Default Hello and new to Porsche & This Forum



I am a new proud owner of a 2019 Carrera S. Recently retired and enjoying. The sophistication of this automobile is outstanding. Now I need to really learn how to drive it.

Welcome! To learn how to drive your new Porsche...

Step 1. Log off Rennlist
Step 2. Get driving!😛



Just kidding. Welcome to the community and beautiful car! I’m not sure we can help with the driving part, but the forum is a great resource for any questions you might have about the car.

I aspire to retire in a location where I don't have to shovel snow. Soon! Really soon!

Hey, I have the same Subaru but you probably didn't need to order the optional Hakkapeliitta snow tires with 1/4" ice studs.

Enjoy your beautiful new car in good health! If you can sign up for a Porsche "driver education" track day, it will be the best investment you could make learning the 991.2 characteristics. It is an educational experience, not a race, so you do not need track insurance (check the fine print first). I can't recommend it enough! Happy retirement my friend.

Welcome and welcome to retirement! Also retired and have banded together with a half dozen retired fellow Porsche fanatics I met through the local PCA. We take a weekly drive plus lunch, it’s been a great way to further enjoy the cars. I recommend it!

Congrats on the new ride!
I am retired as well, and Carrera T, Miata PRHT, and BMW R1250R are in the toy chest!
Enjoy # 1, it is probably not going to be your last.
