I would probably not spec the tan interior but that is nit picking!

That is awesome sans the beige interior.

I mean, I'm in commercial real estate, so it's not *that* bad. Sometimes it goes the other way.

There are a couple of threads on Rennlist about number 991.2s dying due to the VTS (vehichle tracking system) not working in the last week. Its a little module buried deep in the dash somewhere that can act as an immobilizer if you subscribe to the Porsche version of lojack. It seems like the issue may be related to the 3g shutdown. Replacement part lead-times are being quoted in "months". I'm leary that has the potential to render all 991.2s out of commision until they figure a fix. I haven't started mine today, ignorance is bliss.

On the brighter side, this was at my local growers market last week - 6mt. Chatted with the owner for a few mins. It was an impressive looking machine.

Mine is the less impressive one behind it.

Josh, I am a fan and even with the stripes.

A friend that is now a Porsche tech sent these earlier today. In for a $15k titanium exhaust install. The owner also has another GT3 as well as a Cayman GT4 that had headers installed on it yesterday.

This 997 turbo is kind of cool. One of the last metzgers w/ the .2 interior updates.

I really like Ruby Red and I would own one in it if I could. When it as new I probably would have not even given it a thought.
