First post and new 991

First post now that I have taken delivery of my 2013 -991 (2c). Have not had a lot of time to join and post, since we were one of the hurricane Sandy victims. Lost my 2011 Cayman and flooded our home. Good news is that all of these things can be replaced and we are all safe!
Tired of dealing with insurance and adjusters, but the purchase of my 991 was great, thanks to the folks at Paul Miller Porsche. Made a painless transaction and fair pricing.
Best part was the car I purchased was on ship when I purchased and ship hit port on Christmas Eve. Delivery to dealer was last Friday.
Now for the particulars, which are very basic:

Dark Blue Metallic
Luxor Beige
Online Services
Seat heating
Seat ventilation
Sunroof in glass
Steering wheel heating
Porsche crest wheel caps
Sirius/XM Sat
Multi-function steering wheel
Model designation "911"
7 speed manual
Smoking package

Now will try to find the time to drive and enjoy. I am not new to Porsche having owned a 2003 C4s and the 2011 Cayman. Long time Corvette owner. Having owned eight of them, almost every generation from a 1963 split window to my last one, a 2008 convertible ( included a 2001 Z06).
I have become a convert to Porsche and now enjoy not only horsepower/torque, but also handling and fit and finish.
Look forward to interacting with the group!

nice! I also recently went from a 2011 Cayman to a 2013 911 (base PDK to base PDK). night and day difference in power, comfort. The best part was the exhaust note. so much sweeter.

Mine came upside down too! I never did figure out why it does that.

Congratulations on the new car. Good colour combo, but then I am biased.

Welcome aboard! I recently traded my ZO6 and Hemi Challenger in at Paul Miller for my new Carrera; they are great people to do business with.

Enjoy the car in good health, and post some more pictures when you get the chance.

Congrats and welcome to 6!

Every once in a while something will happen that shakes us to our core and "wakes us up" I'm just glad in this case you and your family are OK and that the cherry is a brand new 991!

We look forward to interacting with you as well!

Again Congrats!

Glad to have another new owner on the site, like me!
I needed to find others that love the cars to talk with as my wife pretty much falls asleep as soon as I mention the 'P' word.
Porsche that is.

Congratulations pcar991. Sorry you were involved in Sandy, but glad you and your family are okay. Ironically, I've also had Corvettes (including a C6 which is a good car) and a blue Pcar similar to yours. Welcome to 6speed and have a great ride.

I took the liberty to turn yours and place them next to my 1970 blue one (which is of course, not metallic).
