Default New to me 2014 4S on transport!!

Loaded today in route to Denver from Miami. Arrival pics hopefully Saturday. They say Friday del, but.....

2014 Carrera 4S
1,680miles
Two tone interior.

Mostly cosmetic options. Which appeal to me. Sports Chrono which I really wanted. No PSE, but shall be added after I fully "learn" the car. Goes in Monday for expel and Tint. Thursday to dealer for oil change and start that relationship. Prestige Motors.







Pre load walk around.






Pre load miles





The lorry













I cannot wait. Technically I "retire" Sunday. Always have wanted a '911'. More of a sedan, suv, wagon, BMW|Alpina guy my whole life. Now or never....

This board is great. Thank you STG (if you see this) for your posts. You are probably quite a few guys 991 Sage.

Congratulations on the car and retirement Art! Did you work in latex sales for all of your career?

I'd be pulling my hair out waiting for the car to arrive.
At least you'll have plenty of time with it in the next few weeks.

I remember my sales guy saying that they have people buy a car to hold them over until some allocation on the car they really want comes in and they ****** that up. I think I seen some do that going to a GT4 after driving their other car for about 700 miles, so it does happen and this is just one of the reasons .

yes, I've barely slept. The deal was DONE Friday! Takes a few days to get the shipper lined up and in place.




Map Empire, CO to Granby, CO to Loveland, CO

Doesn't that look tasty?

A LOT of this will be occurring. Sunrise Saturday or Sunday or Monday depending on delivery.


We have a hideout up in the mountains. Road bikes are part of the daily fitness regime (sport rack already ordered fr suncoast). There are a tonne of deserted alpine two lane county roads that I am familiar with. Like a kid before Christmas, I tell ya.

BTW Open invite any time someone on the board wants to pass through, bike, S K I , cars, WINE. Live Denver/summit cnty

Thanks for your kind congratulations respected board members.
