Yeah, and MSRP was $96k. And I think that is why these current going markups are alarming to many.

Apparently Porsche is only leasing the 911 S/T to people for 2 years to avoid the flippers and stuff. I don't think that curbs the ADM part of it though.

I like the 6.2L LS3 badge under the SS badge. Pretty cool.

I don't know much about the Hurican and its kit, but that thing looked so sick up close.

The Audi was there and met its new friend. The blue RS6 has quite a few options more than mine (22" wheels (on winter tires), GT suspension, black optics, and after market laser jammer with dash-cam). I really like the laser jammer setup, it's integrated with the front grill, and the info screen is integrated with the overhead switches. Except, I can't afford that right now after the PPF, cool thing was I won the raffle for the ceramic coating at the C&C.

I am thinking of hooking up the crossbars and carry some lumbers next C&C, with some groceries in the trunk.

I preferred the OEM wheels, and the OEM wheels are magnesium wheels too. To each his own I guess.

Well, since the RS6 is the car to have, I ran into one today… which I didn’t realize is owned by the same guy that has a 997 GT3 RS (which he was driving at Sebring when I first met him), and this blue 993 GT… pics below.
my friend’s M2 in the pics as well and I’m the Silver with the nose plug missing. I ended up chatting some with the M5 owner next to me as well, super nice guy.

Honestly, I see a lot of people selling the Boost Blue Type Rs than any other color. I see more used ones in that color. It's a great looking color but if you're not a blue fan, you're not going to like it after a few months.

Here's a shot of a McLaren at a local shop called MSR Performance. Guy makes custom wheels, exhaust, and intakes for BMWs. Host meets every so often. All his BMWs are clean Ms properly fitted. This McLaren, I'll be doing a video on soon. Supposed to be putting down 1000hp.

See I do really like all blues, but I especially like bright, medium blues, so Porsche Shark Blue, Ford Grabber Blue and Honda Boost Blue are some of my favorites. Performance Blue and Mopar B5 are a tad too light to really love.

In my case, I started with Autocross back in 2018 when I got the gt3. The first event, I was a bit too eager and I didn’t even complete my break in period, so I was super slow out there shifting very early and no WOT. In 2023 is when I started going to HPDE with the PCA group at Sebring. I have only done 4 events so far, I’m skipping the summer months, it’s too hot. It took me a while to build up the courage to go to a track. My cousin used to club race and he also often did track days to get more familiar with the track or try different things with the sway bar and suspension. I saw a fair amount of carnage which put me off. Plus, YouTube isn’t short on crash compilation videos from tracks.
In my area there are a few cars n coffee style events and when possible, I attended with my neighbor. There are more events than I could attend, mostly because my kids have tennis or other activities on the weekends in the morning so that’s my #1. If there is an event I really want to attend, I’ll get the wife to take the kids. If they don’t have an activity and there is a car meet, I pick the one that miss-behaved the most and drag him with me. The meet I posted above was Monday night. so no conflicts. The M2 guy next to me in the pictures, I know him from Autocross, he is super fast!

I would love to do a road course, but I don't think I have a good pocket for that. Especially when thing goes side way. I want to step into the Porsche world but not ready yet

Sunday is my only free day currently, and I normally wake up early, so car and coffee is good for me.

Yeah a G-wagon is on my list too. I love boxy things, like the old defender 90, and some of the early 90s Japanese sedans had a pretty blocky look.

No prob. Tell her your car friend (me), is feeling down, and said the only thing that will make him happy, is for you to get a G-Wagen. This, I do for you.

I see this RS6 around town all the time, but usually too slow with the phone to take a pic... I've always loved the RS6 and love that it has the Thule Vector Alpine roof box, which... in my opinion is the best looking roof box! (it's why I also have it on my car, albeit... it looks even more amazing on the RS6)... and Yes, I'll be cross posting this in The Official Wagon/Avant Discussion Thread

Spotted this blacked-out McLaren GTS w/temporary tags out in the wild yesterday. It looked absolutely sinister in my mirrors.

(Please forgive the crappy cell-phone shot. The wife almost killed me for taking this while driving!! Also, the BOGO sign is for fireworks, not the car!)
