Congrats on taking delivery. You are the 3rd white one and 4th car in town.
Once you get on the Sea-to-Sky, you won't want to get off, you just want to keep driving there up and down.

Awesome car! Congratulations! I'll be keeping an eye out for you on the local roads! 
Not sure what the mix is at Langley, but Vancouver sold 5 white ones, 5 orange and 2 purple, only a white and a orange has been delivered and another white one on route.

Thanks everyone for the welcome and kind comments.
I gave this some thought; worried about achieving a JDM/blacked out look. Not something I wanted.
Hey Steve! Breaking it in,... mooty, TRAKCAR, and ChrisF were going to be my "break-in" team. I'm not sure I'd fare any better with "keeping revs down". 
Sadly we couldn't meet up when Gretta (my old grey 7.2 GT3) was visiting Vancouver again. She has more mental mind share for me than the new RS still. Nothing quite matches a feeling of a perfectly executed heal-toe downshift (even if it's braking for a red light for a right hand turn)
Wife really enjoyed the interior of the car; luxobarge. Exactly!
The air vents on the exterior? They're black. My seat belts are black.
I need you to get another 7.2 GT3 RS; I don't know why I am still looking at listings of them with bad intentions.
Ridge maybe on 9/14 if work doesn't get in the way and weather holds up.
Wife think's I'm "special too" (car ADD is a disease). Love for you to give this a whirl and hear your opinions sometime! This work thing gets in the way too often.

yes the 991 is BIG... well, have fun breaking it in and keeping the revs down hahaha... that was the single hardest thing about my owning my 991 gt3 so far...by a long shot!
btw greta doing great... just get her new cat today, now trying to clear all obd codes and then off to the cali smog station!

Yes, car much more extreme in person. Inside luxo barge I can stretch legs I love it.
Still don't like the grey air vents. should be black.
Silver or black seta belts?
Its comforting to know you have one of your own already so I don't have to look over my shoulder ;-)
Get your *** to The Ridge.

Barney isn't faster; but since everyone loves him - it's worth a lot more. However, with you as the driver, of course it's faster-er.
Looking forward to driving, living, and writing about thoughts on the various driving uses for this car. The 7.2 GT3 was best for my uses: 50% daily; 40% spirited driving; and 10% track.

Time to start collecting data where the best driving roads are.

Love to come break it in, but on the 14th. I am still on a plane ride home from France (Lemans) for "work".
Luxobarge :-), my excitement went up a couple of notches when I found out I may actually click the seat one step forward from all the way back. And it tilts!!
I meant the 4 interior vents, just like the 997m it annoys me that those 4 pieces stick out with the grey color that doesn't match anything else, clearly carry over from cheaper 991's. CF is a solution and with the std CF stuff all over I may do it, or paint them black.
Right, "sign here honey and I need a check" LOL... Mine is such a trooper.
We're special all right, now where are those future home plans with 900sqft of living space and a 16 car garage ;-) The kids can have a little 23 window bus to sleep in.
