Default I got it!!!!

Well, I'll pick it up tomoprrow at 6:00 PM.

My dealer just got in 2 GT-3's this morning, one black and one white, still in the wrapper when I saw them about an hour ago.

I posted in a previous thread for help in deciding what to do about my October build, black car, versus the white one that just arrived. The white dealer car was specced at $3K more (their black car was way too high) than the one I ordered and it boliled down to a color choice and $1K difference out of my pocket. I thought that was fair.

It was great to see them both, black and white, lined up one in front of the other. Gave me a good comparison. Both are beautiful but the white struck me more because the darker titanium wheels on the black car didn't pop. I had wanted to order the siver wheel option on my October car but it wasn't available until December.

In any event I am so excited. The cars are beautiful, and really low. The front air dam wasn't even installed and it was lowwww...

Did I mention it's my birthday tomorrow! It helped with my wife.

My July build car has silver painted wheels...it's been on the configurator since day one. No biggie, though, easy to get the wheels painted if you still want to go that way.

Thanks TDM.

I have to tell you that posts of your beautiful white GT-3 in Europe helped me with my final decision on color. I kept going back to your thread and looking at the pictures.

I'll post pics as soon as I can.
