You better watch out. Uncle Sam is on his way to whittling away the Social Security payments of people who drive cars like this! Congratulations though. Love the color.

Enjoy it. I've been buying Uncle Sam one every year for the past 30+ years.

Congrats! A lovely 911 and certainly a colour I seriously considered (top 3, went w/ Lava).
I too plan to buy myself a retirement 911 but in good time.

And as a poster intimated above: you already earned it!

I Must say. WOW. That is one nice car. SS, Does this mean I am paying for your car? So that is Miami Blue? What's your build sheet? If you don't mind sharing?

I'll have to add that to the list of colors to consider next!

Social security is not an entitlement. You paid for it already. Enjoy guilt free.

Isn't not like you used a welfare check to pay for it.

Yeah I feel the same way.

Great color, congrats.

So strange you have to pay to put a Porsche emblem on your wheel cap. You need to align the wheel cap bottom of the emblem to the valve stem!! Although looks like it is already done.
