I'm having a hard time trying to find someone to haul mine away.

First time at the track since buying it earlier this year. Road America. Quite a difference compared to my M2. A much more technical car. All good. Day 2 tomorrow!

I spent most of the day puling off GeoJoe's track setup and putting the alignment numbers back to something a little more daily driver tire wear friendly.

What's my percentage of the sales?

I didn't take them all out. She still has about 1.2 degrees in the rear and 1.5 in the front. If they are that valuable I can pick up some 7075, whip up a little code for the mill and a fixture and start cranking them out.

If you do you would most likely find a market for them. The 997.2 and I believe the .1 GT3 along with aftermarket monoballs use the same shims.

Let's go with the same percentage of Trump tariffs plus one point for every thread that whines about how "my GT4 isn't worth what I thought it should be."

The tariffs won't affect the price that much but the "GT4 value tax" would make them unaffordable.

Took it to MotoAmerica at PittRace over the weekend.

As I arrived (going VERY slowly through crowded paddock) a family was crossing in front of the car. A boy (maybe 10 years old) was giving thumbs up and so excited to see the car.

Me: “would you like to get in”?
Boy: runs over to passenger side
Me: “how about driver’s side” (as I exit the car)
Boy: “REALLY???” He got in and pretended to be driving as his parents took pics. So excited! He honks the horn!

There are many aspects of car ownership which I enjoy - but sharing with enthusiasts, especially kids - brings great joy!



^Front straight - getting ready to start a race


^Just before start


^From Spectator Hill


^Hot pit row


^Cool truck


^Lots of big rigs


^Umbrella girls (because it was starting to rain)

Yes it is! He was just 2 and half hours up the road from me. Made it easy.
