Hey everyone just wanted to say hello and introduce myself and my new car! I posted a few times in the deals thread (thanks STG!) when I was in the process of buying the car but can now say that I purchased a brand new 2014 911S (with ~90 miles on the clock) and I cannot be more thrilled. I am coming from a C63 AMG that I loved but this is just a completely different league and I grow to the love it with every passing day as I learn more and more about the qualities that make a Porsche a Porsche.

I hope to post and lurk here more often and learn as much as I can about this amazing car.

welcome!!! I made the same move last weekend - traded a 2012 C63 coupe with P31 and every possible option for a 2012 C2S. It's a whole different kind of beast and I miss the wail and absolute power of a C63, but the 911 is a true sports car from the ground up. Very happy about the move.

Enjoy your new car in good health and post more pics!

Good luck with your car. There is nothing like your first 911, it is better than your first car!

Congrats on the new ride! Coming from the Merc world too, I can safely say this car is the real deal when it comes to a true sports car!

Enjoy! Beautiful color too...you obviously have very good taste!

Wow, nice find! Didn't even know there were left-over 14's. Congrats, especially with the Turbo wheels - Love the black roof w/ white, possibly one of the best looks out there.

Congratulations! Sharp looking car! I just picked up first 911 (13 991 C2S) just over a week ago and I know exactly how you feel. I still can't believe it's mine!

Enjoy it!!
