Holy sh*t, finally...

I can't believe it, after almost two years of dreaming about a Turbo I finally have joined this exclusive club with you guys. Most of you know I had ordered an 09 with PCCB's full yellow stiching and many other options, but when the car came I decided not to take it mainly because this economy has scared the sh*t out of me and also b/c I felt like I could find and 07/08 minus the stiching for over 30k less, don't get me wrong I wanted the 09 with the new nav, bluetooth etc. but for me 30k is still alot of money, so the search began.... and I finally picked her up last night
2007 Basalt Black/Black-LSD, Sport Chrono, Adaptives, PCCB's, Crest, Sport shifter, 6CD changer, thicker sport wheel, mats and heated seats.

THIS CAR IS AMAZING, I can't believe how fast it is even w/o the sport button on. The handiling is from another world compared to the AMGs that I've owned and some other cars that I've driven. I couldn't pull in to my garage last night I just wanted to keep driving.
Please no ban, I know thread is usless w/o pics so I will have them up later today.
Now some questions:
The dealer did not have the window sticker, anyway I can get a copy from Porsche? (Didn't get the car from Porsche dealer)
Any Long Island guys want to get together so I can see and hear some Turbos with exhaust??

Porsche actually has their own infant child seat! They are readily available, you can view them here:


Porsche Infant Seat - 0-26 lbs




And congrats on the car! It is a dream come true!

Call Porsche Car North America, they can send you a "Certificate of Authenticity", commonly referred to as a CARDEX, which is close to the original window sticker. Last I checked, it was around $200.

Infant Car Seat

I've had a hard time finding an infant car seat that will fit well in the back seats. I've found most car seats to be too wide to fit well. (Most seats fit fine in the front).

I have found a booster car seat that fits in the back great - the Britax Monarch Booster Car Seat.
