He loves his new toy! It's finally home

We actually brought this baby home 2 weeks ago, but we’ve been too busy driving we haven’t had time to take pics and sit down to upload! He’s literally running on adrenaline. At the crack of dawn, we’re off to the gym at6am. After the kids are asleep, he hiresa babysitter so we’re off again for late night movie or drinks or drive towherever. He’s addicted!! I don’t know what he was more excited for-graduation or his car!

Huge props goes out to Raj, Paul, and Anthony at P Miller’sfor smooth transactions, keep this secret from him for 3 months , the goodies, and getting us connected with the 2nd and 3rd owners. This was well cared for and done right. Meeting up with the prior owners laid to rest my concerns to purchasing a modded car. It has everything on his wish list and then some. Everything we wanted done on the cab was already done to this one: it’s flashed, CF interior and exterior, iforged concave wheels, 2 subs (one in the frunk and the other behind the rear seats), a lifesaving Valentine radar already put in heavy use (super cool on the rearview mirror display), ipod hookup plus Bluetooth & mic, still figuring out the 2 remote controls, Fabspeed exhaust, gt2 kit…. And an appointment with Undercover tuning to figure out the rest! We don’t want to assume hp’s at this point since we’re told it rangesfrom 650 to700, but truth be told next Friday when Garth puts it on the dyno.

Enough talk, more pics of the car, previous owner giving atutorial, and its sister cab. I’m sure our neighbors are hating the 630am wakeup calls when these 2 are fired up in the morning

Sorry, all iphone pics for now. The guys all in the surprise. Then we caravanned to dinner and drinks with our families. We've been invited over for a pool party, kept in touch, and actually discovered Eddie and myself work nearby in the city. Small world.

Very cool! Enjoy the car, its a lot of fun on 295 if you know what I mean I'm digging the wheels, a nice twist on the oem turbo twist style

You're in great hands with Garth, if you're going next Friday you'll see my yellow turbo there as well.

Thanks! Well, I broke down mid-way through. I brought him there for a test drive because I wasn't 100% sure he'd like the mods. I love the mods, but some prefer the classic looks. I was extremely relieved he laughed like a kid at his 1st boost.

Thank you, and lucky wife! IMO, my cab is the best accesory for my outfits. I get so much more attention with it than any purses or shoes. The cab is my little black dress while the turbo is my daisy dukes, t-shirt & yoga pants kinda day. Maybe you can pitch that to her next time you buy a car?

Sweet! Very nice backdrops and those rims... beautiful. I'll look him up. Hopefully we can meet up at the shop. The car will be inspected bright and early then moved to pennsauken for the dyno at noon. Need to make sure things are tight, no leaks, and safe for the track. I'm going to bring some grub for the guys at the shop. Going to be a long day.

Nice! I'll see if I can make it down to check out the car. My new turbos should be in by then too.

Thanks for the kind words, MadWhip. Guess I'm lucky to find a guy who will buy me a 911 instead of a minivan!
