Default Spotted on my way to work while daydreaming (GT3)

I love seeing Porsche's on the road..

I spotted this beauty on my way to work riding the company shuttle.





As convenient as taking the shuttle to work is, I can't wait to drive the 60 miles daily.

Hmmmm, so the GT3 lands on the West coast.
Thanks for posting.

PS. They even emboss the shuttle seats with the company logo?

Ha ha .. did not see that.. Yes they do Nice comfy leather seats, recline, table and wifi so you can work on your way home or to work.
Only driving a Porsche is a better way to get to work

Sorry, but I was cursed with the over observant gene.
60 miles round trip or one way? And did you opt for a Manual?

That's a 997.1 gt3. I don't know if any customer 991 GT3s have been delivered.

You are correct.
I didn't look close enough at the rear lights and sunroof.
Thx for the correction.

It's a curse - TRUST ME!!
Good for you - there are days when I wish I had a PDK.
This usually happens after about 2 hours of traffic, when the left leg starts to cramp, and my back starts to go numb in between spasms.

The 911 MT was good for zipping through the French countryside - not so good for Florida

You gotta respect this dude. Hes driving a gt3 , w/ a roll bar, red belts, dive planes, and an aggressive wing to work! So much for the gt3 not being a dd. I like it!

My thinking too.. city driving, freeway traffic.. and hearing all the great things about PDK.. I opted for it and I am happy that I did.

Growing up and learning to drive with manual transmissions (In Germany Automatic was almost unheard of back then) I initially was certain I would order a mt but then, the more I learned about this option, I changed my mind

7 years of driving a MT 535 in Atlanta traffic was more than enough for me to get over the love affair with the MT. I did not even test drive it on the 991 so I would not have another dilemma over what to order.

Having had the PDK for a few months now, the only time I miss the 7MT is in my dreams when I am going up and down the Alpine passes.

Im glad to hear it
Nothing is worse than regretting some options picked.. I don't think I will regret this one..
