I should’ve invested in car washes.
 That angle from the rear quarter looks tough.

Were you at C&O just outside of Atlanta, yesterday? I wasn't able to go but their FB page posted pics and one of the Turbos looked just like yours. |

Thanks everyone! Carmine Red is the Best red! This is my first, and most surely not my last, P car!
My dad had an old 356 and then a Carrera when I was a kid. I'll always remember those leisurely weekend drives and talking to random people!

I optioned the manual gear box and 18 way seats and it does feel like it’s all business but I won’t be able to give an feedback except looks after spending $136k plus all the fees and taxes. |

I’ve never driven a “supercar” or whatever they call a McLaren but I’m guessing it’s over the top like the design of the body. The few GT3RS cars I’ve seen at my dealership look like all business. |

Honestly, if you’ve driven a 911 you’ll find “supercars” drive very similarly. The biggest difference is the upscaling of the interior, more exotic looks and more exotic engine. |

If my T would have been an S instead, I probably would have spent another 5K, easy, since I would have gone leather interior. As it sits, I'm going to have to spent another $1000 on retrofitting the FE since I had to delete it, back when it was going to be a European Delivery.. Grr.. |

That first road is gorgeous, but I'd worry about flying into a corner and finding boulders on the road for the second.
Honestly, I like the Cherohala Skyway better than TotD (too tight, too many accident & cops), but when we went Saturday there were reports of snow on the road and Cup 2s + snow = bad. |
