Default My First

Well... my first post on the GT3/GT2 forum. Hope I'm not jumping the gun!

I'm headed out to pick up my first GT3. (2007 - Yellow - CPO) If all goes well I'll have her back in my garage by late, late tomorrow night. (NJ-Chicago run with my trailer)

I'll be pulling my wife along so I'm sure I'll have a little time behind the wheel during the return trip. This will be my 10th Porsche and I am as excited as I was when I bought my first!

Strange enough - I've never driven a 7GT3. I was, however, very lucky to have spent 30 minutes driving a '08 7GT3 RS at the track that belonged to a student and recall thinking how the car made you feel connected like few other cars... I'm hoping it feels the same once I have my own.

Hmmm... I wonder if the car will ever get strapped to the trailer on the way home...

Dude, I have the exact same car which is my first GT3 also! And based on your profile pic, you like guns and watches.

I like the cut of your jib!

I like your screen name. Hillarious and clever. And - as you'll likely soon find out - all too true!

Congrats on the new GT3! I think you are a NNJR member, but only know you through your screen name on the NNJR site. Hope to see you out there on track soon!

YEA BABY!!!!!!!!

Just had my 2 hour get acquainted ride. Why did I wait so long?



Team Drug Money -- We were seated at the same table last month after the NNJR Thunderbolt day. I was seated at the head of the table (of course) next to our mutual German friend.

A yellow GT3 looks awesome. A word of caution, as I speak from experience,
a yellow car attracts a great deal of the wrong attention.

Thanks Mike!

Not making Pocono as I am just coming off the wacky 24 Hrs of Lemons this past weekend and still have much to do to the GT3 before hitting the track such as a clear bra, sourcing wheels and slicks, alignment, seat hardware, etc... I just don't feel like rushing. I'll be at WGI in a month -- Hope to see you there!

There is one thing you should rush with, though...

PICTURES!

Congrats on your purchase, enjoy in good health!
