I think there are around 4 white GT3 in the Toronto Area. I've seen one other than mine. I say before i get back to Toronto i'll keep in contact with you guys and maybe meet up at Sherway on one of the GTG meetings and gets to know each other first. I've never been to one of them. But my car showed up last weekend with Ray becaues he is taking a good care of my Baby.

). Overall, the look, sounds, feel, driving dynamics, it's what a Porsche should be!

alcantara is either something you love or hate, i replaced my steering wheel, my shifter, shift book, ebrake and ebrake boot with alcantara on the m3 and never looked back, i think you get as much grip IMO

Slippery... fuzzy... wierd... really? I'll believe when I drive it.. OldGuy, I think you owe me one! (jk)

And to credit, that has got to be the fastest "I've gotta talk my wife into it" to "got it" that I've ever seen... what, all of 24 hours?! You must have worked some magic! Congrats!

BTW, recognize these? Don't worry, I'm taking great care of her... I'll post final pix for you in a couple days!
