Awesome, Jeff! I can't believe they refused the car, though. I would be so tweaked! Maybe you can find out where it is and they'll let you sleep in the truck.

I find that hard to believe. Most dealers have secured holding areas for new and recently repaired cars. To have the car sit on a truck for a couple of days is insane. The trucker has a schedule to meet. For all we know Mike's car could be on the same truck and he is now headed to SF with the LA car on the truck. Sounds implausible. But what do I know.

Just went to McKenna and saw their black GT3...amazing - sold already. Car looks great - salesman showed me pics from delivery last night - truck filled with GT3's - the truck had apparently just come from Auto Gallery and dropped off theirs, and probably my dealer this morning...anyways, waiting til Monday now. Really excited.

Me too...sounds odd - but their service/receiving area is closed on weekends, so you never know...but weird for sure...

Nick has a good point. Jeff, you didn't happen to see two red GT3's in the pics of that transporter, did you; one for me and one for MaxLTV?

Can appreciate your excitement!

Ha! I actually saw a pic of a red and a sapphire blue in the transporter but not sure about the destinations...could easily have been a second truck with mine on it. It was one of those covered Waggoners trucks. Looked cool with all those GT3's, though!

Here is a pic of the black GT3 that is at McKenna - $157k msrp. So excited for mine. In black, it is a really nice car.

Mckenna's porsche has 4 gt3 coming, but somehow only 1 arrived. I spoke to them and they said the rest will probably be here next week.

That car is equipped with the front nose lifter but did not notice if it was activated when backing in...probably, though.

I saw two GT3's side by side one with LED and the other regular lights. LED's look bug-eyed because the oval shape of the headlights. IMO, regular lights looked a lot better.
