Look what came in the mail today...
4 months of searching and a week on the truck from NC to CA and I finally have one in my driveway! Will get some proper pics posted this weekend if the weather holds. Shout out to RL member Mdsarch for going out of his way to look at the car for me. We did a FaceTime during the walk around and test drive. That plus the PPI really made it a lot easier buying a car site unseen.

Finally!! Congrats on the purchase, and eagerly awaiting your first impressions and review.
Also bummed about the LA weather this weekend - i'll be driving my P car to Auto Club Speedway.

I've run Auto Club Speedway in the rain - had a blast. It's pretty grippy!! I was on Nitto NT01's, and it's really surprising how fast you can go there in the wet. You'll have a great time! (Just run high on the oval if it's very wet - each lane up has more grip than the ones below. I walked the track - quite noticeable!)

Hey Bash,
Is that the infamous "Taco Wing" or is it the higher-end "Flying Burrito"? ha!

Thanks B3. Switched out the MAF last night (seller and PPI were upfront it should be done). Car is pristine. In 2013 it had new LN IMSB, RMS, AOS, Waterpump, Low Temp Stat, Clutch, Flywheel, 997 shifter, plus a ton of ancillary stuff done.
I plan on a nice get to know her drive this weekend!
