Sorry to hear that, Dell. One thing is certain and this is simply a delay. You will own another 3 and you will have a blast with it next track season.

Bummer!

Not long ago, my GF and I decided it was time to move (we rent). Found a great place with a beautiful finished garage and a huge yard for our dogs. It was perfect, and we were OK paying a few hundred more in rent. We hadn't signed anything but were told it was a done deal, and we gave notice on our current apt. Two days later we learned they gave it to someone else!

After all that we decided enough with renting - save to buy a house.

Dunno what my point is....except that maybe now you'll find an even more perfect car. Good luck!

Sorry things did not work out. Like some of the others are saying,
sometimes things happen for a reason.
With you having already owned a 996 GT3 in the past, I'm really
looking forward to how you feel about the 997 GT3.1.
Good luck with the ongoing search.

Cheers,
Geoff

Totally agree. The seller will now continue to be a GT3 owner and enthusiast as will I as soon as I find the next perfect car for me. Win win for the GT3 community

Thanks MJ! I'm thinking the same thing. Stay tuned......

By the way, would y'all please shut Tebow up this week!!!! It'd be nice to see your OSU boys grab Meyer and beat Tebow all in the same week

Ask Scott how big the tree is. My wife loves Xmas so our house is a frickin winter wonderland this time of year. And it's not "tree" it is "trees" with the main tree downstairs rivaling the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. There will be a car under it as well with the boys getting another 12V car so I guess you could park a car under it I'll have to take a pic this weekend when it is done. Let's just say that I can't get the tree topping (angel, bow, or whatever the wife decides) on standing on the top of an 8' ladder. I have to break out the exterior telescoping ladder.
