Thumbs up My car has a garage buddy!!

I am so stoked right now; My wife just bought a clean, white CPO '08 C2, pretty darn loaded from Momentum. We can't wait for all the paperwork to go through and pick it up in a few weeks. The drive back to CA will be fabulous! Pics to follow, of course...

The car looks fantastic (in the pictures on their website, at least.) Is there anyone close to Momentum Porsche in Houston or is heading there anyway, to be able to stop by and take a quick look at the exterior/interior for us?

Last 5 VIN is 10957

Thanks!!!

Alan (and Sandy)

I hope your joking-being sarcastic...

Maybe another way to approach this would be to congratulate the new owners of their very nice car and wish them well.

BTW, I own a C2 Coupe (non "S") and its plenty of car for me (and yeah, I am a 6' 5" 220 lbs man).

Unless you plan on tracking your car, a non "S" version for the street is plenty of car. In fact, I bet you dont even use 25% of its potential driving on the street (unless of course you like expensive speeding tickets).

Good luck, enjoy, and many years of happy and healthy driving!

Steve

Checked out the pics and your new P car is a very nice find!

Does the new one complement another in the garage?

Anywho, Congrats!

Agree. The S seems like a waste of money for street driving.

sweet ride

Funny you said its not "Man enough" but the poster said it was his girlfriends new car. I'm happy to have bought an S but I doubt most people would poo poo a base either.

Nice pick up.

I think your wife will enjoy it. Congrats to you both and enjoy the road trip back. Some of the best quality time I have spent with my lady has been on road trips across country!

Should be an awesome car. Many folks opt for less options but if you get a deal, I think you'll enjoy the bells and whistles. Enjoy the ride and congratulations on a great addition.

Great find. With the full leather interior, power heated seats, Bose, sport shifter, low mileage etc., you will get much enjoyment out of this car. Congratulations.

Very nice car. I am not a huge fan of the supple leather, but the car is very nice. Enjoy it.

I'm not in Houston right now but you should have no problem with Momentum, very reliable in every way...
