Default Hello from a new GT3 owner

I just can't stop smiling. I picked up a Basalt Black 997.2 GT3 today. It's still sinking in that I really own this epic machine.

I first test drove the car last weekend, and it was truly love at first drive. Everything felt just so right. I knew I had to have it. This morning I handed over the keys of my 996 Turbo X50 (plus money) and left the dealership behind the wheel of the GT3.

It's a local one-owner car with just under 15k miles and zero overrevs. The dealer just performed a minor service, alignment and brake fluid flush, and sold me the car with CPO coverage.

I'm going to enjoy this thing!
