Lots of snobs down this way, as evidenced by all the Lambos and Ferraris on South Florida roads.

I Went to a cars and brunch thing at Champion Porsche today. Great event by great folks. They have a TON of GT3RS on the showroom floor as does Porsche West Broward, so the exclusivity of a GT3, for the new models anyway, is not so much. I parked next to a 996GT3 so I was happy.

Yeah, using the worst airline in the world to experience the fastest roads.

When I bought the car (used) it had the stripes at the bumbers already and ugly "GT3CS" decals on the doors. I asked the dealer to replace the (anyway wrong) decals on the doors by PORSCHE lettering - and they just delivered what I wanted.
