I felt the same way, they grew on me after looking at them many many times. Old school but so clean.
I almost cancelled my C63 order as I was obsessed about getting a Black Edition GT-R.

Don't make me go to NAGTROC to troll for pictures, keep us updated

This thread continues to evolve nicely.

That '12 GT-R is a technological tour de force, combined with the outright performance to perplex many a European supercar pilot.

Wishing for you many rewarding miles. Congratulations, Phil!

Thanks, guys!

Finally got to take some pictures out in the sun today. I love the way the blue sparkles and changes hue in the sun:

Phil, congrats bro. That's one sexy color. I hope she treats you well and keeps you safe. Congrats on the C Coupe too bro. Did you choose the color? Is it going to be white?

What's going to happen to the M5? Is the GTR going to be the weekend beast?

lol, I still have the M5! It's been parked since I got the GT-R, but I'm going to switch off during the week. The GT-R attracts a lot of attention, so I want to keep it on the DL sometimes.

yup, the original color for the coupe was Artic White, then I wanted Diamond White, but for Diamond, you have to pay $720 for metallic and then an additional $795 for Diamond White, so I went back to Artic White.

I wish I hit the lotto! I would have a 458 if I did!

what Frank said!

I started with the 230 when I was still in grad school (before that I had a 280). Then I went to the M3, got rid of it for the M5 and now got the GT-R It's great being out of school and making dough.

I love the metalic flakes in the day shots.

Yeah true the 203's resale value has gone down significantly lol. It's also nice to have a second car that you don't have to worry as much about.

It is all worth it man. I just graduated from Boston University this past May with a software engineering degree and let me tell you, the 4 years of hell and sleepless nights getting through school is well worth it. I managed to land a well paying job that is allowing me to do what I want with my C. Put the time and effort into whatever you do and you can be in that 1/4 million dollar car you've always dreamed of

Shake, it's crazy, you first came on here as a high school kid who wanted to put neon underglows on his w203. Now, you're graduating from UMich. Congrats man! It's good to see that you went to a great school. I know you'll do well. You sacrificed the w203 for school and unlike many other kids you see on the forums, you weren't spoiled and bought a new 911 for going to a community college. Just keep up the good work ethic and you'll be money. Good luck with your senior year!

haha, yeah it probably was my mom driving it. What are you driving these days? I used to see your w210 around Torrance as well.

I'm an attorney.

I really didn't like the pics I had taken. So, I took some more pics today.

I'm actually happy with these three pictures now:
