I had a 2006 C4S Cab with x51, GT Silver and Terracota Natural leather. Loved that car and had no intention of trading it. So I decided to get a daily driver that would work better in winter/snow traffic on I95 tham my 911 Cab. Decided to with a Macan Turbo. Ordered it back in April, when there were still long lines and no additional allocations to the US had been made. Got an allocation for delivery in July...

In the meantime it downed on me that at some point I would want to upddate my 997 and the more I heard about the turbos becoming the standard I convinced myself that I was only advancing what I would do anyway in a couple of years and tried to get a GTS allocation. Asked my dealership, and it wasn't moving too quickly, got lots of excuses why it wasn't happening and that it would happen soon. After two months, decided to change course and contacted another dealership, who had handled my first Porsche. In two days, they got me an allocation and I placed an order. Estimated delivery was August 28.

Finally last week on Monday, went to pick up my Macan and I'm really enjoying it. Three days later I get a phone call that my GTS had arrived. Went to pick it up on Friday of last week.

Here are some pics of my new toys. Now it is time to enjoy them.

Larry, thanks it also helps that my birthday was on Thursday of the same week!! Great week!

The hard part was waiting a few days to get the wheels painted and CQuartz finest applied to the Macan and for the GTS a clear bra with X-Pel Ultimate, clear side markers and mesh screen to protect the radiators. But it is all done and I can enjoy the cars.

That is great. Scheduled on the 28th but got it 2 weeks ahead. That is really great.

It actually came 3 weeks earlier. Took the car to get clear bra installed and mesh to protect the radiators. Used Detailing Dynamics in Long Island. They are great. I did my 997 there and the clear bra was still in perfect shape. This installation was so good I couldn't even see where the lines ended. Truly outstanding.
