My name is Chad and I'm a Porsche-holic

I welcomed a new to me 04 CS into my garage. The race car has a big brother to tow it around.
First thoughts after driving 600+ miles in one day....Fun, great freeway cruiser, handles on/off ramps very well, annoyed by 1 second delay when you floor it, Xenons are great, Sound is great (gotta check to see if it has Fabspeed 2nd cat deletes...fingers-crossed but it looked stock with quick glance.)

Options:
White/Grey Leather- Dark Wood (May swap out for Aluminum)
Nav
Tow
20 inch Sport Technos (with new tires )
Heated seats front and back
Bi Xenon
Red Turbo calipers (really dirty..damn brake dust)
Painted lower body work
a ton of other options except air susp

The need to replace list:
1 key/fob
Rear hatch struts (I need to do a search to see how to replace them)

Also a big thanks goes to Kevin M. for helping me out with all my questions.

Now for the pics.... I do not want to get flamed

Good eye (although very hard to miss that bright orange huh ) I already ordered on my Iphone somewhere around the 200 mile mark of my drive...

I'm thinking about doing the same thing! Actually, if this was just on eBay, I looked at this one! Great choice. I like it a lot!

Thanks everyone. I'm having fun with it.

It has the stock suspension, not lowered. The 20's just make it look that way.

Yep I bought it from the dealer who at one time listed it on ebay.

My name is Chad and I'm a Porsche-holic

Congrats Chad!! Nice acquisition!! My wife really wants one. I have to get another P-car in the garage soon! I met you years back in Modesto if you remember, I had a 78 911 SC at the time and you had 2 early 911's in the garage. Hope all is well and take care. Look forward to seeing more mods on the Cayenne. If ever up this way again, drop me a line.

Paul
