Default Finally Pulled the Trigger

Long story to get to this point - 3 years total time in the overall decision making process. First Porsche and couldn't be happier, this car is amazing. I've always been a car guy starting from a WRB STi (Which I later raced competitively in RallyAmerica and USRC as well as local Hill Climbing events) to an E90 (M3 Sedan) then marriage, then baby (goodbye M3) and ... another baby. Which parked me with my current mode of transportation an A7 (Love this car as a commuter).

After testing pretty much anything that popped into my mind of "wanting", M4, R8, GTR and a C2S. I landed with a 2014 Rhodium Silver C2S with the pasted options below.

My C2S was a lot car at, what I believe, a very fair discount. I was on the fence about the color but after spending the last 4 days with the car it has really grown on me. Hints of blue to pure silver given the light, give this color a nice range. What is not often mentioned is the flake the paint has under hard sunlight. I did not have a lot of "must needs" other than SportExhaust, PDK and PASM. All the other stuff was just fluff for me. The Sport Techno wheels have really grown on me and who doesn't like a 305 rear tire? I have managed to squeeze some car seats in the back for my 2.5 yr old and 1 yr old which really rounds out the use for the car.

So far I've only clocked a little over 200 miles and I'm anxiously waiting to really stretch her legs. The car has a really lovely feel to it along with all the right sounds from that SE ! I live in a small town and I am fairly young so I was really on the fence to pull the trigger. The last few brisk fall mornings up here in New England with the car has really pushed aside any of those feelings for sure.

The only picture I have for now is from the dealer lot. I hope to get some proper pics this weekend. Just your everyday 991

Congrats, car looks great! Your build is pretty close to my GTS build in terms of options aside from the seats/interior... looks like it has all of the right stuff and that color is great.

I love it! I love having the car at school drop off and pulling up along all the minivans and subarus and pulling two kids out of the back.

Thanks for the warm welcome - it's been a long process to get to this point. I was hoping to get some nice New England fall pics with the car but the weather hasn't cooperated very much. The leaves will pretty much be done for in the next week or two. I will say I haven't driven my A7 since I got the car last Friday, poor thing.

To hold everyone over for some Porsche shots, here's a gratuitous picture of my old steed. My first car to get me into cars. Bought her new off the dealer lot and then got bit by the bug.
