Just pulled the trigger...

on a '06 C4S - my first Porsche after over 40 years of lusting for one. Came into a few bucks, and finally indulged myself. It's black with gray interior, SCP, Bose, nav., and power seats - also, Techart wheels and exhaust. 21,500 miles and 3 weeks left on the factory warranty. I live in the mountains of Southern California (6200 feet up) and commute weekly to San Diego. This will be my daily driver and weekend AX / track day car - it will not be a garage queen. I just picked it up yesterday, and I can now state that I have never driven a better car - it satisfies in every respect. Pic's to follow soon.

Excellent! Enjoy your 911. If you have never driven powerful sports cars and 911s in particular take it easy and perhaps some DE lessons are in order.

Congratulations. So Cal is an ideal place for a Porsche. I have used mine (on my 3rd now) as daily drivers for almost 3 years. Autocross is a blast too. Glad to hear you plan to thoroughly enjoy your car.

Any thoughts on pedals or adjustments? Compared to the Miata we have been AX'ing, the gas pedal sems low in relation to the brake pedal when braking and downshifting.
