Default Great day today...:)

There is a big muscle car/ rod run next week here in Austin. I am getting some of my muscle cars ready and decided to swap places on the lift with my red Trans AM. I couldn't help myself and took the GT3 for a quick spin. Man, I love this car and makes waiting a bit easier knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel..





I also went over and checked on my new casa that we are building. Can't wait until my new "man cave" is done, it will hold 12 of my babies..

Enjoy in good health! And make sure to post pics of the completed man-cave!

And I must say that it makes waiting a bit easier for me, knowing that someone with such a varied and impressive stable of cars still speaks so highly of the new GT3 even in light of the drama so far.

Thanks, I will post up some pics when the garage/ house is done. With all this negativity on here about this car, I can tell you, it will be worth the wait. I love the way it drives, just driving "normal". I cannot imagine how well it will work on the track. I am on the list for the RS but I plan on keeping the GT3 to drive, even though its a '14 I have the new Huracan on order, it will be interesting to see how that car performs as well. I like the Aventador, but not in love with it and it will go when the Huracan arrives..

Good Grief! Looks like a Steiner Ranch or Barton Creek neighborhood. I'm in Tarrytown where a 2 car garage is a luxury amenity!

can you compare your 991 GT3 runs to driving your 458 Speciale, that is sitting in your driveway?

Always loved that year transam. Is it a Ram 3 or 4. I believe the Ferrari is a Scud.

It's actually at Marisol, right by the Oasis. I will be able to take a short walk to cars & coffee on Sunday..

The red one is a '73 455 w/5 speed. The '70 was the only year 2nd gen Trans Am the was offered with a ram air 3 or the very rare ram air 4. I have a '72 455 HO 4sp car , one of 487 built, a '70 ram air 3 4spd and a '79 T/A 6.6 4spd.

Thanks for the comments guys, I just wanted to say that I it will be worth the wait. The 991 is a fantastic car. My car buddy's that have known me for a long time cannot believe that I am singing the praises of any Porsche, I was never a Porsche guy until I bought my '10 RS 2 years ago after that I was hooked.
