But my auto-colorist bigotry notwithstanding, that white McLaren is goddamned sexy.

I too would swap an R8 for that without hesitation. (He says having never driven either)

What's your 991 trim again, C2S w/PDK? Cabrio?
My Porsche is a 2012.5 C2S Coupe with a 7 speed manual (991.1) black/black, I custom ordered it to my specs and it was the first batch of manual's to hit the USA and literally the first one to hit my dealership because back then they first introduced the 991 with pdk and 1/2 a yr later they finally introduced the manual. I remember telling my salesman to make sure no one was to touch my car when it arrrived because knowing it was the first 7 speed manual to hit the dealership I was super paranoid they would want to drive it.

The wait for the manual felt like it took forever but was well worth it.
