  1. Saw it in person at the Denver auto show and then again just a few days ago at a local Toyota dealer. Pretty cool truck.
  2. High 40s/low 50s. I'll grab one off auction with the burmester- one of the best sounding OEM systems out there.
  3. I'm eyeing an ACR extreme but not at the current prices. Sub 90k is the sweet spot.
  4. Teaser shot from HRE wheels /user/r00tts/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps3l0kkq51.jpeg.html]http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad321/r00tts/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps3l0kkq51.jpeg[/url]
  5. Bingo. I think the 996 cars have bottomed out on price.
  6. Gorgeous! I'm having a bit of trouble telling from the pics, is it a manual or pdk? I'm a big fan of carbon ceramics, clean wheels all the time!
  7. That's sapphire blue metallic. Great color!
  8. Ceramic coatings (optic pro plus) and Porsche decals (from porsche) went on. Opti pro is a great product and I highly recommend it. http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad321/r00tts/image_zpsukff1qvt.jpeg http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad321/r00tts/image_zps4p6nkdmh.jpeg http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad321/r00tts/image_zpsbbnxnaor.jpeg http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad321/r00tts/image_zpseic7ne6q.jpeg http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad321/r00tts/image_zpsjlyec3lj.jpeg http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad321/r00tts/image_zpsqw4wabue.jpeg
  9. Many Porsche dealers don't do this. It's frowned upon from the folks in Germany and can limit the amount of GT division cars the dealer may get. However, quite a few wealthy individuals will put their brand new 30 mile GT3 RS on consignment with them for 90k over asking.
  10. Great cars. Tons of fun at a track day. Enjoy!
  11. There is a stop sale on new tdi cars. If you bought a used one after the issue was confirmed by VW you are not eligible. So, no.
  12. Imo it's really not enough. Sure, maybe the Passat and Jetta folks are thrilled. You got 25-40% of your car paid for. My used tdi Touareg dropped 18k in value on trade to the same dealer 3 months later with only 3k additional miles. Might be acceptable for a new car sure, but a used 2014 with 20k. No way. No other dealers even want the car. We tried to get in a Land Rover LR4 and the sales associate couldn't do the deal with the tdi on trade. My attorney is waiting to see what the judge says tomorrow...
  13. Well, it's been snowing for the last two days or so. We have right around 15 inches or so on the ground....so I cleaned both cars. Supposed to be better next weekend when we are back into the 70s and maybe low 80s. And folks say Ohio weather is crazy. Here it will be 75 and sunny and 24 hours later there's a foot of snow. http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad321/r00tts/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsjzuwe1xw.jpeg http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad321/r00tts/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps37uf24gp.jpeg http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad321/r00tts/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsxm1iyjdi.jpeg
  14. Most likely was a sapphire blue metallic car. That was a standard option from porsche with the GT4. Great color! Much more sparkle in sunlight and a little darker in the shade. http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad321/r00tts/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsap5pqgyn.jpeg Voodoo Blue is considered "Paint to Sample". Literally, you could get your car painted any color you wanted if Porsche accepts the sample. I only know of 3-4 Voodoo Blue cars on the GT4registry. There may be one in Houston, but I'd say it would be pretty rare to see another one.
  15. Not the best day for delivery but... I couldn't wait any longer. The car is absolutely as advertised. The steering feels so much more precise/tighter than the 991. Power feels a bit underrated but I'm following break in procedure. It's a tough car to compare because I haven't driven anything like it. http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad321/r00tts/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsktfovk1m.jpeg
  16. Yea definitely was a process. For a while carbon buckets were pulled from the option list which really make the car. Essentially, they are the same seat from the 918 spyder. Quite lucky to get them along with the paint to sample.
  17. Picking up tomorrow- but one from my SA tonight after a detail and clear corner lights. Also, a new 2017 911 s in Miami blue. http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad321/r00tts/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsygi1oroq.jpeg
  18. More pictures this week. I ran down to the dealer when I heard the truck was pulling in. Hopefully it will be in my garage tomorrow and if not then, it will be Wednesday.
  19. Definitely. Do you frequent any of the C&C events? Also head out to high plains raceway a couple times a month if it's nice.
  20. Hopefully I get some better pictures next weekend. Getting a full ceramic coating, clear bra and a layer of opticoat.
  21. I've got one booked tomorrow! Ha but taking the FRS and 991. This car won't see as much track duty as those. Just a few open lapping days.
  22. No, I wish. I ran out of garage space. It is the only car I regret selling...well second to my Daytona coupe, which this car replaced.
