Question What did I buy?

I just bought a 2004 911 Carrera 4s Cabriolet. It's got a six speed manual, Bose sound and Nav system, but reading the forums I feel like there is more to know about what options, etc, it has. Basically, I'm not sure what I bought. How can I figure out what all the car has and what I can have fun playing with?

Sorry if that sounds stupid, but this is my first Porsche and I'm kinda lost.

Your options codes should be listed on the underside of your hood. Going through the manual a couple times will also familiarize you with the different features, which you can look for in your car.

You can also pay a small fee to suncoast porsche (I'm sure others probably do this) and they will decode your VIN for you, letting you know specifically which features your car came with, etc. You may also have the same luck calling your local Porsche dealer and asking them to run your VIN.

Welcome, post pics of the new ride!!
