Bought my first Porsche
I've been thinking about getting a 911 Turbo for near-on a decade, but today I finally took the plunge and plunked down the cash for this beauty:



I had to fight off the urge to fly out to the dealership and drive it home this weekend It should be in my driveway in a couple of weeks, which is enough time to get the garage prepped for it and start planning my modifications!

your's starting with a 997TT? wow!

your S and SL will seem like pigs in comparison. you might miss the torque though.

it takes 2 wks to get the car? no way! it should only take a day to get it prepped. be sure not to let anyone test drive it!
