Hi everyone. I'm a long time Porsche fan and I'm finally a Porsche owner. I want to thank you all as this forum has been a big part of my research in the many months of reading and watching videos to find what 911 I knew was right for me. After I decided it was going to be a 991.1 Carrera S black coupe with PDK, Sports Chrono and Sports Exhaust it took a little more than 6 months to find my car. It's a '14 that had a tad over 16k on the odometer and was in outstanding condition. I traded my '13 Boss 302 that I purchased new and as good a car as it was I have not regretted trading it at all. Thanks again to everyone and I'm happy to be part of this community to continue to learn.
Please recognize you are a lifetime addict. I bought my first Porsche in 1974 as a 2l 914. I was 40 years old. I bought my first 911 in 1987 and another in 1989, a Targa. I have owned six. Though I owned a few for many years I only parted company from each because I wanted a newer Porsche on each occasion. Consequently, I have never ridded myself of a Porsche due to defects; only because I lusted for another. I now have a 2015 Porsche 991.1 GTS that I tell my wife is my last. I cannot keep multiple Porsches. It is impractical! My wife believes I will get another despite the fact I am 73 yoa.
Please instruct your wife or significant other that you are hooked. My wife only approves of my being hooked. She is a keeper! I love her for indulging my irrational eccentricity among other things. She gets compensated likewise. To my knowledge, she has no complaints.
Yes freeman I admit I am an addict! Lol! I am also 40 at the time of my first Porsche purchase and luckily I have a keeper too as my wife although not crazy about It knows I'm a car guy (Porsche guy now) so she knew what she was getting into. I see many more Porsche's in my future! Thanks!
Thanks Eddie and fasttr! I love that Targa fasttr! I know I'll never forget my first but I can see a 991.2 GTS Targa in Miami Blue a few years in the future!

Best of luck with your gorgeous 991.
Nah. You've got 2 more left in you. My dad is 83 and still drives a manual. 992 looks pretty sweet!
If I owned a 991 carrera it would also be a black S, and with those same wheels. Good job!
Thanks. I wasn't crazy about the wheels and figured they would be one thing I'd change but then I seen them in person for the first time and I knew they weren't going anywhere. I love 'em!
