Holy cow an LC500 convertible and a 911 GT3 touring? You're literally living the dream with the best two-car garage I can think of without spending supercar money. Congratulations!!
Thank you, sir!
those orange front side blinkers have to go to clear
@@robertblake1228No, not really. They are meant to be visible for safety
Maybe my next life. I can afford one.
@@machtschnell7452 It is only the requirement in the US from decades ago. There is nothing this adds to safety, that's why it is not universally adopted.
Congrats, pal! I know you’ve been saying for years in your videos that you were going to buy a 911. I wasn’t expecting the GT3T, but you deserve this! Glad you stick to your word and paid cash as well. The Gentian Blue is my favorite color on the standard palette, and the cognac interior is perfect. I’ve spent countless hours on the GT3 configurator and my dream GT3 is PTS Malachite Green over Cognac. Congrats again, MotoMan, well deserved!
Thank you, sir . . . Been after this one for a while.
"It's a lot of money to eat your own dog food." and that honesty is why I watch you MM. Congratulations!!
I'm usually a bit bitter and jealous when allocations from Porsche go flying around the ol''Tube, but your advise on the 991.2 Targa 4S got me to buy one, so I'm completely psyched for you!! Love the spec and that you ate your own dog food!!
Great car you have . . . Probably my second favorite 911.
Two of my favorite youtubers have now got the cars of their dreams, Mat Watson with his GT3 RS and now you with the touring. I'm happy for both you, and i hope i can one day remember your words and put my money down where its worth.
Great to have had you at our dealership!
Armen! Thank you for all your help in putting this episode together! Can't wait to share the PDI drive episode with David with the audience!
Huge congratulations on getting a GT3 Touring and in a stunning spec! Looking forward to more awesome content and wishing you many safe and enjoyable rides!
You had lots of patience to wait so long for this absolutely stunning car. First came Covid, then in 2022 the freighter "Felicity Ace" sunk and thousands of Porsches on delivery to the US went down the ocean. I am from Germany and had to wait incredible 16 month for my 718 Cayman which I ordered around this time.
The whole Felicity Ace debacle was one of the factors that pushed this delivery out.
You had me the moment you removed the plastic on the door sill to reveal: "Motoman TV". Simply awesome😁!
The subtle details are what moved me to this car.
Congratulations on your new, one of one, GT3 Touring ! You are a testament of good things happen to those who wait. 3 years is a long time but it was well worth it seeing how happy you are. Great job on the filming as always !
Thank you, sir!
Sounds like it’s really been 14 years of waiting
Huge congratulations sir! You have powered through on this channel even through Covid and injury! Enjoy your gt3.
Congratulations sir! What a gorgeous car and absolutely beautifully customized options!
Love your content and hope to see this channel growing because this is one of the few car review channels that I watch religiously.
Three years was a long time, but totally worth the wait!
Both the LC500 and the 911 GT3 cars will hold resale value.
Now that is one very happy MotoMan basking in the glory/ disbelief of finally owning a Porsche. We all have our favourites, no right answers, etc but for what it's worth, the GT3 Touring has been my personal fav since it's introduction in the 991.2. Superb choice Sir and wishing you many trouble free miles in her!
Perfect spec! Keep up the awesome work and reviews! Love the channel, well deserved! 🤙🏼
I wouldn't have expected anything less. Congratulations, George! What a dream car 😁
Congrats on the new ride. It's beautiful. Props for not putting yourself in debt to get your dream car. Impressive achievement. All the best.
Congratulations. Very well deserved. My favorite RUclipsr and this very video proves why, not just the cars and insight but the fact that you took the time to advise your viewers about debt and how to go about life is well noted. Thank you.
Greatly appreciate your kind words!
It’s gorgeous. Congrats! The most important thing you said was how you don’t take on debt for cars. Such an important message for people to hear. You’re a role model to kids and adults alike. Enjoy it!
I totally get what he is saying but the other side of the coin is you only live once. Finance can work if you have no other means; it's at least a better step than gambling, spending hundreds of dollars a night clubbing, drugs, smoking, etc. Just do it at a comfortable level and know that you will be paying a lot of interest, unless you can pay it down fast.
Huge congratulations! Glad to know there are some great people at good dealers out there that disrupt the norm!
so happy for you! been following the channel for a while, my wife even enjoys your videos! cheers
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing the good news. Looking forward to your insightful and entertaining automotive content.
Mega congrats! One of the best specs out there! And thanks for bringing us always such comprehensive reviews/videos
Eyyyy congratts congratss all the way from Lebanon!!
