So here it is at long last. My official journal/thread is born as my car arrived at the dealer yesterday.

Pickup is tomorrow around 2pm at which point many additional pics will follow along with some early thoughts on the car and what I have planned for it. While I'd love to share the full story about how I ended up in a 911 it will have to wait for now... suffice to say I had a 930 Turbo poster on my wall when I was but a wee lad and through the years the 911 has always been a halo/reference car, an end goal if you will. As things progressed in my life it seemed to get farther away due to the upward pricing spiral but was fortunate enough to have a few things change to put me where I am today. Nice to be able to make it happen before I hit the big 4-0 too.

For those that are interested my build/ordering/wait thread can be found here: And another... my tentative Sapphire Blue GTS build

To keep me sane my sales associate sent over a few low quality pics shortly after arrival as well as during the prep process... will have to keep me fixated until pickup tomorrow.

Fantabulous T

 

Gorgeous! Congrats!

 

 

That is beautiful! I like the aerokit!! Ordered mine in plain ole white with aerokit cup, but won't see it until well into spring.

 

Is this the first Aerokit Cup trim GTS we've had here?? I think so!

Looking sweet... Congrats. The wait is OVER!!

Painted interior A+++

 

Really like the painted interior trim. I haven't seen them done in Sapphire Blue like that. Very unique.

Great color too

 

Love the interior blue trim!

 

argh stop it! I have to wait till June for mine :/

 

Looks great. Congratulations and good luck sleeping.

 

Great looking car. Love the color and interior trim. Enjoy it...

 

Great color! (I'm biased.) You'll get tons of compliments. And good call on the aerokit, and sapphire blue interior trim. Enjoy it!

 

Fantastic build! I can't believe you ordered 10/22 and have it already. That's a good 6 weeks faster than my build .

 

Thanks all! Obviously super happy and I think the interior in particular looks stunning. Looking forward to the many hours ahead learning how everything works and getting the Burmester audio setup to my liking. Should be fun.

At this point though I've passed the excited stage and am now mostly numb just waiting for the hours to pass... one more sleep as they say.

 

Suhweeeet!!
