If the original comment had said there were no 2017 GT3s
exported for sale to the US, I would merely have stated the car was purchased in Germany by a US Serviceman and shipped here when he PCS'd. I wasn't aware of that, not sold here as '17s, but it was essentially irrelevant to the presentation of facts. I was correctly stating I had driven a
2017 Porsche GT3. At the time, the backstory was immaterial. My original response was only to show, which it did, that there were in fact 2017 GT3s. My follow-on, which was the backstory, explained whether or not they were for sale
in the US as 2017 models was immaterial as to the stated fact, supra. As was RH/LHD.
As I said, I joined this forum to learn about and discuss BMWs. The poster who took a great deal of time trying to disprove my factual statements appears to be a senior member of the forum from whom I would have liked to garner knowledge. He never considered the reality of Americans in foreign countries buying cars that weren't yet on sale here. I was not aware that different countries for some arcane reason choose to model year cars differently than we do. More precise communication would have been nice.
