Default Trying to keep up with Karl
Long story short I was to trying to get an allocation for a GT4 back in 2020 with the intention of taking European delivery. Not only was it near impossible to get an allocation Covid hit and my dreams were temporarily dashed. Fast forward 5 years and this car popped up spec’’d exactly the way I built it on the Porsche website back then. Gold wheels and all. My wife asked me if I planned on selling the 911. I told her the market for selling race cars is really bad right now ��

Very nice, enjoy her in good health

As for the 911, list it for an outrageous price and tell her you are trying

Nice example and Congratulations, if that is what you wanted.
But, meh. It is still just a Cayman.
A baller would have gone for at least, 3 after GT. I guess the whole world now knows that you ain’t no baller, my friend. 😂

The last time I tried to take you for a ride in my GT3 you couldn’t fit. I think the GT4 may have a bit more room to accommodate you. 😀
