love the rear of the 997.2 car, and the sport seats are awesome. but i cant get passed the wheels.

I'm still debating what to do with the 07 since prices are rather soft now. The wheels look better in person than in photos but I agree with you. I didn't get the center locks for practical reasons. I expect to mount aftermarket wheels soon.

IMO, the PDK takes all the skill out of driving and I feel really bad for kids generation, they have no clue what they will be missing when they are old enough to drive.

They said the same things about indoor plumbing, furnaces, electric stoves, ABS and every other technology advance. I love technology for its ability to amplify my natural abilities. Driving still takes skill, particularly on the track. I have no problem with "old school" driving but that is exactly what it is. The six speed is dead. Long live the six speed.
