Default CGT #883 has Arrived...

My car was delivered to the dealer (Pioneer Porsche) today. Man, after having 2 kids, this was almost close to having a third in terms of excitement. ;-) I take delivery on Monday.

Congrats! That is very exciting! Enjoy it in good health. You will be blown away. Take it easy on the way home!

When your muscle memory is adapted to the car, you will really start to love it!

That's just cruel and unusual punnishment... to have it there, but you can't drive it until Monday!

I feel for you...


Enjoy!

Congrats Fayence,
I also fell in love with the color after riding in one with Marc Lieb in Liepzig
(possibly the one in your avatar??), in March of 04. go easy on the Loud
Pedal so you dont loop it, and actually if you follow "below 4200 for the
first 1000" you will get to learn the car the old fashion way by driving it
in controlled conditions.
