Giddy like a school boy!

It is with great enthusiasm that I join the elite group of 997 Turbo owners. After several years of lamenting on what to replace my trusty and highly modified E60 M5 with I finally found my perfect replacement. This highly optioned and tastefully modified 2012 Porsche Turbo S Cabriolet will be mine as of tomorrow.
The car is one of many owned by another very meticulous Sixspeeder. The original MSRP was approved. $185K and has most everything I was looking for. The aftermarket mods include Champion wheels, H&R springs, Cargraphics flap exhaust, LED interior and exterior lights, hard wired Valentine One radar detector,and lots of carbon fibre. I am flying up to Sacramento in the morning to meet the seller and pick up the car. After pick up I will head south west to Santa Cruz and down one of my favorite stretches of California Hwy 1 through Monterey,Big Sur., Carmel and down to Santa Barbara where I will spend the night. I plan on departing early Saturday am and will be heading to Fontana and the Porsche Festival of Speed. All and all it should be a fantastic time and a great way to get familiar with my new ride. Thanks to all who contributed to my understanding of these fantastic automobiles!

Very nice. The 993TT is one of the best looking Porsches ever made IMHO!

The car doesn't look lowered in the pics. You sure about the H&R Springs?

Jeffry, Saw your cab at the Speedway today, You weren't with the car, too bad, we could have shared notes on Hwy 1 driving. I bet you had a great time, and your car looks beautiful, and properly lowered.
