why does Porsche install such ugly wheels? My SC wheel was a double wrap so it was all comphy but I think it belonged on a school bus.

I bought the original one, which is not as nice as a Momo but much nicer as the one I sold.
Now at least I have the original one in case I ever decide to sell (not likely)

I considered one like that but decided I liked the extra padding and thumb reliefs of the Comp

Do you have enough clearance between the wheel and the top of the dash??

I moved my wheel out 3.5 inches. I bought the 1.5 inch adapter with the wheel and installed an additional 2 inch spacer on top of that. I am 6-4 and only have a 32inch inseam, so all my height is in my torso. The wheel allows me to slide my legs under it, and lean the seat back far enough to get my punkin outa the roof and still be able to comfortably reach everything. The only drawback is that the stalk switches are a good stretch from the wheel but having big hands it is okay for me

3,5 inches... that's a lot.
I think I won't be needing as much. (I'm six feet but not proportionally impaired... )

Gotta go, c ya later!

I keep my car in a nice climate-controlled garage of my father's, which is a two hour drive away. I don't have room for both cars in my garage here.

I just gotta be sure there won't be any more snow before I start daily driving it again. Azenis' + snow = one wadded up car.

I also need to do my belt service. Not looking forward to that.

storm coming in from France... it's wet outside, alreadylot's of wind...

the SpecOps Varmint-O-Cide squad has notificied me that there will be no bodycount today, they had a little pow-wow and notificed me they plan to lay low, close to the stove...

I do expect some inter-Squad fighting when the blood-lust surfaces..
Blood lust, must be satisfied... I hope the storm doesn't last to long... they might turn on me.

Lanna lives in a climate controled garage as well, and she won't be out till all the sand and salt are off the roads, and the temps are up. RA1's+cold=not good

i am jonesing all the time, now. i did get the 951 out of the garage yesterday, but chose jezebel instead. some twit was trying to race me on his harley. LOL. and then some donut was trying to get me to race on state street, riding a CBR600RR, which has roughly twice the HP as jezebel. when he realized i wasn't going to bite, he started doing wheelies with cars around and stuff.