Wish all a lot of miles and smiles!
Congrats on such an amazing car. Like many who've been following your growth for many years, this is well deserved.
Congratulations mate! Well deserved. I love it, my spec would be very similar. Thanks again for the great content
Congratulations George! I don’t know how you kept this a secret for three years! I am a bit surprised you didn’t get the GTS Targa but I know that you wanted a manual and not a PDK so I think this fits the bill perfectly. I think your most important message was at the end when you made clear to everyone that you wrote a check for this magnificent vehicle and didn’t finance or lease it. I can’t wait to see your follow up videos on this car. The next time I’m in SoCal I’m calling Kumo to come pick me up and take me for a ride in the canyons.😅
Thank you, Lee . . . A GTS Targa manual is definitely one of my favorites behind a GT car . . . In the end, it was very hard to trade the roof for the performance.
Congrats! Your patience really enabled you to get a fabulous car. Guess timing is everything! Based on one of your reviews from a few years back, my wife and I found an allocation - something we weren’t even aware we needed, and were able to order a 2018 Targa 4S, which we love. Not a GT3, but still a great ride. I will look forward to your future reviews to hear more about your enjoyment, but especially your teaser re the seats. I know there may be features that I’m unaware of, but have a difficult time thinking they could be as comfortable as the 18 way seats and I definitely wouldn’t want to give up our heating and cooling option, either. Great choice!!
Man love your honesty about your purchase. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, Alvin . . . means a lot!
Congratulations. Great spec. Love the way each option was thoughtfully selected.
Oh my God. The color combination is spectacular. I am genuinely happy for you. Nothing like getting the car you want. Again congrats. BTW. I am jealous. Lol
At last! Can’t believe how many 911’s come with black interiors. Whether getian blue or any green, and even carmine red, a tan or cognac interior is so much better ❤👏👏👏
Congratulations, well deserved. Living the dream. You nailed the specs and colour combo dead on ! It’s superb. Enjoy and drive safe.
Tremendous. Outstanding. Congratulations! Your motivation now becomes other’s motivation to achieve the same, in the right way, like you have done. Looking forward to sharing in your experiences with this car.
Thank you, Gregory!
Im happy for you, been watching you for a few years and glad you got this..very well deserved!
Congratulations!! 🥳 Excited for you for your Touring. I particularly like the idea of buying it with no debt. Great job!! 👏👏👏
I need to start a YT channel because it clearly pays. Congrats! You deserve it.
I have been following and watching this Channel since late 2015 and I could't be happier for you Mr MotoMan!
Congratulations! Viel Spaß mit dem Auto, grüße aus Deutschland!
Vielen dank!
Bravo Motoman.. this is stunning 💯
I could nick pick about some of your configuration choices but all that matters is that you're happy, congratulations!
Yes!! Congrats and welcome to the club
Thank you!
This car looks STUNNING! Congrats! Can't wait to see more on it.
YES YES YES. We need more of these in the world. I'm very happy you George. Fantastic spec as expected.
Thank you!
Wow. Nice car my man. I hope you keep it and drive the way it’s meant to be! Great story.
Congrats! Well deserved. Enjoy and rejoice in the fruits of your labor. Envy is un becoming, but aspirational dreams and hopes are a great motivation that can drive us (pun intended) to excellence.
Congratulations! Love the blue on tan combination. Happy motoring!
Many congrats! You totally deserve this amazing car, great options (axel lift is a must). Love that blue color. Porsche does some great colors, their shades of darker greens, are maybe my favorite. Wish I could live debt free, very difficult, but appreciate the candor.
Congrats! I have a 992 T now and on the list for a GT3 Touring - that's the only car I would move up to from the T. Enjoy it!
Has to be called 'ZORA', from 'from Russia with love' & returning 3 years later in 'Thunderball', matches the timeline and the reasons for delay. Congratulations on a lovely spec too.
So happy for you! You did it and you did it right. It was well worth the 3 year wait. Enjoy it!!
An absolute beauty George. Your meticulous planning paid off. Congrats on your new masterpiece.
I am super happy for you and so envious at the same time !!! Enjoy she is beautiful ❤❤❤
Congrats!!! Well deserved indeed. With a smile, after all the favorite options game, I present you ''Moneypenny'' :)
One of the top suggestions.
Congratulations!! If you ever want to ship the Touring to the Smoky Mountains I’d be happy to take you on a tour of the amazing roads (popular and less well known). Best of luck with your new Porsche.
Well done MotoMan! Enjoy your new car!
