Default I'm an a$$hole

Took delivery on Monday. What an amazing machine. I think all the awesome driving dynamics have been covered already by others so in my 300 miles here are some other observations.
- The G meter is cool... Happy to see only .24 max lateral upon delivery. A little surprised to see .60 acceleration recorded. I hope it was from me during the test run I took with it. My current max lateral to date is .82.
- Bluetooth. Callers can't tell I'm in a Porsche (or any type of sports car) which is awesome. Clear and quiet is what I'm being told - as long as PSE is off and cruising down the road.
- Base radio does suck. Usually stays off.
- Four 12v outlets... I added the smoking package for the aesthetics which comes with a 12v.
- Footwell net included. I didn't originally option it but later wanted it and was afraid to mess with my spec out of fear of losing the LWBs.
- At first I thought people were trying to race me. Now I realize they are just trying to keep up.

Last but not least... I became an a$$hole. How? I shared the below pic with a few people one of which is my brother-in-law. He responds back. "Nice car but you're an a-hole for parking in a handicap spot".

On that note I'd like to thank Jamie at Tysons Porsche for the outstanding customer service, smooth transaction, and for the first pic of me with my GT4 that he parked . Honest. Great communication. Knowledgeable. Highly recommend Jamie and the team at Tysons.

I look forward to meeting many of you in the weeks, months, and years ahead.

Nice ride. Congrats! Love how the motorsport strip looks on the white GT4. I am thinking about doing the same on my White GT4. Got any more pictures of your car in different angles?

My dealer did the same thing with me too, parked it in the handicap spot when they moved it out of the showroom after the paperwork was done. Must be a message from them to us.

Thx. I love the look. Installer did a fantastic job. Haven't done a photoshoot yet. Here are a couple more while I was breaking the law.

Maybe your salesman was assigned that parking spot for not selling enough pcars at desired high profit?

The sirpe looks great on white. Congratulations and be safe ... stick to speed limits. lol
