C2S Cab FINALLY!

Finally after a long haul from a dealer trade in Washington it is FINALLY here. I must say that Reeve's in Tampa really took care of my wife and I. Our salesman Henery was AWESOME. The dealer trade did not go very well due to the Washington state dealer being a bit hard to deal with then forgetting to send the car and then the manager went on vacation and then the shipping company route problems. All in all Reeves took excellent care of us.

I wish I had better pictures to show off the 2 tone wheels beeter but the color of the wheel is titanium and looks a little smoked in color and the lip is shiny burshed like aluminum. I have no choice with the Tiptronic option because 3 years ago I was in a motocycel accident and lost my entire left leg so therefore I can not push a clutch anymore. the Tip is actually fun to mess around with. 2 days and my wife and I are up to 250 miles. This 2000 mile no more than 4200rpm break in is TUFF...I can't stand it!

Here are some pictures.

2005 C2S Cab
Triple Black
Tiptronic
Full Leather
Supple Leather
Carrera Sport Wheels (305's in the rear!)
Sport Chrono
Power Seats w/ memory
CD Changer
Bose
Nav
Self Dim Mirrors
Porsche Matts
Fabspeed Mufflers
Clear Marker lights
Clear Bra

A few more. While my car was on the show room floor for a day and while we were doing the delivery 2 guys asked my sales man if these wheels were the new 07 wheels they liked them so much. Pictures do not do them justice and they are a bargin of a Porsche option if you do not want to shell out thousdands for aftermarket wheels.
I am totally happy and very impressed with the Fabspeed mufflers. The sound awesome not too loud not too quiet and no cabin resonance. I can't wait to rev it over 4200 rpm.

Oh don't worry my wife and I love those rims. Acutally we were going to change them to the Carrerra Classic 5 spoke rims but our Porsche salesman showed them to us 1st and we loved them. they do not look near as good in the Porsche catalog book or on the website but in person they look awesome. I'm glad our salesman took the time to show them to us 1st.

Nice car, Congrats. I have the same wheels and I love em' too. I believe the centers are Seal Grey from the factory. My friend has a Seal Grey car with those wheels too and they look color matched.

Porsche did a great job with the paint on this car. It looks so wet! The dealer did a full detail on it and I added some ReJex to keep it protected. Before I shot the photo's I wiped it down with a new Mequires type of instant detailed and a mircofiber cloth. Now I just need to keep the piant this way. I have never used Zano Bros before but I hear a lot of good stuff about it.

thanks for the thought on the leg. I get around just fine on my C-Leg prosthetic leg..a little slower but still do most anything I use to do. I was on my Ducatti 998 on a major 4 lane road with shops and resturants all around and a old guy in a old minivan was coming down the center turn lane, I was in the left lane and he turned right into me at the very last second. The was a cop right behind me who saw the whole thing. The old man tried to run from the scene too. My femur bone was broke and shattered so bad it riped my main artury and the doctors tried but could not restore bllod flow to my leg. Luckly I do have about 8" on femur bone and a little muscle in my very upper thigh. Although 8" of femur is not much for a guy that is around 6'5" tall! My arms were broke up with compund factures too. I was only going 38mph and I had a Arai full face helmet and full carbon proctected leather jacket and boots. If I did not have this safety equipment on I would be dead. I just can't stand it when I see riders with out proper gear on. I am back in the swing of things, still play my drums, go boating and love driving the Porsche even though it's a Tiptronic.
