Did you order the optional "Herbie" package complete with a "53" on the door? 
I do like the 991, the new headlights (seen below) are much improved over the 996:

Well, no pics yet, I've been too busy driving and trying to understand the owners manual. The options and flexibility of all the settings is mind boggling. The specs; It's a white over black Carrera S (400 HP), PDK with all the suspension upgrades, PASM, PASM+, PDCC, Sport design steering wheel with the paddles, and Sport Chrono, which gets you the electronic motor mounts among other things. Sunroof, and 14 way seats with both heat and ventilation, Burmester Stereo and 20 inch Carrera Classic wheels.
My GTS is/was fast, but this thing is a freaking rocket. I've only got on it once on an on-ramp and it literally scared me. Those of you that know me well and my driving style will know it's something special when I say it scared me. The PDK is the best transmission I've ever experienced, bar none.

Congrats Jim, looking forward to seeing it in person. Sounds like you have dang near every option available.

Finally got a chance to take a few pictures. I'm still reading the owners manual and learning how to set up a few things. Almost everything is adjustable; all lighting, tire pressure for light loads (comfort) vs full load or sport driving, etc

Very nice Jim.... Love the new 991 styling...and after driving Chris F's new 2014 Cayman S...I've suddenly got the bug for another Porsche....(something along the lines of the 2010 Sport Classic)...but sadly that one is only Euro..
congrats...

Shes a beauty Jim. I think she wants to take a roadtrip to Sharks and one 991 to St. Charles. You and Roger and anyone should come down. We'd love to have you attend.

Wow Jim that is a sweet car. I guess that begs the question, which one is coming to Third Coast????
My bet is I won't be pulling away in the straights this year!!!

Congrats on your beautiful new ride! The new 911 is truly a sweet looking car, the best they have designed and I am sure well made to give many years of enjoyment.
But let's not get carried away, Porsche claims 0-60 in 4.3 and some reviews get 3.9. That is very respectable but shouldn't scare anyone. I am on a quicker vehicle everyday and find it mundane. Murf's wife's car was posting 3.8 many years ago, so relax, and enjoy.
