Check it out.





I haven't been around much b/c the **** to shine ratio here has been pretty bad for a while. I don't care about the 14 v. 15 issue; they are the same car. I don't want a 997 GT3 variant as I've already had one. I don't care that there are currently 249 ebay 991 GT3's selling at 50% off MSRP. I have no need to be a paddock yanker going on an on about the heritage of my mezzer motor.

I just want my car.

That is all.

Nice! What was your original build date and when do you expect to get it?

umm, hate to say it but your ship is going to San Diego Frayed! It is on the wrong side of the canal. You need these guys to drop your rig in Houston

Congrats--at least an end is in sight for you, Frayed.

Yeah, I know. Weird huh? Both Austin cars through Beasley are coming into San Diego. A week apart.

Yeah, that is really odd. I was thinking maybe after San Diego, they would head toward Houston. Either way, I am happy for you that the endless waiting is almost over and the real fun will soon begin. And Austin could really use a couple of GT3s to liven things up; how many Teslas can a guy bear?

jesus christ this town crawls with hybrids driven by hippy do-gooders clogging the left lane at 10 under with their mpg bumper sticker. Makes me want to bump them off the road. Now, teslas weenies.

Glad Austin didn't get the tesla gigafactory.

About freakin' time! We've missed you but your reasoning as usual is sound....car should be in your hands soon.

@Frayed Where's your new ride? I haven't seen a GT3 in all of Austin, and I have been on the look out. I heard your swap was taking place at San Diego port, but has it shipped to you yet? Man, Porsche really knows how to drag this all out!

I had the wrong boat. It was on the vega leader. But anyway, the ship has landed and apparently the engine was swapped. I was suppose to be released from port on Friday.

But I'm in Mendoza Argentina right now getting hammered on Malbec. So I'm not sure what's happening. I don't think it's at the dealer yet; if it gets there this week, I'll pick it up on Monday.
