Default My GTS - Journal

Hello all,

So like others around here I decided to start a small journal about my new Porsche. I will add to it, as time goes on.

This will be my first Porsche, and owning a 911 has always been a dream for me, it is actually on my bucket list. So I will be looking forward to crossing it off when she finally gets delivered in January.

Dealer is telling me that the car's ETA is January 9th.

----------------

October 22, 2014 - Order is locked in. Early December build.

It is huge relief that I can't change the build anymore, I was losing sleep at night fretting over the options. This is the build that I ended up with. I did go over my limit, but not by too much.

2015 Carrera GTS

U2 - GT Silver Metallic
487 - 7-speed Manual Transmission
435 - 20-Inch 911 Turbo S Wheel, painted in matt black
030 - PASM Sport Suspension
AZ - Black leather interior
P06 - Power Sport Seats (14-way)
P3E - Premium Package Plus
P3H - Bose Audio Package
602 - Full LED headlights
638 - Park assist with camera
653 - Glass Sunroof
712 - Deletion of GTS on side doors
XAJ - Side skirts painted
581 - Luggage net passenger footwell
583 - Smoking package
844 - Multi-function wheel
XSC - Porsche crest on headrests
EGA - Carbon interior package
XHM - Center console in carbon trim

Here is an image that helped inspire me with the build.




More to follow...

Congrats Larry.

How stupid is it that we've let Porsche get us so excited for the honor of giving them $150k! Oh well. I'm pretty juiced about it too.

The wait!!!

Eventually it comes, and it's worth the wait to get your spec'ed car. Enjoy the anticipation!

Larry, great news on your build date. Double anticipation -- the new beaut and ED!
