Tuesday won't be gloomy for you...rain or shine.
Hopefully the sun will be shining and the roads dry.
When I picked up my car from Pfaff last year around this time, it was raining as well.
But the drive was still awesome.
Enjoy the new ride.
Cheers.

Congrats Moab, that's a great choice for our climate. I also recall your old signature, did you go manual this time?

Enjoy. I traded my 997.2 for the 991 as well(both PDK). I traded in a great car for an even greater car. No regrets.

It did. I will miss that beautiful exhaust note, but my neighbours will be happy.

Picked up the GTS earlier today. Sad to see the 997 go but I really love the look of the new car. The sport exhaust is amazing. I'm used to a pretty aggressive sounding exhaust note from the akrapovic but I think I may like the sport exhaust more?!?

Jimmy at Pfaff was nice enough to suggest hat he didn't have to put on the front license plate bracket and I agreed, so I will risk it for now. Just didn't want to see the clean look of the front end of the car ruined with the license plate. I am also happy that all the "busy" lettering is in black which also gives the car a really clean look.

Here are a couple of pics. More detailed review to follow when I have time tomorrow to take it out on the highway. Thanks for all the kind messages.
