Smile Post your PTS 991s!

Hey everyone,
long time lurker here. I'm going through medical school right now with plans on purchasing a C2S right as I land a job... For now, I vicariously live through you all .

It's easy to spot 991s sporting a color from the standard, nonetheless awesome, array that Porsche offers; Let's create a thread with photos of 991s that are PTS examples. Maybe you'll inspire someone else in the process to go the PTS route; or, it's an opportunity to brag about how long you waited for your Aqua Blue/Arena Red/etc...

I'd love to see one in a dark/racing green, preferrably with a tan/beige interior (not the hideous lime/neon/grabber/anime green you sometimes see).

How about a 991 in 'Grasshopper Green' for 011??? Studgarden- Better close you eyes! Its that 'hideous' color you hate and I love...'Lichtgrün/Birch Green'! But I'll also post one in 'Brewster Green' since you like the dark tones! Both photos were taken during my trip to Zuffenhausen last April!

Just sayin'....I have not met a "normal " MD in 40 years around tons of them , family included.
But then, you need a certain personality make up to do this work, including OCD , high stamina and competitiveness, which is why so many are also into cars and racing.

Thanks for reminding me, Eduardo, why I think the 911 Club Coupe is their best looking special edition effort to date.

I agree. But with only 12 made, they are probably all already shrink wrapped and stored in caves , to reappear in 30 years at auctions.

whatever you chose, be sure it is something that requires placing your real or guided robotic hand on the patient, or else ...coming to a mall, big box store, busy street corner, airport , stadium, tourist areas , office building, work place , remote villages etc., etc., near you in the very near future ,

I have played around with this :

http://www.healthspot.net/solutions/healthspot-station/

the host / valet is there only to seat you or help wrap the BP cuff if needed and then wipe up and change out used connected dx gear, like the otoscope , hi def camera to view rashes, eyes, throat, stethoscope, thermometer, sat monitor, BP cuff, which are individually revealed as needed by sliding doors controlled by the practitioner

high powered UV lamps kill germs and viruses in the unit, the valet only wipes down or replaces objects in the opened compartments

by the time the telehealth MD signs in , he / she has already reviewed your sxs and pertinent positives and negatives from the touch screen hx algorithm as well as the full past medical hx you have entered have already been robotically pre formatted into a detailed hx note , so his time with the patients is only 4- 6 minutes , so he can see up to 10- 12 pts per hour very quickly and w / o stress as no small talk is needed as you would with any face to face encounter that is more intimate / uncomfortable

he prints an rx on the spot or sends escript to local pharmacy as needed

Credit cards only , pay full cash , no down time for the provider like when they are sitting in a current drug store type medic in the box .

Many insurers will guide you there also for common ailments , to avoid expensive EDs at only the cost of your usual primary acute care co pay when your docs office is closed or you are out of town.

I see what you're saying, but it still stinks. People will be jealous regardless of when I make the purchase.

Wow, Brewster Green is spectacular.
