New Turbo owner!

Well guys, I finally am a member of the club! I've never owned a Porsche before, and all I can say is "WHY DIDN'T I BUY ONE SOONER???" The car is everything I could have ever wanted! I'm trying like crazy to resist the "mod bug," but I just ordered a set of Bilsteins today! The HRE P40's will be next, then maybe the AWE 650 package early next year (have to break her in first)! Special thanks goes to Larry (yrralis1) for helping me out with the dealerships in southern FL! I eventually bought the unit from "The Collection" in Coral Gables, FL. They were extremely professional and the buying process couldn't have been smoother. Eddie Diaz was the salesman I dealt with (very professional guy). I actually had a bad experience at Suncoast (which was odd because they get rave reviews on this forum...PM me if anyone wants the details). I'm just really happy with the car and you guys at 6speedonline.com are a wealth of information. I learn a TON from you that I wouldn't otherwise. Thanks to all of you for your knowledge and enthusiam! I've never posted pics before (I'm not very good with the camera) but here goes a try!

Yup. Doc is a prime example of being bitten early by the 'mod bug'. He already has all his mods in the garage a week before his Turbo arrived .

You got their last Turbo coupe and the car really is a beauty . The aqua on natural brown is unique and stunning . I liked that car from the moment I saw it and I'm really glad you made it all the way to Miami . I enjoyed meeting you and hope you make it back soon.

Congrats !!! Enjoy those miles in the best of health and happiness.
