Default First Porsche is finally home

All wrapped up with full body XPEL, ceramic coating, tinting and interior protection...

Not only my first Porsche, but my first brand new car ever (at age 52). Have always bought a couple years old (though my wife has squeezed me for several very nice brand new cars for her over the years).

Anyway, been lurking on this list for a couple of years trying to learn, and you all have been very generous with your time and patience for the newbs like me. Always appreciated, but today especially so...

Congrats, good first new car choice, I have been lucky enopugh to be riding in Porsche's since 1964, my dad had them almost since I was born, I have number 5,6 and 7 Porsche's in my garage, just a warning, they are like potato chips, can't have just one.

Congratulations. I bought my first Porsche at 18. Got a loan from Chase and bought a 1981 930 Turbo. Still remember the day I picked it up. Destroyed the clutch the first week. Fast forward, I now have 4 Slantnose Turbos and a Carrera GT in my garage and still looking for more. Worst than any drug but as a wise man once said, 40 wheels are cheaper than 4 legs.

Wow, your spec is almost identical to mine being built next month, down to the clock and chrono rings, looks great! This will be my first Porsche as well.

Yeah, it is. And I KNEW you guys would call me out, and I KNEW it would likely be YOU Pad Bender!

Was a bit hectic there cuz my son is obsessed with cars and Auto Armour had a TON of awesome stuff there they were working on. Several SVJs, 720S, super nice Weissach GT2 RS, a few different Ferrari's. Kinda felt like the kid from the wrong side of the tracks there (which is actually a big part of the appeal of the TTS for me personally). But, it was tough just keeping my wife and kids out of the shots -- I lost track of what it was I was shooting...

Thanks very much. That's the two-tone "Slate Gray/Chalk" interior.
