Default My Guards Red GT3 Has Arrived

Please take a moment to share in my excitement for the arrival of my 2010 Guards Red GT3. The first few are the dealer photos.
The last is the car tucked away in my garage.
Car has less than 50 miles. That will change sooner rather than later









Unfortunately the car didn't come without a last minute fiasco.
The shipping company, Plycar Transportation, was overloaded and was being held at a Weight Station.
The driver then proceeded to call me to tell me he could either drive the car the rest of the way in or have me come and pick it up, or wait until he secured the correct permits (unknown amount of time).
My car trailer is out of town at the moment so my only option was to pick up the car.
As you might imagine my insurance and registration for the car was not finalized, and needless to say my BP was higher than normal this morning .

Regardless, I'm excited to have finally gotten the car after months of searching.

p.s. Guards Red is the fastest.

Congrats! Beautiful car. My second favorite GT3 color!

So it's a 2010 with less than 50 miles on it? Must have been in dealer stock for a long time. Nice score!

Congrats. I almost bought this car from Rosyln NY. They did not offer me the best deal. Enjoy the low low miles...

Sweet ride Richie... I just bought a Guards Red Porsche as well. Just got a quote from Plycar. Other than the issue above did you have any other problems? responsiveness, payment, etc? thx.

I handled payment through my dealer. Car took a total of 4 days from pickup, to the semi-delivery, NY-IL.

Beautiful car! Bet it was a good feeling getting it home safe and sound, finally taking a deep breath, and thinking Oh yeah, it really is mine. Congratulations!
