Torque Chap,


it is still the same car, but it has been a year.


The exterior is Paint to Sample and is called "Grigio Granito Metallic".


The interior color is natural leather in "Garnet Red".



Thank you again for the kind words.

RS911, that's an insanely beautiful color combo. Google's showing me that it was originally a Maserati color. Way cool.

My pleasure, Parabola19. Great photo. We've got to get together one of these days.

In case you missed it, there is a good car-seat thread for when you need to upgrade:

i fear this one is out of my philosophical and intellectual pay-grade.
I think it's a balance between humility and enjoying life. I've had these same discussions, some of the things kids get confused by is the "worship" of material items. It's one thing to enjoy nice things and another to put those things before anything else.

Wait til he gets older. The father of my 15 year old daughter's boyfriend doesn't like her because I drive a Porsche! How ridiculous is that one?

Also, try driving your Porsche to the fire station to work! Nobody notices I don't have the fancy pickup, motorcycle, boat and rv!

Anyway... par for the course it seems

Very well said. That is the approach I take with my kids.

You'll all think I'm crazy but I don't like to post pictures of my kids on the internet (not that I say its wrong for others to do so).

Having said that, this is the picture that proved to my wife (who wouldn't set foot in the Porsche dealership) that our son - age 6 last summer, would fit easily into back of a 911. Note that he is is just tall enough for his knees to make the bend at the end of the seat allowing his feet to hang 90 degrees to touch the floor. Lots of headroom too. And the bonus is, I don't really have to move my seat forward much to accommodate his as I'm 5'8". My daughter is almost 10 and is a few inches taller than my son. She will sit in the rear passenger position.

It seems my kids are at a perfect age (and size) for a 911. It almost looks roomy back there.

Happy Days!
