Congrat's on the upgrade! Loved the SY, iirc i was 2nd or 3rd or whatever in line on that SY when it came up here. Love what you did to it, gave me some idea's for mine

So, did you end up selling the GTS too? sell two to buy one is what I did to get my Cobalt...

Cheers, M

This is funny and accurate. That's how I feel about my super cheap base 2.0 macan. Every time I drive it I'm like "oh snap this is what a "normal" car feels like. I kind a like it" LOL.

Normal car = easy life.

You forget something at the store, no problem, I'll turn around. If I'm in my p car, I'm like F it, not going back.

Sam, you're going to love the gas savings with that Camry. In addition, automatic transmission, ac, apple CarPlay, driver aids all add up to a very comfortable drive in this crazy city. I have an Etron Chronos and it's like I've never left my family room sofa when I'm out and about. Honestly don't enjoy the GT3 unless I'm running it through the canyon.
