Just Picked her Up!

Hello everyone! It's really great to be back in the Porsche camp, as I've been AWOL since the eighties.

I just got my car, and the biggest problem I see right off is trying to behave within the break-in period. I was doing great for the first 160 miles, but I fell off the wagon last night. I needed to confess!

But I'm really gonna try to do better from here on in.

I really look forward to sharing information and discussing the great 991 with everyone here.

Nice car! I love the sport package front facia and rear wing as that is what I'm putting on my white one I'm ordering. You loving the 7 speed MT?

Congrats! What do you think of the sport package, does it turn out better in person? I am not sure if you seen one in person before ordering it. I have yet to see one.

Thank you!

Thanks for all the nice compliments!

I do love the seven-speed manual. I had originally ordered a Guards red Carrera S with the PDK trans, but then came the twist of fate: I happened to be visiting the dealership when this car rolled off the truck. I was literally stunned, and can compare the feeling to the first time I'd met my wife; I had to have her, just point out anyone I may have to kill to solidify the deal.

My salesman informed me that the car had been specially ordered, but the customer was now encountering financial problems, so I was able to get the car. Thank you, Anthony and the SM at Paul Miller!

I forgot the Marroni at the dealership and I'm not sure about every option; I'll list them when Fed-X drops it off.

That is a spectacularly good looking 991!! Enjoy. If yours was built recently, you may have the rev matching feature too, when in sport plus.

Awesome-looking car! Great catch! Just imagine the months of lifetime you saved by snagging this off the truck Jealous. I had to wait 10 months, July 2011-May 2012...
