Sorry to say I will not make it down to the dealer today due to one child being sick and me needing to stay home with her. Probably better since driving 100 miles each way to see a car I'll be getting Monday anyway is a bit stupid.

Talk to you all after delivery

They just called me again to tell me how hot this thing looks. The car is waiting for me in the Prep center beyond "ropes" they said!! Go to the sales office and ask for Gino, tell him you know Peter the owner and want to take some pictures!!

Btw, Catena had a training session with Porsche N/A and some of the Porsche upper brass advised they will not be making 2008 RS's.....

Damn it, I think I am driving down today now after all!!!!

I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was told there was a mechanical problem that held up the boat's departure. Ours is apparently on the same boat. Now expected in Wisconsin early the week of Feb 26.

I wonder if the vanity plate "Orangina" is gone ... : )

Anyway, nonsense jokes aside, it does look so much more serious than an ordinary GT3.

I wonder why the wing isn't installed properly yet.

I guess if they store it "behind ropes" they also store their vacuum cleaners behind ropes ... now that's a prestigious dealership ...

I wonder if someone will be offering a nicer door handle than those shiny, silver plastic things.

Pete,

Congratulations. What a beautifully done GT3 RS. My only color choice for this car is Orange, the center console painted Orange looks very good, and the Orange stitching on Full Leather looks brutal.

That looks really sharp! Makes me want to reconsider my option list.
