Default JB’s Introduction

Greetings!!!
I wanted to take a moment and introduce myself to your forum... About 4 years ago, I purchased my first P-Car a 09 997.1 TT 6 Speed Manual, followed by a 12 997.2 TTS w/PDK...I was bit and bit hard and now understand why people love their Porsches.
I recently sold the TTS and began my quest for a 16 GT3RS. I’d narrowed my search to a beautiful white, well spec’ed version when last Saturday morning a PTS Black RS was offered on eBay by Jakes Motorcars in San Diego... I immediately fell in love.
After having a PPI completed, I flew out from NC this past Friday, took it to the San Diego Porsche Dealership, had a DME Report generated, did my own inspection and then pulled the trigger.
I could not be more stoked over this beast!!! Rick at Jakes Motorcars took excellent care of me and ran me around most of Friday. Now, the wait for it to be shipped begins.... should be in NC the week of the 30th.
I’ve already began reading a large number of the forum’s posts and look forward to being a part of your membership.
Wishing You Good Health and Cheers!
”JB”

Congrats on the beast. Just amazing!!! I'm on the hunt myself for the same except for a PTS that has caught my eye. Taking a bit to secure due to work commitments but I'll land one soon!

All the best and enjoy for a long time in good health.

John your car looks absolutely stunning! Have seen quite a few RS in UV/white, but black is one rare bird! Congrats and enjoy in good health.

Congrats JB! I hope to join you soon via Joel’s RS. I get out to Durham to visit my son often. Are you planning a VIR trackday?

Thank you all for your warm welcoming and well wishes. To say I’m excited to get my RS out on the NC Roads is an understatement!!!
While VIR is a possibility; right now I’ve got some NC mountain roads in mind...and learning even more about this Beast.
Again, thank you!!!
