I'm sure this has been posted before but it's a great video on the 991.

Waiting sucks today.

Here's a shout out for Sharkwerks, who kindly included me in group buy pricing and even nice enough to wait for payment until I get a new credit card in a couple of weeks. It's a new business card and I need to spend $10k in three months for 100,000 reward points and I'm trying to time the application so I can keep spending into January 2015. Long story short, these guys rock. And, from reviews from forum members and videos including these, I'm looking forward to delivery and install.

This is what people waiting for delivery do to pass time.

GOD NO KIDDING. My build went from $147K to $165K incrementally in like 6 different events. I'm taking my salesman to lunch tomorrow because I know I have driven him crazy. But hey, If were are going to drop this kind of coin on a ride like this, it has to be perfect right!? Oh, and yea, It's ALL rennlists' fault.

Shouldn't your salesman be taking you to lunch?

He's been lights out on all my Porsche needs. I don't think I would have gotten my allocation if it wasn't for him. I'd given up completely and then...the call. Besides. McDonalds is the least I could do.

I used to love Chris Harris videos. But, I refuse to pay $3.99 per month for /Drive+ for the very little content it offers compared to Netflix at $7.99 per month for enormous content. Yes, I can afford it, but that is not the point. Evo, Motor Trend, all the big guys offer fabulous videos on YouTube and have a business model that doesn't take away from those videos.

Given /Drive channel only has three minute videos, I cancelled my YouTube subscription. That said, this Chris Harris video was done before the changes and is in my opinion, the second best review of the GT3. We've all seen it, and I try to post fresh content when I can but, it deserves to be today's "I'm waiting for my GT3 and need something to do, watch or read post." Enjoy it, again.
