I know we've let the Cybertruck comments die down, but when I took this photo I knew I had to post it here.

That is SUCH an awesome-looking car. I am so glad I have one, too.

None of these pics do these cars justice -
When you see a 718 of any trim or color driving down the road, try not to do a double take! I dare you.

the photos do tend to flatten them, seeing them in person is way better and even better on the move for some reason

Man, I was set on finding a GR or chalk Spyder but the more I see Shark Blue, especially with the red brakes...the most I'm leaning that direction.

My initial build spec was Artic Grey. Then I started leaning towards Chalk. Then I visited PEC ATL for a coffee to kill some time between flights and saw those colors in person and was just underwhelmed.
THEN - after a visit to Toronto and seeing 1000000 P cars of which 999999 were Chalk I was turned off...

In person SB is radiant. During the day when my car is in the garage and the sun is hitting it, the adjacent walls turn blue.

I too had a Chalk build configured prior to my allocation landing and then switched to SB once I saw one in person and never looked back... The color really needs to be seen in person to truly experience it.

It's a great color. My first car was a 2003 VW GTI 20th Anniversary in Jazz Blue. Not as good as SB, but same look. Probably why SB is calling my name.

It's short. Like 9'4". The garage floor slopes so depends where you're measuring.

BendPak 9k. One rolling jack which makes tire/wheel removal a snap.
