I've been lurking here since I bought a new to me 2016 991 Targa 4S about 3 weeks ago. Finally had took a day off to celebrate a milestone birthday and go for a proper drive. I have to admit, having a 911 in the garage is a surreal experience. I had posters of them on my walls growing up and never thought I'd get to live the dream. These machines are amazing, and every time I drive it I feel like a kid in a candy store!

Basic Specs:
  • PDK
  • Heated Steering Wheel
  • PDLS
  • Sport Chrono
  • Premium Package Plus
  • Burmester
  • Clear Taillights
Things I want to add:
  • PSE
  • Sport Design Steering Wheel
A couple of pics from today's adventure:

Out in western Massachusetts. The bridge of flowers is in Shelburne Falls. Some killer twisty roads out there and near the Quabbin Reservoir. First time out that way, used a motorcycle website that lists great roads. It’s been on my hit list for a while. I find I need to get about an hour or two out of Boston to find some really great roads.

Congratulations! What a beauty!!!
It makes me so happy when I read sincere, appreciative posts (because I can relate).
Some may say we are lucky, or fortunate. "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."
Kudos.

Beautiful Targa ! Congratulations ........I thought that I recognized the scenery. I am from Cape Cod (Truro) Mass. but have lived in Oregon since 1989. I used to enjoy cruising the back roads of New England in my older 911's back in the day :-))
