2010 GT3 pics au natural

My brother-in-law works for PCNA at the port of Houston. He took me on tour of the facility. I got to check out the make ready process, take a couple rides in some seriously new rides and generally stood around with my mouth open admiring the beauty. They had 2 gt3 that had just come of the ship and I snapped a couple pics. My BIL has a very cool job.

Perhaps a quick trip to the salt flats before they take the wheel discs off.

Nice pix - does PCNA know you have those photos?

(Does Betty Jo Turner know you have those photos?)

Never say never, but none of those pictures make me drool. Is it me or are these cars getting bigger and bigger and bigger?

Sheesh. When the car is yours, it's not you that will be looking at them. It'll be the rest of the world that'll be lookin' at 'em.

Those taillights don't ruin it for me, but I admit that they look like they could have come off of an Eagle Talon/Mitsubishi Eclipse.

I also have a problem with the styling of the rear of these cars. Not sure if I will warm up to it. I guess I have about 15 years to do so, before I could afford a 2010 GT-3.

Very few "buy" these cars...built to be leased to those who believe "image is everything".

are you talking about new Porsches in general, or GT cars? Last I checked getting an allocation is difficult and most GT buyers buy out these cars in cash or similar.

Man, I hope everyone knows I was joking about the salt flats - everybody knows those wheels discs are so you can hide drugs in the spokes.

I just hope that comment about starsky and hutch was a little bit of humor, too.