Almost the exact spec I’ve fantasized about in the configurator. (Red leather seats) What a beauty! Congrats from a long time subscriber.
You are "The Man" . Well deserved George. Happy road travels. 🎉
Yes the chrome windows with blue. Classic
Wow what an incredible spec and back story. Huge respect in many ways. 👏
Love this video. Built on what you have been telling us for years in terms of Porsche options.
Once again, the shirt was fabulous.
Leather surround on the steering column is a must have. Fitted it in my Boxster GTS4!
Looking forward to hearing about the seat!
Thank you, Daniel!
So envious, congrats on the gt3!
Congrats, 😯 what an awesome spec. That is my cup of tea right there. Beautiful. Enjoy every miles. Well deserved 👍🏼
With those buckets I hope you're going to the track!
Fantastic Porsche and great options. Can’t wait for your driving review.
Congratulations on your beautiful new GT3 Touring! Cheers from Charlotte, NC
Congrats on getting an allocation! Looking forward to more stories and adventures in this beaut!
Congrats Motor u r the Man! 🍷many many miles of smiles, now go row some gears ⚙️!
Congrats on getting your GT3! I've had 8 Porsches over 7 years before I got offered mine, and I didn't think I'd even get one.. However, I look forward to your driving impressions. Frankly, I personally wish this was a Black and White video.. so I didn't see your colour combinations.. All personal of course!
so happy for you, inspiring story and a beautiful masterpiece of a car!
Congratulations Sir from Europe, humbling to see your dreams coming true. Great spec GT3, name should be GT3GRETA🎉
Humbling indeed! Thank you, sir!
Been following you on RUclips for a while and I’m proud you finally got the dream car. Personally this is also my ideal perfect car. You nailed it on the color options, looks like something I would have picked out. Currently in a BMW and will be following in your footsteps in 5 years. I just hope Porsche will be building ICE engines, at least a Hybrid.😢 congrats on the beautiful Porsche!
Congrats on a awesome car!!!! FYI - The information you provide through this channel was paramount in my decision to find an allocation for a 2019 Carrera T when a lot of reviewers were ragging on it for being an end of run step-child of sorts. When you first reviewed the PDK version of the T, I was the one that commented - "Getting a 911T with an automatic trans was akin to buying an aerobatic airplane with and autopilot and letting the autopilot have all the fun!" And then your later review of a manual T concluded that it was a more "poor man's GT3" and was somewhat of an impressive sleeper in the Porsche lineup. Considering the difficulty of getting an allocation on anything let alone how hard it was to get one on my T at the time, if you don't have influential friends in the industry, it's not just about being "poor"! Anyway, I absolutely love my 2019 Carrera T (which turns out to be one of the only narrow body ones now) and I want to thank you for the help you provided in my making that choice. I couldn't be happier for you acquiring this car - it's well deserved my friend! Take care!ww
Glad to hear you are still enjoying your T . . . amazing car.
Congratulations sir! Super happy for you. A 911 is my dream car. Thank you for your transparency!
Congrats! Shocked about getting buckets in a touring, thankfully they’re tan. Think you forgot to mention the clear tail lights
Well after 20 years on RUclips I’m finally able to make comments and YOU get my first comment ! I subscribed to your channel in December of 2009 and have enjoyed it very much. I loved that you bought a Lexus LC for I worked for Lexus dealers for over 20 years now and have owned 5 and know that they are one of the best cars made. We have similar tastes in cars and noticed that many of the LFA’s were spec’s out with black interiors but you had as many selections as you did with Porsche. You’ve made a beautiful automobile with your selections, my hat off to you !
Honored this episode moved you to commenting . . . thank you for joining the conversation!
So happy for you ! Great car for a fantastic person with a great show!
Congrats! So cool! I always thought that silver 996 was yours. Epic build, but please get that out on track!! Life is too short - can you imagine, diving down the Laguna Cork Screw!
Congratulations on realizing your dream, such a good thing to do, happy for you and enjoy that gorgeous car, best to you,
Congratulations bud! Great spec and great advice at the end. See you at the lounge. -Jim
What a beautiful color. It suits this car so much. Great great choice my friend. Congratulations!
Congratulations!! I can't to get mines and you have my favorite color that I spec'd
WOW! Huge congratulations! That's pretty much how I'd spec it out, especially that color combination, although probably not with the carbon buckets and Manufaktur interior...so if you ever decide to sell this car, please put me on the top of your list!
