Default Black Beauty Comes Home

Just picked up my new baby today after about a three-month wait.

991S Black/Black full leather, MT, S wheels, sport steering wheel, PSE, Bose…

What a machine. Put a quick 90 miles on her. The engine and pipe sound is amazing. Deep on the up revs with a few gurgles and pops going down. A firm and wide stance. MT is smooth and well positioned. And the power? Great now. Can’t wait for the end of the break-in period.

Here are some amateur pics. One of them shows it in the garage bay previously occupied by my 997. It is bigger. Hope the door doesn’t hurt her.

Special note: Just kidding on the last point. Couldn’t resist reflecting on the marathon thread a month or so ago.

Cheers,
Jim

It does look bigger in Black now that you mention it. But way way classy too! Congrads.

Marathon thread?
Anyway, bet you can't wait to finish the remodel. Taking out that wall so the whole car will fit in the garage is a small price to pay for such a big car.

Yep. I even had the mirror posts and front and rear ground aprons painted. Just need to replace the side markers to get rid of the yellow/orange to make it even cleaner.

I am also thinking of getting black. Good call on the sidemarkers too. It's great how changing something so simple gives it a much cleaner look. Congrats.
