Default New Porsche Owner

Thanks to everyone that guided me on the good and bad. I pulled the trigger on a 14 991 S. Loaded. From a forum member who happened to be a great guy. Finally got the slight mods done. Blk wheels emblems and tailpipes. Tint, HR springs and BMS filters. That's it. I'm done. Now back to working a little harder. Love the car. Paranoid driving around these S Florida people. Or even parking. My American car buddies bust my chops how I could have bought a Z06 for less. Drives me crazy. Before and after pics.

I give you credit for buying a great car, at a great price, and doing a few great mods to it. Looks much more sporty! Nice work.

The snickering envious Vette friends? Hilarious. Ummm.. Make a few new Porsche friends. There's plenty down your way.

Beautiful 991S! I had a Guards Red 997 w black Lobster wheels once. Loved that car, always turned back to look at it after parking! Enjoy and just drive it!

Thanks brother. It will be interesting to see the vette's depreciation numbers over a 5 year period. Then I will truly laugh. I'm getting my Detailer to do a Quartz coating this week and treat the leather. There's a lot of leather. I'm considering having the interior windshield tinted with a new clear tint called "spectra photosync". This will protect the dash and reduce the heat. The reviews say it's better then ceramic tint.

You own a 911. Your chops are unbustable. Sorry for your buddies but that's just the way it is.

Welcome to the red/beige brotherhood! My red/beige 997.2S was traded in by a guy who bought a Corvette. Dealer said he regretted it. Beautiful car....T
