FINALLY--my dream car is in my garage--new to me 997S

Well-I finally got her here. I sent deposit almost a month ago and have been waiting it seems forever to finally get her.
Although there were a few things that were not disclosed by the dealer about the car(nothing some TLC can fix and some warranty work)-I got a fair deal and ended up trading my S4 also. Dealer is Utah, about 2600 miles away from me.
Sooo, with out a doubt I present my new to me, dream car-
Launch 997--Ceramic brakes, sport crono, full leather, nav, sport seats, short shift and a partrige in a pear tree.




Yeahh i know the pics are terrible but I will do a photo shoot this weekend.
I already got the windows tinted and got the clear markers. I also ordered a week ago a Fabspeed Exhaust, Fabspeed tips, H&R springs, GT3 cup bumper with insert and Rennworxx wheels with Ps2 tires.
I am going to get the 3m bra put on after I get the new bumper put on and plan on doing a oil change and get one small ding removed.

I am so stoked about the car and feel blessed that I was able to finally get one of my dream cars..
This weekend the wheels come in and next week i should have the rest of the parts on. I plan on taking some photos inbetween and share the progress of my new project..

Well, I am getting used to the car right now and have not really opened her up. I had a AWD and now going back to a RWD I got to get some practice. The only thing I really dont like is the navigation. I was spoiled in my audi, or maybe just really used to operating it.
I plan on actually going to the track with this car. I have a friend with a s2000 who is always going up to Gainesville for track meets.
Overall the car is freaking amazing. I really feel blessed to have one. I cant wait to get more aquainted and then open here up. I need to personalize it a little also, put a little more "unique" to it and then voilla.

I wish there was some porsche guys here I could meet up with or some enthusiast. I am sure if I go to "cars and coffee" this weekend I will prob. meet some then.

ok, one question. I would like to make sure my beauty does not get messed with but I cannot ever tell if she is locked or not. It came with a lojack which I am not sure if it even works, but because the car does not beep when you lock it i can never tell if it is(locked). Did you guys get an alarm for it or is there a way to make it beep for ya
