I completely understand the feeling of awe one gets when getting behind the wheel of a P car. Mine is in its 13th month with me, purchased it new, not a DD, have about 5,000 miles. I have a 2007 Impala work car as my DD.................I can never avoid the grin that overcomes me after spending so much time in the seat of my Impala.

The feeling does not wear off, at least not for me, always amazed at the "owning the road" feeling and the feeling that everyone else is standing still.

The only vehicle experience that came close to giving me that feeling was taking out my 2007 Black Harley Davidson Police special Ultra Glide, all black, on a gorgeous spring day heading out to the end of Long Island or a weekend trip upstate.

Getting older, for me, nothintg gives me the feeling of the P car, like nothing else I have driven.

Enjoy and best of luck..........................

I love my carrera classic wheels. They're easy to clean and allow ample room for you to reach through and clean the brakes.

Beautiful car! Was it purchased new with the clear side markers? I got mine at Suncoast. Much cleaner look than the amber.

Great car. My first 911 was a 997tt, but I drove all the 911's (base, S, turbo) at the Porsche driving school and I was amazed what capable and great cars they all are, from the base to the top of the line (GT2RS?).

... and I like the wheels a lot (though I like my Fuchs replicas more).

Enjoy the car and drive it! I'm almost 4 years and 53,000 miles and going strong with little maintenance other that regular fluid changes, plus still have original clutch and only recently replaced rear brakes @ 51,000 miles

Not to mention i drive it 12 months of the year including rain, snow & especially sunshine!

best car i've ever owned and i've been through 22 cars since 1995

Your rear brakes (pads supposedly) needed replacement before the fronts ?!?
