Default My first Porsche!!

Well, it's been 30 years in the making, but I finally bought my first Porsche today. 2017 Base 911 Carrera in jet black metallic, manual. I needed the Premium Plus and the Bose, which I got. I didn't need sport exhaust and sport chrono, but I got those too. Anyway, I hope I learn to appreciate those options. Picking up (hopefully) Friday!! I've wanted one of these since I was 13. So excited!!

Boom!!

Awesome spec and best of luck. Let us know if you make use of the sport exhaust (I have a feeling that you might like it after all).

Brother I sooooo know how you feel. I wanted one since I was 6 and got it last month. I guarantee you it was worth every minute of the wait. It has superseded my expectations. I look forward to driving it everyday. Enjoy in good health. Congrats!

Pics, upon delivery, or it didn't happen!
Congratulations on fulfilling a life long dream!

I wasn't a Porsche fan until the wife got me to test drive one and the rest is history...

We should make a forum rule that congratulations are only allowed if pictures are posted! It's crazy. We all know what the cars look like, but we all love to look at pictures

Isn't that the truth! I can't explain it either.

Same here. A physician in my home town brought home a new green 1970 911E Targa. I was 16. I vowed that day I would own a new Porsche. Congratulations.
