Another proud new owner....

Picked up my 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio on Friday afternoon, and drove it back to LA this weekend with my wife and son. What a car, and what a great way to get to know it.

We were in Colorado on Memorial Day weekend, and I stopped by the dealer to look at two 911 turbos. I initially wasn't a fan of the Porsche Racing Green, but in person it is an amazing color. The car also had more options than I wanted/needed, but as they say...they made me an offer that I couldn't refuse! So we planned the trip this past weekend to pick it up and drive it home. Stopped over in Albuquerque to visit some friends, and then to the Grand Canyon on Sat./Sun.

This is easily the most amazing machine I've ever driven (or had the pleasure of riding in). The amount of power is just unbelieveable, and it's always there. (And I drove very carefully and adhered to the speed limit, as my son was in the back the entire time.)

Already ordered the clear side turn signals and a few other mods... any suggestions?!?

Here are a few photos...more later.
