Oh is it just a regular emblem or is it a steering wheel specific emblem?

Not much new going on. Just trying to drive the car when I can. I did finally swap the stock rear diff back in. I'm still 50/50 on the car with/without gears. I think the better choice is highly dependent on the roads you're driving. The gears aren't nearly as bad on the highway as one would think. I really like how close 2-3-4 are but 2nd often times feels too short with the gears. I think if I could custom ratio the gearbox I'd have stock 1-2, shortened 3-5, stock 6.

Went for a good 4 hour drive Saturday with one of my neighbors. Always on the hunt to find some new roads.






997 GT3 is the dream car for me so it's fun to lead/follow and see how the too really compare. It's pretty obvious when we get to more open roads the GT3 easily pulls away but on good tight and twisty roads you really don't have an advantage in that car.

I never thought of it this way, but you know what, it makes total sense.

Pictures I forgot about from the last time I got out for a longer drive. Nothing else new with the car. Just trying to drive more and enjoy it.

That's my motto, buy less parts, drive more and enjoy! I really like that second pic (and not because the car isn't in the shot lmao).
