Jeff, i will, thanx. Driving this generation (997.2) is the reason i chose this model. My budget WAS much higher (GT3 or GTS) but practicality came too mind. This is a car i can take to LA to visit the kids ( i could take the Camaro but try parking that a Target or Holiday Inn, plus i've already had one nice ride "snatched" ). While this car is super nice, its not a collector car, its a driving machine.

This is the first Porsche i've ever owned and the first car i've ever purchased that i've saved up for (part is financed, but thats another discussion) and wanted. The Camaro (dis-traction) I love and may never sell, but i "ended up" with it, got it from some friends "totaled" and fixed it up....

Driving this car is like driving a scalpel, the difference between cutting your meat with a knife vs a scapel. So precise and thought out for the driver (performance minded)

Awesome! I love Porsche. I wouldn't mind owning a Cayenne as my family hauler.

Enjoy the new ride

Well, i've driven it over 3k, and this is by far the best car i've ever driven. I'm lovin it so far....don't get me wrong, i love my F-body and its done well, cant wait for it to be done with this phase, but.... This car was and is absolutely set up for the driver. I'm 5'10, 180lbs this car just fits. The shifting, tach placement, steering gearing, torque, blindspots (lack of) and the list goes on and on....its modern day pro-touring, drives like a pro, and great for touring....

Not my house, just a jobsite i went to last eve, then took my bride to Mission Ranch in Carmel. Man, that place is nice!!!

Well, i dont think i'd kick a "vette" outa bed for eatin crackers, but this german thingy is just right.

A while back, i read an article in Car & Driver, and the writer said, "ya wanna know why the Germans and Japanese are kicking our a$$ at building cars? one word, NATO. Our greatest minds are going into defense contractors, while theirs are going into transportation".......well, i believe him....

"There is no substitute"... that quote from Risky Business has been in my head for over 30 years! LOL

Can't wait to see the mods you have planned for the car!

Could you post pics of examples of what's to come?
