These cars will be emblazoned in history. Fewer and fewer cars like this will be produced by any manufacturer. Amazing color combo. Drive it. Track it. Connect!

We will have to peer pressure Rich into taking the R onto the track on the 14th, you know I would track it if I had one.

Congrats Rich, If I see it on the road driving around LA, I'll be sure to wave! Beautiful color combo.

100 percent agreed. The R is special letter for us Porschephiles!

I try other brands from time to time but the joy I get from Porsches is genuine and real.

I had the opportunity to drive a friend's and it was bliss... pure mechanical balance.

Enjoy your new machine.
If car arrives in LA on time I will bring to BW on the 14th.

Better wire first thing Monday.

Congrats Rich! Would be interested to hear a comparison between your TTS and the R.

Was the dealer you dealt with Spencer Berke by any chance? Cool guy.

Congrats on your 911R. I'd leave the green stripes myself but I know you prefer black cars. Alternatively, I'd be tempted to replace the green stripes with medium gray or silver.

Unless you think you are going to have it forever, and your history (or mine for that matter) does not suggest that, I would just leave it as is.
