FWIW, I never understood all of the "gloom and doom" Recession talk here.
Especially given that the definition is not two consecutive negative quarters of GDP.
In the U.S., a recession is officially defined by the NBER Committee.

We should get an early reading on Q2 GDP next week.
Atlanta GDPNow is currently showing growth at 2.4%

DD I believe there’s an Off Topic section you can write all this jibberish. No need to pollute this thread

I'm sorry.

I could have sworn that I read page after page of the false narrative that "the economy is going into Recession, the stock market is collapsing, and ADM's will disappear" in THIS thread.
In fact, a simple search of the word "Recession" in this thread shows up 4,150 times over 166 pages.

Didn't you know that rule only applies to you. Everyone else can talk about the economy and ADM's and stealers - except you. And no more bragging about the Bay Area, technology firms or your portfolio on here either (aka jibberish)

Unless they get enough allocations I probably won't get one. The GM did tell me that if I don't get a 992.1 GT3RS then I'll for sure get the 992.2 GT3RS so not a big deal. The GT4RS will be my primary track car as I loved tracking my GT4s.
you only have a wish list? I thought you had a gt car...

I tried to refer my buddy who lives in Vegas to North Houston because the Las Vegas dealer is just like most all of the SoCal stealers, but the SM told me that they are no longer accepting out-of-town clients as they need to focus on selling their new cars locally and said I'm grandfathered in because I've done so much business with the dealer for the past 6+ years.

I got a Touring and GT4RS but didn't get a GT3RS allocation so I got my top 2 choices.

Yes, Im very blessed to be able to live in the Golden State. Not everyone can afford to live here, especially in the Bay Area.

I'm still very busy with a variety of interests and remain "active" in my retirement, including racing MX.

Considering that they are building more GT3s and GT3RSs then vanilla Carreras that is not surprising but I hear more and more that the non-GT 911s are now selling for MSRP. Like I said before, inflation hurts the lower class the home and is a tax on all of us and I hope the Fed finishes the job on bringing inflation down to a more reasonable rate (hopefully with a soft landing).

they’re just not. That would require 25,000 GT products a year. Not even remotely close.

You are essentially correct.

Porsche produced 41,947 units of the 911 in 2022 and they delivered 40,410 units.
Does anyone really believe that Porsche is pumping out 21,000 GT products in a year?
I dont.
