Default Finally got her home...

8 miles on the odo. The sport exhaust sounded great, but still won't stay on after restart. Fortunately, the auto stop feature does stay deactivated after restart. The keyless feature is not as cool as my Lexus because you still have to turn a dummy key instead of pressing a button. The Bose stereo sounds pretty good as well, but we had it off most of the time to listen to the exhaust. We parked at a store, and immediately a huge truck parked over into our lane and within striking distance. Luckily, I came out before the passenger got out so I took off before she had a chance to open her door to give us the first door ding. She made it home safely, but the weather is horrible for real pics. These are the only one we got with the Iphone.

Really nice. It seems every time I take delivery of a new car it is raining.

I'm a sucker for yellow sports cars. Racing Yellow looks great on the 991.

Congrats!

Congrats. Stunning color. The black details contrast very nicely against that vibrant yellow.

I know these are "just" the standard S wheels, but are by far the best ones IMO, including any aftermarket ones I have seen.

Thanks very much everyone! I can't wait for the break-in period to be over so I can try out the sport chrono...hopefully, it'll be just as good as everyone says it is.

I've been using sport chrono from day 1. No break in required with pdk at least. But beware sport + mode can get you in to real trouble with the law, it is a very aggressive mode (really for track use) in which you need to accelerate hard to at least 100mph to enjoy it. I've done 0-125mph a few times and wished I could just keep going.
Sport mode is just ok, it automatically turns on the PSE so it sounds more aggressive bit isn't really too much more so than regular mode.
I got the red instead of the yellow. Love both.
Have fun!
