Hi, All -

I've been on the hunt for a more fun daily driver for a few months now (criteria: NA, RWD, MT), focusing on a few different generations of GT3s. When I came across this gorgeous 2018 991.2 GT3 in PTS Oslo Blue--with just 1,200 miles--I knew it was the one and jumped on it. No PCCBs or buckets, but for this car, I'm ok with that. Other than that, I love the silver wheels, the leather steering wheel with only a stitched "stripe" at the top center, and all the leather and Alcantara everywhere else. I created an album with additional pictures if you'd like to see more.

Purchased from Hennessey Porsche in Atlanta, who is doing PPF and tint for me before shipping. I should have late this week if all goes well! This is my first porsche, and while I have already been scouring the forums, I'm looking forward to getting to know the community and car much better!

Enjoy! I recommend Harbison Canyon and thereabouts for engaging canyon drives in San Diego. I would exit Greenfield on 8 west and then head up the hill and into the backcountry there. Great drive!

Looks great! Congrats. Hope you take it to Rancho Sante Fe C&C as my friends who live out there always send me pics of the various GT3’s.

I've taken my 458 spider, but now I'll have options! I'll have to scope out the GT3 crew.

Thank you for this, as I'm always looking for new drives. When I want twisty roads, I'll usually head up to Rancho Santa Fe, then past that to Highland Valley Road a little north of Poway. Great curves, just often get stuck behind minivans and such....

Congratulations on your first Porsche-she is a beauty.
As a Porsche newbie, you jumped right in with a GT3; no messing around with entry-level cars! I made sure I got an all-day driving lesson with a professional racer when I added a 991.2 GT3RS WP to my 718's. You might consider that, too, depending on your level of experience. (Maybe you are a race car driver, too.)
Have fun with your new "monster." (My 3RS plate is "MONSTA." )
Be safe & enjoy!

Congrats on the .2! There’s a group of 15-20 of us from San Diego that get together for drives a few times a month. It’s a good group of people, mostly GT3 and RS owners. Some of us go to rsf cars and coffee on Saturdays. Hope to see you around!

Car looks amazing! Love the blue and a fan of the 458 spider too. It’s next on my list when I’m able to swing it.
