Thanks, I know you would have. I've seen plenty of your silly comments about bright colors and touring models. I had a lot of options and went with this because it's the best for me. Zero compromise. To each their own

Bingo - go with what makes YOU happy. As you will see soon, I went with the understated look on my PTS GT3T but I considered some "wilder" colors too, including Bahama Yellow. I saw a recent example of Bahama on IG. It's great to see some variety in the colors and good for you going for a color with some real "pop" for the "under the radar" Touring.

Sweet!
You nailed that spec, Big Envy
Thank you for sharing the pics, although it now makes me really want that color...argh!

Abraham Caracheo has amazing historic knowledge and helped me with suggestions leading to a purchase.

It wasn't easy considering my circumstances and recently buying a PTS GT3 6spd but Signal Yellow has always called me and recently seeing all the pictures of everyone's Touring, I realized that's the car I had to have (with the houndstooth of course!). So I threw logic to the wind and ponied up for my true dream spec.

Hennessy Porsche was amazing working this deal as the middle man again. I'm surprised they put up with my crap, but I love them for it!

Exterior shots are all off my iPhone... look perfect on my phone (true to color), but a little more orange on my computer screen. Not going to bother doing any edits. I'll keep this updated with new pics as we go. Hoping to have it ready for Cherokee casino mountain trip this weekend.





Here I am hanging with my old mistress (green)



Love this interior!

Hard to pass on the Signal Yellow. Such a lovely color. The painted air vents with stitching is awesome touch. Huge congrats!

Thank you! Oh my, that Bahama Yellow looks great. Love that spec. I think the quote I read was the Touring's "reason for being" is to "fly under the radar" -- I believe the reason for a touring is to get rid of the wing not for no one to look twice at the car. Maybe it's to be understated for another person (I'm totally cool with that and appreciate those specs too!), maybe it's to retain the beautiful lines of the car. I just think the wing looks a little cheap personally. I still love the GT3 winged but I don't think the Touring has one specific "reason for being" like some want to push. If I wanted totally understated I wouldn't get a GT3 and save some money.

Yes, they are superstars at Hennessy. Abraham is a great guy, he even used my company to do some work at his house and my personal salesman refers his friends to us all the time. Have to love an "everybody wins" relationship.

Haha, well they are somewhat matching with my shirt but I had to put a hoodie on-- it was a bit windy outside. I always look like I'm about to go workout or go coach baseball practice... my work goal in life was to always be able to wear whatever the hell I wanted. I did the suit and tie thing for a few years and hated it. Maybe because I'm such a boring dresser I like to compensate with some fun shoes. If you think these are bad, I have an entire wall of sneakers; some ridiculous, some less-so. I'm an 80s baby raised in the 90s, what can I say?

Great color! I love your spec and I'm really partial to Signal Yellow since that was my first GT3. You are on the list! (and the 200th one at that!).

Thanks!
