Any points needed for the McLaren 720S? Can Porsche points be used for that instead? I have one point so far, maybe two because some people consider me likable.

I will be keeping Porsche of Fresno in mind for my future purchases. It's not too long of a drive from the Bay Area, really.

Completely off-topic but i just found this thread and saw your account.

Wanted to say congratulations on your great career in baseball, CJ. Always admired you when you play against my teams (Phillies/A's). Looking forward to seeing your new career in racing take off!

CJ - this is truly awesome. All I ever wanted was the ability to build a relationship with a dealer where I could be treated fairly. Your fantasty draft idea is great. I'll look forward to being part of it when /if a certain other GT car is made. First call for any new Pcars will be to Fresno.

Given how many people want to support you, I'm wondering if a car carrier doing rounders around CA would pay for itself for service and delivery

I'm a 2-pointer. Can I submit my order now?

You should save one car for the lowest point person on the list, kinda like how they used to give a car to the last player drafted in the NHL All-Star team draft, as a consolation prize.

Most people would consider me a 1 pointer.

Some of the stealerships in CA have no shame. I rather pay to trailer my car for service at a good guy dealer than give a nickel to any of the blood sucking vampire stealers like Auto Gallery.

Why can't all dealers be like this? Kudos to CJ.
(hoping that the bay area is 'local', LOL)

How many points is that worth? And are there points for having a Brazilian wife?

BTW, like your approach. Hopefully Porsche takes notice and feeds you allocations.

Kudos to you. I wish you a lot of luck in your business ventures. I hope people buy a ton of cars from you. There are way too many dealers out there that screw the enthusiasts.

When I'm ready to buy another Porsche used or otherwise I'll check with you first!

I always try to support my dealer with all my service and mods, but this last time it got pretty ridiculous. Spent a lot of service $ on all three of my Porsches there over the past few years, but I doubt that'll factor into the equation with regard to a GT3 allocation. If I'm not able to get a GT3 anywhere and decide to buy a different Porsche model, I'll be giving CJ a shot at selling me that car.
