Saying Goodbye for now....

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks to all of you. Thanks for all the great advice and information you all take the time to post on this forum. I recently made a deposit on a new Audi R8 and decided to sell my 997. I do plan to continue to frequent this forum and I do plan to be back in a P-Car sometime in the future, but it's bye bye for now.

I listed my 997 on cars.com and a couple of other sites and amazingly it sold within 2 weeks. So, now I'm sports-car-less for a couple of months. I'll keep reading 6speed and living vicarously through you guys.

Soon I'll be listing a bunch of goodies for sale that I picked up along the way, here's a sampling, Denison Gateway with Bluetooth module still new in the box, clear side markers, color center caps, 997 C4S exhaust tips with FVD adapter so they seamlessly fit a base 997, Mobil 1 Oil Bag, an almost perfect set of Porsche 19" lobster fork wheels with Pirelli PZero Tires (rears only have about 500 miles on them), a brand new Das Schild frunk protector with a custom Porsche Logo, and a bunch of other stuff too. Anyway, I'll post those over in the for sale forum by weeks end.

Again, it's been a blast hearing your stories, reading about your experiences, and being a part of the great camraderie here. Thanks!

R8 is one beautiful car, don't blame you, stick around, we'll still be here. Post pics when you get it, we are not just Porsche fanatics, we are car fanatics as well.

Ha ha I have been living vicariously through everyone for years now... Love seeing photos of P cars as well as Audis. I hold no bias so long as the car is beautiful.

I'm getting a V10 coupe. I debated for a bit, but I think I'll be keeping it for a long time so I went all out.

Thanks for the well wishes guys.

I'm getting the manual.

Here's the list of options I chose:

Jet Blue with Tuscan Brown Interior
Carbon Fiber Sideblades
MMI Nav/B&O Stereo
19" Five Arm Double Spoke Wheels (custom painted in exterior color with brushed lip and inner rim)
Illuminated Door Sill Inserts
Alcantara Headliner
Perforated Multi-Function Steering Wheel
Enhanced Leather Package

I think there may be one or two other things that my wife asked me to add when we went to order it, they were small cosmetic things though.
