Not quite grasping the question. I do love my wife and I will try to find info on the residual.

What does one have to do with the other?

It was a joke based on the way you phrased your wording. Like most jokes they are not funny if you have to explain them Sorry.

Thanks for posting the video Im4citadel, I enjoyed every minute of it.

They touched on a number of controversial topics we explore from time to time didn't they; which drives better a 911 or a Cayman, the power and speed of double clutch transmissions and is a 4 wheel drive really better than a 2 wheel drive. These guys do a terrific job driving at speed and describing what they are feeling while doing it. I'm amazed because I know to do my best, I have to focus all my concentration on one task. I am surprised that again they proved the fastest car is not the best driver's car! But I love the results and anticipated it after driving the 4S in the roadshow.

Thanks again, it was very enjoyable.

Chuck I loved watching it as well.

I particularly loved the way they intro duced 1st place.

The music...the slow motion shots.

I now know exactly what my wife was feeling when she saw Leonardo Dicaprio being revealed in the great gatsby..

Just one more photo from pickup day with my salesman.

Still cant believe im driving this beast.

Each day is better than the next. Its surreal.

Cant wait for the rally and to meet all the Potomac members.

Anyone get Porsche Design crazy post car purchase.

Got sunglasses and a warmup jacket. Good quality.

Saw some watches but I would rather save the money for a panarei. Am I alone here?

Congratulations! Love the color and wheel combination, though I am biased.

Enjoy it in good health.

I've owned six BMW's and five Porsches, and they are both great cars, but with different approaches to get to essentially the same place. I think the Porsches are more robust & reliable overall, but also over-priced by $ 20,000 or so. But my garage is BMW-less right now (except for a K1600 motorcycle) so I'm paying that Porsche price hit as well.

2) Is there a meetup of Porsche drivers in the DC area?

There is always PCA which is quite active in this area, but if you just want to dabble your toes in the water come out to the Deutsche Marque Concours Sunday May 4th in Vienna VA. There will usually be about (50) or so Porsches on display and its a great way to kill a Sunday morning if the weather is nice. Last year they started allowing non-entry 'cool' cars to pull into the display area in the non-judging portion of the field. Just come in the main entrance to Nottoway Park and park next to the fence line in the first opening rather than going into the parking lot with the Miata's....lol

Congrats, and drive the new car well! I also came from a BMW (2011 M3), and there really is no comparison. Enjoy it!

Seems like a fairly typical progression from BMW to Porsche. I've just got out of an M3.

The question is, what comes next?
