Congrats on the purchase! I recently bought my first Porsche too.

You may one day move on to another car, but it seems like something will always drag you back into a Porsche.

Congrats on the new purchase. Unfortunately, you are now a confirmed Porsche addict and driving will never be the same.

Congrats Jeff, you’ve picked one of the best driving cars in the world.

Driving on the coast is definitely awesome but wait until you get it out in the mountains of SoCal, that is where this car will really shine.

Enjoy in good health.

You car is perfection.

It will be even more perfect-er when you add the clear LED side markers from Suncoast.

Beauty car and welcome!

One of the determining factors for me in taking my first Porsche plunge (three cars and many miles ago) was the depth of community available, primarily here at Rennlist.

May that camaraderie prove to be as helpful and interesting for you as well.
