Carrera Classics, no color center caps. No Aero kit.

Personally, I think the sport design bumper looks much better than the standard. Would I spend the extra $3200 if it were my own money? Probably not...

That sums up how I feel. I think might add the sport design side skirts. Don’t know if that makes any sense though because if they don’t have PPF on them they are going end up looking like crap and I am done blowing money on PPF as there is zero ROI.

Okay. Sweet.

Not sure why, but the Carrera Aerokit (not the front end) really bothers me. The rear spoiler looks too stylistic and not functional. And that aspect of it irks me.

Car is in the vault back from PPF’ing. I’m gonna run over there when I can. Other than that whole working for a living thing, should make it in time before they close today. I think.

Fingers crossed.

Sean, I am really surprised you decided to go with another 992, I really thought you were going to go down the 718 GTS road …. If you asked me a week ago to bet what you’re getting next I would have lost.

This reminds me, where does the Z3 stand?

I saw a manual Miata last night and thought it looked pretty sharp. But, I do wonder how safe they are. They are SO small. The Z4 seems like a much more substantial car…

But, I digress.

I have previously been told an allocation is unattainable. Who knows… I was told the same for a 992 C2S a week ago. I was also told that PCNA had informed dealers that there would be no more 992.1 allocations, yet some were distributed on Monday.

I do not really want a Cayman and I do not need a Boxster since I have owned my Z3 3.0i for 10 years come May 5th.

The Z3 has been in storage at my former residence since November 8th. I washed it on the 7th. The dates are in my iPad calendar.
