Congrats! That's a mighty piece of equipment!
You got the car you wanted! Like everyone else here I guess you want to drive more on the track than road hooninganing. To each his own.

Hope you made your decision before reading his opinion. He happens to always like what he currently owns or is going on sale on collecting cars. Monkey of Driver's Republic times and Harris of Collecting Cars and TopGear are two different animals.

Nah, don't think like that. All "Porscha" are nice and we should go back to the times when we bought cars based on desire and intended use instead of what is trendy or which car will retain its value better.

I am doing it too, but, there is always someone who will park next to you, despite being far from the entrance and having lots of empty places nearer to it.
Murphy's Law, I guess.

IMO IGM is much better than Chalk, but you should see it for yourself.
flat pics don’t give it justice


Thanks for posting. My incoming T exactly, without the SD fascia and high gloss spoiler.

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

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.
