Congratulations on getting it early. Kind of nice having to wait and reminding us that we all still have a little bit of kid left in us.

I really have grown to love rhodium. First time I saw it I thought it had to much of a light blue hue but the color changes constantly with different lighting - pretty cool

Congratulations indeed!

I remember my first Porsche, 15 years ago. I had to pinch myself. "That was it! I had finally reached my goal!!!!"

Of course, I soon discovered that goal posts are mobile...

Well done! Enjoy, until the post moves again that is....

I wish!

Was nervous as we hit little snow shower on the way to get the car and there was some snow at the dealership. Road we wet a portion of the way home and then dried up. Not to bad and the car handled it much, much better than I thought it would. EDIT: As you can see the car can drive upside down in the snow too! (not sure why the pics are oriented this way they were fine on the computer.)

Got dirty though. So took her for her first spray down to get most of the road grime off.

This car is a beast. Can't wait for break in to be over and the weather to be warm!

Firstly, a ginormous congratulations!

That's a fair bit of snow! I'm glad you got it home safe and well... upside down or any which way!

Pics when you can. Enjoy!
