Delivery Day!!

I just got my 2001 Carrera delivered this morning! Since this was the first time I saw it in person, started it, touched it and drove it, I am more than happy with the car. In fact, it's better than I had anticipated and it's far more beautiful in person than the photos. I'm keeping somewhat of a blog / maintenance / experience log/blog of this car… and really, anything to do with Porsche.

Just a few seconds after accepting delivery:

Thanks everyone for the compliments, I absolutely love the car! I was having doubts about selling my Boxster (986)… but after driving the 911 for just a few hours, I don't know if I'll ever drive the Boxster again. I suppose I'll be posting it for sale soon.
