Nice. Especially interested to hear your take on it compared to the 911 that you sold…

Thanks Guys, I have to tell you I am completely blown away by this car just seeing it in my garage, it is so strange because I don't think i ever went into my garage that often to look at a car.

I live on Long Island in one of the better neighborhoods and I have seen very few C8's as well as 911's, Ferrari's, Lambo's etc. ... I guess Texas is different

Just went to the grocery store 10 minutes away and saw a brand new 911 Turbo S

Austin does have lots and lots of expensive cars all around

Crazy but I guess it’s like South Florida … it always amazes me seeing so many high end cars when I go there.

Congrats, Alan!

Yes, I agree with Dan. The C8 is not a rare car in Texas. Nor are any of the other cars you mentioned.

A guy a half mile from me parks an Urus, a 911 GT3, and an RS6 Avant in his front driveway. Every time I go by, I wonder what's in the garage.

I suppose in Texas you can drive the supercars around all year-long. In ATL, too, for that matter.
