Congrats on the two new additions to the family.

Who needs a minivan?

BTW: the blue/silver wheels/yellow PCCB's flow nicely together.

Thanks STG! I was really striving for a timeless and classic look. Thrilled with how things turned out on the exterior. That theme is uniquely continued on the interior. More pics to follow.

Looks fantastic. Isn't Ronny great? And to think, you go all the way to Germany to get this car, and a New Yorker hands you the car. Enjoy the experience. It's truly spectacular.

Sweet car. Bash looks like he is laying a .2 in his pants as he realizes you are hiding the best part of the car....the Targa bar!!!

I'm thinking the Targa bar and those wheels must look great together.

wow that GTS lettering in GT silver (and the wheels) looks very thoughtful, yet nuanced

Congrats. Family and car look great. You did the right thing with the tow hook license plate. Keep that front bumper clear of holes! Have fun rest of the trip and enjoy the great car.

great Family Photo...I think my Family photo is under the Photo in the background.....almost 2 years to the date the same! I am glad you took it all in...a Great experience and Porsche does it well....even though the old 15% is not available anymore on ED. Please send us photos of the interior.....Did people notice you were taking delivery of a 2016 model? That by itself is very cool!

haha I did inadvertently overshadow that bar didn't I? The Targa really pops with those wheels. In fact, Porsche employees were taking pics of this car in addition to the tourists.

Picked up the car today from Sandro and his fine crew at Schwabenfolia. (We've talked so much over the months that my phone now autofills his company's name.) The Xpel wrap is fantastic and he delivered the car on time and just as promised.

Sandro even replaced my frunk medallion with a GT Silver version I procured from a member of this board.

Thank you Schwabenfolia!
