Back in a GT car.
Just wanted to Introduce myself. I recently bought Haku's Lava Orange RS from Porsche of Chattanooga. Its been a few years since I owned a Porsche. I had a 2007 Cobalt Blue GT3 that I traded in on a new 2012 McLaren 12C. That car turned out to be a complete lemon. It had a faulty fuel pump on delivery. It had multiple other issues including a Cracked head that required engine out service. It was obvious to me that McLaren wasn't quite ready to build production cars. The dealer took it back as a trade towards a 2013 Spider. The 2013 was much better than the 2012 but my previous experience had soured my ownership experience. I planned on trading it when I found the right car or when the warranty expired.
I had the pleasure of driving a GT3 and a RS and decided that I needed to be back in the Porsche world. I have been patiently waiting for RS prices to be more reasonable and felt that now was the time to jump in. There are 70+ cars on sale on Cars.com. I was able to get a fair deal on the CPO'ed RS and finalized the deal last week.
The car finally arrived Saturday. My initial thoughts are: Holy Crap - this thing is AMAZING. It is a significant improvement over the 997.1. The steering feel, the DCT the way it changes directions and rotates is just amazing. Add to that the piece of mind that its a Porsche and has bullet proof reliability is nice. Anyways I will stop rambling and post some pics.

I don’t think haku ever went fast enough for any bugs to even die upon impact, so you’re basically getting a new car, 
Kidding aside, Congrats on the new purchase, that lava red RS was the prettiest of the bunch at Smokies...

Congratulations Ritesh!!!
I'm thrilled the car has found an owner that I know will appreciate it. Bring it to the Smokies Spring event where I can once again drool over it.
Enjoy it!
