Default My new 911 S

I figured everyone else is posting pictures, so why not me? So far no complaints. It has Chrono Sport, Sport Exhaust, PDCC with PASM, PDK with the flappy paddles, so all the goodies. I figured I would get a red one because I am almost 40 and I can tell everyone I am having a mid-life crisis.

I traded my 2010 Panamera Turbo in for this, we had another child so only 2 back seats made the Panamera useless for 3 kids! Certainly a different driving experience between the 2, but one that I have enjoyed so far.

Red with black wheels is a great looking combo. I like your thinking on the mid-life crisis. Congratulations.

Interior is black to match the wheels. Certainly stands out with this color combination, get alot of lookers and random people coming over to see it.

When is mid-life crisis? Good question. I always thought it was around 40, but with the average age getting higher all the time maybe it is 50 now.

Yeah, I got a red one, good color for a sports car, but I don't have wheels painted in black so less funky looking than yours. Also no pdcc for me, how is it that working?

That looks hot. I too was contemplating a Yellow 991 with black rims, before settling on Agate Grey. Mid-life crisis, I know.

I wasn't sure about the wheels, but figured I would give it a try. I really like them, provides a nice contrast to the Guards Red. As for the PDCC its hard to tell, I have been working way too much and don't have many miles on it yet. Plus I am waiting to break the engine in alittle before I get on it too much.

Throw in some red seat belts, and that's my build choice right there.

Need more (and larger) pics.