Also, thanks for reminding us that in life, WHO you know is far more important than WHAT you know.
after the issues with delivery and spec, id go with 'jinx' from tomorrow never dies. congrats on your purchase, hope you get to enjoy it in good health!
Thank you, Steven . . . and while I love Ms Berry turn as a Bond girl, would have a hard time going with Jinx.
I love your spec, except for the bucket seats. They look super cool, but they're absurdly difficult to get in and out of, especially for an older guy with a bad back like me. The 18-way sport seats would be my pick. Porsche's options pricing is downright eye watering, but this is an amazing GT3 Touring specification.
Congrats! beautiful selections, everything flows PERFECTLY. I have always been of the Carmine red everything philosophy, but holy cow this has got me raising an eyebrow. Perfectly done.
Congratulations! What a stunningly gorgeous automobile! I heartily agree with all your choices of colors and options. As for your question about naming...I've never named any of my vehicles. That just never seemed right for me personally. However, I do have one tradition that I've done with all of my vehicles (including motorcycles) since 1985. While vacationing on Cape Cod, we stopped at a marine supply store. They sold small self-adhesive nautical code flag emblems. It was a common practice then to put your initials in said code flags on your boat, car, truck, etc. So, somewhere on the rear of my vehicle are my initials (first, middle, last) in code flags. They are small enough to be unobtrusive unless you are very close to the vehicle. Odd tradition perhaps, but it's a small way of showing that the vehicle is mine.
Best of luck with the new GT3. Enjoy!
Very unique approach!
Gorgeous machine. Congrats. Looking forward to future episodes with this vehicle.
Two are already shot . . .stay tuned.
I think you have houndstooth seat inserts for the buckets coming….that will look so awesome!
Great video, as always. Fantastic spec!!
Love it! Congrats and welcome to the world of Porsche ownership!!!!🎉
Congrats man. Enjoy it. And my feedback is one of the best videos yet! no debt helps you enjoy it more
Thank you, Marco!
Congratulations! The best daily driver sports coupe in the world!
Congrats on the car!!! Those options cost you a pretty penny…thus I dub this beaut of a Porsche that you’ve flirted with for years- “Moneypenny”.
Congratulations MM. An amazing 911 and one to call your own. The red trim did take a little while to appreciate
Congratulations MM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . So happy for you, very well deserved indeed and def is huge achievement. Nowadays getting anything GT is harder than ever, is in itself is such a rare ocurrence. Please do enjoy it with care because is such a special car. Thank god didn´t end up with the Python green too :D, this blue color is so much more appealing and proper for a non-wing 911. About the debt part, very well said and is great you share with everybody so people can watch a good example. In fact, in a month or two if all goes well i will be able to share something about it with you. I will let you know in private. Congrats again and enjoy it a lot.
Thank you, Javi . . . and thank you for your friendship over all these years. Excited to hear your news! In your country in about 10 days. GRX.
Congratulations on your new car, im so happy you got ur dream car and sharing your experience with us😊
Man, you literally got the best Porsche available now and... is really perfectly specd. Congrats!
Congrats and welcome to the Porsche owner community!! Awesome spec! Love it!!!!
Congratulations!! Incredible what can be accomplished with a few years of dedication and passion. RUclips is a true miracle. Beautiful car and literally impossible to get without industry connections. Count your blessings and be sure to thank everyone!
A big congrats, Love your show! That Porsche 911 GT3 with Touring Package is the epitome of restraint, just the right amount of show without screaming "Look at me". Nicely done, enjoy!
Exactly!
So good to see you realize the dream!. Also an ex-Lotus driver (Exige ‘06’) and Porsche pilot (Cayman ‘06). I’m afraid this particular beauty is out of my league, but nice to see one in the hands of someone who will appreciate the hell out of it.
congrats my friend! well done!!!
Congrats MotoMan! Beautiful ride, and spec'd perfectly. I fell for the Gentian Blue myself, I never thought that black interior doesn't go well with it, but the standard browns Porsche offers are nothing to write home about, so I went for the black with chalk contrast stitching. My 992 was also a "Corona victim", I ordered/paid for performance delivery in Atlanta, but picked the car up in front of the dealer's warehouse (at the beginning of COVID car dealers weren't allowed to do business where I live, so they played the delivery safe). I had my mock-delivery in Atlanta last fall, and enjoyed every second there with the instructor on their race track.
My suggestion for naming your car is Halle or Berry - don't ask, first thing that came to mind when you asked the question.
Safe travels and enjoy your beautiful car on those future road trips!
You were lucky to get yours before the depths of the sh*t show.
