Have you had a session on the Porsche Experience track at Silverstone or Atlanta (I guess you're UK or USA) - if not, I thoughly recommend. Lots of room to expore at the limit, with a pro-instructor next to you and plenty of safe run-off area, no on-coming vehilces, no pedestrians and no police (and they loan you a GTS so no wear & tear to your vehicle).

Anyway, glad you're enjoying it.
I totally agree and yes I'm from US . When you own a 2016 Porsche you do go flying up the street lol. One that has a Porsche has made wise decisions that why u have a porsche . My driving experience was in the very late hours and no traffic but me . However I will say this its like the gray hair guy driving a corvette z06 at 50 mph . Did you get the car because u always wanted your did you get the car because your trying to show your financial status or did u get a Z06 because you like fast cars and like to pla once in awhile and drive the car as it was designed . The same is true for a gts if I wanted to just drive a porsche why not get base porsche and load it up with options . Or you can get as close as a gt3 but with more every day comfort and buy a GTS . I bought a GTS to drive normal but also have fun and do what porsche has designed it for have fun play and out handle everything else in its class.

I found my car! (which was supposed to arrive at San Diego today)



After remaining anchored north of Panama for two days it finally went through the canal yesterday evening and it's now due to dock at San Diego on Jan 31.

Woah Reuben, I have been so busy eating and driving with Puf that I had forgotten you were still waiting... But please let me reassure you it will be worth the wait.. Another 2 weeks or so and it will be over. Good luck..

Thank you.

Sadly, while it is an RS, it's not Chartreuse. PTS window closed before I got my alloc. Additionally, Chartreuse, while it is now on the approved PTS list, it wasn't when the PTS window was open, even if I did get a PTS'able alloc.

at least your next car will be Chartreuse, we can't let your effort of getting it approved go to waste

What color is the RS?

Agreed. Definitely.

Lava Orange. Primarily because I could spec it with Lava Orange seat inserts, Lava Orange seat belts, Lava Orange 12 O'Clock Stripe, and it all fits.

It looks like it's trying to land at the nearest airport...

After 4 days of going Ro-Ro (round and round) just south of the border, the Auto Atlas has finally docked. GreenLantern, I see some bright colors in our near future

Been away for a week and come back to your boat going around in circles..
But hoist the lanyard and lower the main sail, your ship has landed.
In 3 to 4 weeks it should be out the docks, yeah?

It will hopefully be sooner than that. Inspection at the port was completed yesterday and now we're just waiting for it to be transported to the dealer which is 120 miles away
