You beat me to it. My car has not yet arrived at the dealer but is expected 'very soon.'

Question: Did it come with Pirellis or Michelins? I couldn't tell from your picture.

The interior really "pops" with the deviated stitching and the blue trim. She's a beauty!

Woot! I think that the yellow on the PCCBs look best on the Sapphires and the black wheels just make them pop that much more. Wonderful!

If you think you feel a lot of power now... wait and see what it has in store for you once you are ready to let-er-rip!

They guy had to settle with buying his wife a Boxster/Cayman for European delivery this summer and try for an allocation for a GTS for next summer. So it sounds like GTS allocations became very thin, indeed.
Ha, I was going to say that you were lucky to get an allocation, and apparently you were! Congrats and thanks for sharing the happy ending to a very sad story.

Yeah, I am still trying to take it easy, keep it under 4000 rpm LOL! Going to be taking some nice weekend trips and try and get it broken in sooner!

Beautiful. Sapphire Blue is the best color...

Sapphire isn't anything like Smurf. Smurf is closer to Mexico blue.

I had no idea. I need to adjust the color on my TV at home! I always remembered them as darker when I grew up...

How a color looks on a computer monitor is dependent on a lot of variables. Here is a screenshot of results from a Google image search for "Smurf". They all look like Mexico to me.
