Hey Nick:

How many more hours till W-Day??

I'll have to look at the video again, but most of the Porsche GT2/3 cars have a yellow mark on the steering wheel to "mark" the 12:00 position.

Interesting. Seems to me you should know which way you're pointed. Do any of you guys need a mark to get yourself straight when you get out of shape?

Now see, I like that idea. Then I'd know if I was upside down.

bmuss,

One week from tomorrow

My fiance left for Las Vegas yesterday for her bachelorette party. She returns Monday and we leave for Texas on Tuesday ( we are getting married in beautiful Abilene, TX ).

Appearantly in Texas you need to get the marriage license 72 hours before the wedding ( Illinois is only 24 hours ) so we need to get that taken care of Wednesday even though the wedding isn't until Saturday.

We are having my bachelor party downtown tomorrow night. First we are racing high speed go-carts ( http://www.chicagoindoorracing.com ), then off to the city for cake and cookies

Just hope I'm coherent enough Sunday to watch the Bears beat the snot out of Miami

Nick

Here is what the steering wheel looks like. I have no appreciation for the yellow mark at 12:00. There must be a "racing" reason:

Bmuss,

So, is the 911 Carrera GT3 RS now off your list, or will you just get a new steering wheel
