineyards, usual Thu happy hours, aircooled P-car stripdowns as part of learning workshops with their mechanics, 3rd party sponsorship events, etc.)

As an FYI, sadly they lost their lease on what was a splendid facility, and will be moving to Brooklyn
1) If you miss the social interaction you can still get a monthly membership there without the cost of points for the cars. This will enable you to stay involved socially (Happy Hour, Mechanics classes, go-karting,etc). It's about $200/month including taxes.
2) people have been anticipating a Brooklyn location for a while but officially the location has not been announced and the popular thinking right now is that they will be remaining in Manhhatan, albeit not at that location.

Congrats again and it was nice seeing you yesterday! Your car is beautiful and of course you know I am partial to Guards!

This is my photographic interpretation of your beauty

Thanks, man! Appreciate the nice picture. It was great to see you as well. We'll have both GR beauties together for a photoshoot soon ...

I would like to experience driving other sports cars and it appears that I can enjoy doing that monthly for "about the same price as an NYC garage". I've been listening to their chats on youtube when I drive home from work. I've been very interested bc of the drives and events. I'd def love to hear your personal experience. Planning on attending any local meets this spring? Or the Porsche Preview at the NY Auto Show on the 25th?
I'm glad they're going to stay in Manhattan as I'm relatively close to their location.

Yes please! Just not April 9 since I'll be on a roadtrip to my sister's wedding. Congrats on the new car btw!

Beautiful!!!!! Congrats! Now I can't wait to receive my GR GT4! I've been going back and forth with GR and CR and I'm glad I went with GR!! GR is especially hard to capture on camera and pics never do it justice. Can't wait for one of our big get togethers.

Ahh nice! That's even closer as I live on the West Side. It's like a 15min drive.

How is everyone?

Looks like this rain will wash away the last of the road salt for us!

My thoughts exactly, Pete. Planning to get out later this week. Have to kill a few hundred, then will drop the oil.

**Edited, answered my own question**

Bring the rain! Dropped off the car this morning for some spring prep and I think the car was cleaner than when it left the garage

Haha, nothing exciting. Just the first oil change, SRF, corner balance, and alignment for more camber. I could see next winter though being a good time for more power.

FYI, they just got in a new AG GT4 to compliment the 4L and do some comparisons test between the stock and modded GT4s. Not sure if that will eventually be for sale but it was looking real clean sitting in the showroom next to the 4.0....

Nice! I may go there for my first oil change and for future header/exhaust install as well. I normally go to Bodymotion but DeMan is 30min closer.
