Default New owner, officially

Just took delivery about an hr ago (yes, just after midnight) from my guy that brought it to me from Memphis. 2012 Carrera S in aqua blue metallic, just under 40k on the clock, 1 owner and CPO for the next 2 yrs. All the options that I cared about save SPASM which I can live without. Moving to this car from an Aston V8 Vantage and a 996, have previously owned a 987.1 as well. Pretty excited, although I about shat myself when I heard the skipping of the tires when low speed turning being it's a very cold night in the metro Atl area tonight. All else seems well aside from a large rock hit at eye level the dealer conveniently didn't tell me about. Excited to get behind the wheel and get some driving in soon.

Congrats and I agree we need more pics in the daylight. Haven’t seen many aqua blue metallic 991s.

Very nice, congrats! I expect to see you at some Peachstate PCA events in the future. Also, join the Atlanta Porsche Sports Car Drivers group on FB for rides and get-togethers.

Excellent snag! It's interesting to note of your brief visit to the world of the AM Vantage. I too looked at one of those and was very close to pulling the trigger UNTIL I drove an 06 C2S and I was sold. I've been in a Porsche ever since. Welcome back and beautiful car!
