To your other point, mine won't add to the SB tally. I'm going LO
I Love Lava Orange. That would have been my color if I could have gotten PTS. But then again I may have had to give up some other options. So I think it will work out well.

My shark blue CGTS' start production date is 11/19. You may have a point there...

Shark Blue is a great color and it looks awesome in this picture. Love how it shows the various hues all over the car.
Can't wait to join you in the new year.

Satin platinum. I have owned cars with either silver or black wheels, and I reeeally wanted something in between this time.

Default I got my first baby photo

I knew my car had completed production a few days ago but today I got the official email letting me know my car was built. So I jumped on My.Porsche and it was all updated and on the Discover your current phase button I found my photo and VIN#. I have been dreaming about buying my first Porsche for so long and even after placing my order and getting an allocation it still didn’t feel real until today.

It’s actually a very high resolution photo so it was easy to zoom in and confirm MICHELINS.

I remember that feeling!

Regarding the Michelins, my 992 came with Pirelli’s as did my BGTS. I’ve been a total Michelin snob for decades, and honestly, I am surprised how much Pirelli’s have improved.

I thought all GT4 come with cup Michelin tires, it's the GTS that is hit or miss.
