I think you'll be pleased, it's a lot of fun to drive. It gets a lot of attention. Maybe tomorrow or Monday I can get some pictures. The rain came in and it's supposed to change to snow tonight. Canada, warm in the winter snow in the spring. 🤷‍♂️

Deeply regret... seriously, after a few weeks it is virtually unnoticeable.
Hey, how do I know if I’ve ticked it off ? Or how’s is it called in the config ? I didn’t see this option nor do I see an antenna in the renders, can you or someone verify ? Still got time for my build (hopefully Q1 25’), thanks in advance

I think it’s US spec cars (plus maybe Canada?) only with the wart

You should have lots of time to get this done, I don't see that you have opted for this in your build, it should be code 684 and, in the configurator, looks like this:

Just took it on my first test drive (top down, 55F). Impression: it's an epic car (I am also driving a 991.2 Touring). The sound and fast gear shifts will put a big smile on your face. The short gears make a huge difference. What about the soft top? It is very easy and quick, just takes 2-3 practice sessions, one person is fine. Can't imagine what the car will do and sound like once I am done with break-in miles.

Sunshade is all that is needed even in 40F weather.
I love this car. It's so refined so smooth, so balanced, so easy to play with through a corner. I can't wait to get this thing out to a track or an autocross and make it dance! Wow so addicting!
