Default Birth Announcement: The Coochas Cayenne is born

I am proud to announce the addition of a second p-car to our household – a 2006 Cayenne S Titanium Edition! The new car is a birthday gift for my wife Irene, but I’m hoping that she’ll let me drive it occasionally. She has definitely been bitten by the Porsche bug,… which is a good thing.

I bought the car from Alfie (Ira Porsche) who also sold me my C4S. The end of model series deals on the Cayennes are really great and Alfie made it a pleasure to purchase. We will hopefully pick the car up this weekend or early next week.

Our new Cayenne is Pure Red with the Titanium edition Black/Steel Grey interior. Along with all of the goodies that come with the Titanium edition, the car has the panoramic roof option (really really cool), seat memory, heated front seats & steering wheel, ski bag, light comfort package, and 4-zone A/C (I have no idea what to do with this!).

For those who are not familiar with it, the Titanium Edition basically has: multiple exterior parts in “Titanium look”, wheels painted “Titanium,” bits of the air intakes, door handles, mirrors painted in Titanium, BiXenons, sport tail pipes and NAV.

I’ve got an order in to Tire Rack to send me some 18” winter wheels with Pirelli Scorpions (Titanium Edition comes with Summer compound on 19” wheels) and we’re planning on heading to VT in early February to properly christen our Peppa. Irene and I are soooooo excited.

And now for some pics!!! – Note the “SOLD” sign hanging from the mirror – Yeah Baby!

Ask your dealer to include a bail bondsman's card in the warranty book... Or get a K40

Very nice choice. The color combo is a stunner. There are a lot of Cayennes on the Freeways out here, but Red is rare. The Titanium Pkg is cool...love the wheels, too.
Color me jealous. Congrats to your lucky family!
We pretend our A3 is a baby Cayenne. (This fool's no one, by the way.)

Wow Dave, congratulations man! Looks beautiful!

I'm sure Irene will just love it. Are you going to put a giant bow on top it?

I like the fact that Cayenne's have their own set of colors separate from 911s, Boxsters & Caymans.

No bow: Irene picked the car from the colors that were available on the lot (Pure Red, Black, Iceland Silver, Marine Blue). She liked the Red best which is my favorite color of that bunch.

Thanks Ben and thanks EVERYONE for the well wishes. I am just sold for life on this brand!

Dave, congratulations. My wife and I also have an appointment with my sales rep who sold me my 997 S Cab this Saturday to look at the new Cayennes. Love the Guards red color, the new babe looks hot.
