I've been long considering buying a Porsche (having come from a lineage of BMW's), and finally pulled the trigger this weekend!
I purchased a CPO 2012 Carrera S 7spd manual from Porsche of Bellevue (WA) with only 24k miles. I'm giving her the name Charis, which means "grace as a gift" in Greek.
My dealership experience was great; my sales person Greg D. was a true Porsche-phile (who owns a 991 GT3 himself) and was awesome to work with.
I had a fantastic time driving it home to Southern, CA! Greg suggested I take the long route through Oregon and experience the driving along the coastal Hwy 101. It was beautiful, and really brought best out of the car!
Here are a few pics of my new car at the dealership, and a few shots of my car on the ride home! Awesome experience.
Thanks everyone! I'd been researching and getting to know the car/brand on Rennlist for over year before finally pulling the trigger, and I'm glad I did!

I did the Seattle>SF drive about 3 months ago when I made the move down here.
I did it in my M3, great scenery through the Oregon coast even though the weather was terrible. Did you get off the freeway and do the Avenue of Giants? It's a bit longer but man what an amazing, winding run through the redwoods.
Love to do it again in the sunshine now that I have a 911.

Sounds awesome. Unfortunately, I didn't know about the Avenue of Giants, so I'll have to keep that in mind if I'm ever in Oregon with my car again! My next road trip in the 911 will definitely be the CA coastline.
Nice car! The picture at the dealer looked very familiar. Then I saw you bought it at Porsche Bellevue where I picked up my C2s last Thursday. My car was parked in the exact spot yours is in the picture! My wife and I are headed down the Pacific Coast later in June. Looking forward to it!

For reference, our last road trip we went up 1 from SF and then back down via Avenue of the Giants, and it was the better drive... less debris and less traffic than 1. Definitely the highlight of the trip.
