I just drove...

...130 fantastic miles in my new '12 carrera gts. The widebody is voluptuous, the power is addicting, and the sweet sound of the sport exhaust makes me swoon. I could do this all day with a few quick breaks for food and water. Was tempted briefly by the upcoming 991, but in the end the bird in hand won out. Will post pics for anyone interested as soon as possible.

Of course we're interested! That's like wondering whether a man married to Keira Knightley would enjoy naked pictures of Kirsten Dunst.

I'd of picked actresses from my own era, but their vigorous young offspring might hunt me down for insulting their nana. Sigh.

Chuckles.

And the OP's comment about PSE once again threatens to separate my money from my wallet. I'm just so unsatisfied with my stock exhaust...

i cannot get over how brilliant this car is in person. excuse the poor quality camera snapshots. they simply do not capture the essence of this car. only thing missing is tint--waiting for that next week. i think it'll accent the wheels nicely. now i just have to make sure it's light enough not to attract any leo's.

OK... I'm officially jealous. Putting one on my Christmas list for next year... damn! I have to be good for a whole year again! At my age, staying on the "nice" list is getting to be a real challenge!
