Thanks again everyone!

I can't wait to stretch her legs - I went for a drive around the block this morning (in my underwear ) just to remind myself how awesome it feels. I ride my bikes 99% of the time, road and track, including commuting, so she is not likely to see much use.

Even if I have spent a lot of time at the track on bikes I have never taken a car before, I think this GT3 will be the first. Got to see what she can really do...

As for the bikes, I have streamlined my collection recently (I only keep the bikes I ride regularly), down to 5 from 7. The most recent is a 2014 BMW HP4 Competition I got a few months ago, my 2nd S1000RR and easily the greatest sportbike I have ever experienced.

Agreed! For anything that you touch on a regular basis I think Alcantara is superior to leather. It feels fantastic and is much more resilient.

Looks amazing! Congrats!

Would you have happened to be in Irvine earlier this week? Saw a new red GT3 driving in front of a Korean market. Could not see the driver so I couldn't ask him, "do you even lift bro?"

Great garage too!

Congrats on the purchase and film your excitement once you are able to open her up!

Nope, wasn't me - even if I work in Irvine and I am there every day I have not taken the car around there yet.

The film shall be made, even if at this rate it is going to take me months to break her in. I need more hours in a day...

Legal and totally worth it - even if they make ingress/egress an affair impossible to execute while looking "cool" (egress is especially challenging - seeing my wife trying to get out of the car while wearing a skirt was all kinds of fun ). The ergonomics of this car are, as Harris would say, a "masterclass."

As for the flag, Amazon is your friend:

I also got a red one for the other side of the garage:
