Congrats! You'll love the car and wonder why you didn't take the plunge long ago. I'll never get rid of mine.

Thanks! and the obvious question No real excuse. Sure woulda saved much $$ if i had started w/ the 993tt. No porsche i have owned so far (9) compares w/ the 993tt–it's really hittn the spot.

of course I have never owned or driven a GT/GT2/GT3...

The Carrera GT is a phenomenal car and I love it but if I could put it in "human terms" it would go something like this - I love my CGT but I am in love with my 993tt.

By the way, how do you like you Cayenne?

great way to put it!!

liking the cayenne. put 7k miles on it so far. i replaced a 08 F250 Powerstroke. i have 3 bernese mountain dogs who REALLY like it because now they get to go on "spirited drives" inside w/ me as opposed to boring drives bouncing around the bed of the truck. Tows great (24' gradywhite).
