Easy Peasy… I’ll post some pics.
Also of the *bonus* Porsche decal that was included.
So what’s the trick to posting pics here?
Do I have to lower the resolution first? (I tried the other day and it didn’t want to load).
Once you figure it out, I will add your picture to the main decal thread Larry and I started. Cant' wait to see it!

We’ll, it worked, thankfully you guys gave me two because I dropped the first “buttered toast side down”
Here’s a pic of it installed, it looks great I think I could have done better centering it.
- Sweet!

I found a better way to fit my bicycle for a long trip. After about 500 miles, it's working great. Minimal rear view obstruction, and both cubbies are accessible. The entire frame now sits forward of the delicate trim piece. I later wrapped the fork end to protect the rear glass.

Nicely done! That's what its all about... I bet people are surprised when you pull up and pull out a full sized bike from your "trunk" ha.
And... what do you have on your OIL/WATER caps?

Missed 3 track events partly due to a constant flood of contractors working to repair tornado damage to my house, and not having a break to get the Cayman in for a proper alignment, so this past Sunday I just threw caution to the wind and went and participated in an autocross with the Nebraska Region SCCA. Since I normally run Pro as the tire warmer for my son I just settled in with 18 other drivers , 7 whom are past National Champions. No, I did not end up dead last, but let's just go with I was the fastest 70+ year old, ha. The alignment issues reared their head and the Cayman drove like an old 911 with one very happy rear end. Still had fun and since I wanted to look semi -official I popped on some old magnetic decals , one of which was quite striking with its red background. Hoping to get the GTS in for a proper alignment soon, and fortunately the house is almost done , so it looks like I will get in quite a few Time Trials this Fall!

Sorry to hear about the tornado damage, good luck getting it all taken care of soon.

I haven't really done much lately. I've barely had it out of the garage this year. #slacker

Chatting with a fellow Cayman GTS owner on Sunday we both talked about the silliest item we had to order on our Porsches and........................we both also have the classy gas cap, ha! It is such a ridiculous example of how far Porsche goes to attempt to jazz up every item or option that I know I had to order it for it's sheer nutso factor!
