I don't recall that conversation. Was I sober?

Will you track it?

I might be able to help as I've done some Porsche specific track events when I had the CS. It'll mostly consist of "what me to learn what not to do" but still value added IMO.

Grats!
Not to pee on yellow but I prefer the guards much more. I mentioned the pccb' way back in your other thread. Good move on that.
I'd go koo koo waiting though.

A gt silver, my favorite p color, was out on the left coast and gone the next day. Maybe the dealer was just being mean showing it as For Sale.

Go buy one of those count down clocks lol.

GoPro + links when it happens !

Blksnowflake · 03-14-2016, 01:19 PM

That car is so badass I'm trying to form words but all that seems to jump in my head is some form of obscene turrets outburst....
So I'll just say, nice car, congrats.

Yeah...that thread was a while ago. From the GT4 database:

Just checked and for my card, it's a single point per dollar.

Gotcha. I thought you meant you only paid $15k cash with the rest being paid with AMEX points, haha. That would've been almost as sweet as your new ride!

Thanks! The reviews and comparisons to the GT3 and GT3RS are insanely positive and I haven't been this excited over a car in maybe never.

gonzo · 03-14-2016, 01:41 PM

I haven't driven one but you're going to freaking love it. What's not to love. I saw my first one on the streets last week in white. Way more menacing looking than I would have thought.

Well...I'll charge the $115,000-ish on 1 July. 20 days following, I'll cash out approx 2,707 (as of today) shares of AAL. I bought an obscene amount of AAMRQ when it was $0.40-ish/share a few years back. I need to speak to my CPA, but that's the plan and I'm figuring a net out of pocket of $15,000.

How the hell did you get a dealer to take a card? I can't even get them to take $20-$30,000 on a card let alone that amount.

Yeah, last time I bought a new car the Audi dealer would only take a $2k on the card. The rest had to be cash or loan. Never bought a Porsche, but I figured their rules would have been the same as Audi's.

Not sure either, but it'll be an epic charge. This was the deposit.

KingOfJericho · 03-14-2016, 02:07 PM

Yeah I've heard of people putting vehicles on CCs as well but I've never been able to put more than $3k down using a CC. I'm assuming this is because the dealer will be paying amex a fee based on the trans amount. Definitely check with the dealer prior to pickup.
