Default It's finally here (2015 CWM in NorCal)

After nervously tracking the ship for what it seemed ages my white-metallic 2015 GT3 (18 way seats) arrived earlier this week in the Bay Area. After clear-bra and backup-camera got installed I finally picked it up today. Can only recommend Brett @ Sonnen Porsche, great customer service, flawless buying experience.

Luckily the weather was amazing today and we did a nice trip along Highway 1 right after leaving the dealer's lot.
Great day, amazing car... now I need to get the break-in miles over with fast (roadtrip to San Diego planned in 2 weeks!) to be ready for my first trackday with the new car end of February at Laguna Seca

Some quick photos:

Congrats!

Nice coastline shots. Looks like your wife/girlfriend is just excited as mine was when I picked up my 2014 as well. Ha

Great color! Drive home safe! White is my fav color.

Congratulations! Another beautiful GT3!
To be able to do a pick-up in good weather is a bonus.
Enjoy!

Looks great! Congrats on a fantastic looking GT3!

Love the leather steering wheel as well.

Thanks for sharing the shots and enjoy your trip to SD in a few weeks.

You are killing me man!! Not only is it 75 degrees in NorCal right now I hear, but to be able to leave the dealer lot and go straight for first drive in car on Hwy One? You lucky dog! We are not worthy. Beautiful car Rookie1 !

Nice very similar build, but I went full red gauges with clears. Nice view use to live in SoCal.

i was thinking the same thing from the pic...my guess is wife... that's a bit of a wife look...

after 10 yrs of marriage and about 10 cars during that period, mine just doesn't even pay attention any more. At least yours went to pick up with you and ride. My car been home weeks now and she still hasn't even sat in it...

beautiful car, I know the wait sucks, congrats

I ordered the "Special Quiet" tailpipes from Cargraphics, hope that will help.

Actually that photo is unfair/unfortunate (looking against the sun), my wife was equally (if not more) excited than me to pick up the car. She is a good sport and loves the car!

Great to see another NorCal car! Congrats.

The weather is crazy this year. I thought my GT3 was stored for winter and have been out the last two weekends. Even up here in Tahoe, it's been in the high 50s and low 60s. I was down in SF, on Thursday and it was in the 70s!
