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.

How did you get it used from the first owner and have it CPO'd?

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!
