I ground the pins off and used 3m adhesive, on my wannabe Porsche.

Always wanted a GT3 and it was the same price as the 992T I had built. I blame Chris Harris as he prefers the 991.2 GT3 which led me down a hole on YouTube watching everything I could find…

Still love the T and delighted for you all getting your cars. I could well have made a mistake but time will tell…
I would consider trading in an older GT3 also. You don’t have the new cup holder.

Texas is so flat……you can watch your dog run away. Between San Antonio and Abilene there is a stretch of road that is so long and flat that you can land large aircraft.

A new "drive test", from https://www.pf-magazin.de, "Germany biggest independent Porsche car magazine".
Not much, but it's something. It seems the car it's not that "popular" with the traditional car magazines.

That's what, 135ish km/h? I can't drive that slow on the autobahn. I've tried, but I will be giving up after a while.
Can't "swim" with the traffic, it seems they're never able to keep a constant speed. Or at least, somewhat constant. It's a continuous roller coaster, up and down, 110-140 km/h, without any explanation.

When I was still "running" winter tires, they used to put a small sticker on my windshield (on the interior), suggesting a 155 mph vmax (due to the tires).

Yeah, that’s frustrating and should be illegal.

Ha, but you’ll be the only one without the side decal?! Actually, not sure we surveyed that. Love the look of those rims on white.

I had a similar experience. Seems like a slightly darker version of Carrara white metallic, only with a much higher price tag. Of course Porsche removed CWM from the palette, which feels like a push toward the more expensive option that is left.

I saw a chalk 911T in bright sunlight-it didn't blow me away either, quite the contrary, very unimpressive.
