I like the little duck tail spoiler! Wish my car has that.

I'm not a fan of quoting posts with pictures and including the picture in the reply. But, this time, this picture deserves to be repeated. Excellent subject. Great composition. Lighting that allows Carmine to show itself as it does to the eye and perfect choice for camera parameters. Awesome.

It's 2018 now. That's about a week from now.

That blurry episode last night must have been when I passed thru a wormhole from 2017. I guess my brain short circuited from the June 2017 plates I have hanging in the garage from my ED last year.

Oh dear, with all these EDs and possibly more 2019 builds, I may get weak and order the build I really wanted for ED, it's sounding like a bucket list item at this point.
Enjoy, Wimankid!

The drivers and sales staff represent Porsche. The "technical printout" was written by lawyers not engineers. Sorry for OT and no need to start endless break-in debate.

OP: I agree with LexVan. Needs to be your profile picture. It is epic.

Great picture! Congrats. My next one is going to be Carmine Red or, if still possible, Oslo Blue.

Have a great vacation

We do have a break in routine at PEC LA for our cars.

Beautiful Car! Congrats and Enjoy.
