Just wow...lots of talent to compete with in the showroom too. GT3, GT3 touring, GT2RS, Carrera GT, Slant nose 964 turbo imported from Japan, Sport Classics, 918 . 32.8 miles on the odometer. A dealer the knows to clock the crest on the wheels to the valve stem!
I plotted a route home through the mountains that was about 100 miles without highways. I barely missed some nasty weather. The car asked me to adjust my driving style and switch to rain mode. Lots of gravel/rocks washed into the road from heavy rains. But I mostly avoided it - just wet roads. Didn't need to use wipers.
My brother went with me in his backdated '84. So we had a fun spirited drive.
I stopped to take a few pics but I'm safely home (for now - time to head to the shop to install side skirts and corner markers).
Looks like a great pickup day - that dealer has an incredible array of Porsche royalty in the showroom! Also looks like it was a nice drive home, but is that snow on the road (in June)?!
My order is about to freeze in about a week . This is my build please share some thoughts I have changed a dozen times.

can’t wait for the car, I’m trying to keep it simple.
thanks for your help.
Looks like a good build but I'd ditch the fire extinguisher and get this instead as it's a lot smaller and your passenger won't be complaining about it hitting the back of their thighs. https://elementfire.com. How about the SD Front Fascia? Makes the car look a lot better IMO.
Did I read that right? You’re 21? If correct, that’s amazing….911 at that age?! Congrats! Have u ever been to Manhattan? We’ve got some of the best Italian restaurants. Let me know if you’re ever here. I’ll treat u to that and some RED wine. Ha, in grad school, I even took a wine tasting course…just drank a lot of wine and got an A in it
in my wine cooler now…
Woah look at that a 2002! Its as old as me hahaha, and shoot my brother and parents were just in new york 2 months ago, but If I ever make it out I would love to relax have some dinner, and talk about cars and life. I am sure it would be my pleasure to hang out with you one day. That was better than the one I had I had a 2010 bottle, how cool!

I would recommend cooled seats for that full leather look and the front lift other than that I think its a wonderful spec

Can't have cooled seats and Race-Tex as his order reflects. Why FAL? I don't have it, have driven 33 miles short of 5000 since 4/26/23 and haven't come close to scraping.

I would recommend it just because again where I live there are places I scrape a tiny bit in a jetta, the back end or very front, even at an angle, and going slow. I will definitely use it all the time, here, but I guess I should have asked where this person lives, it they do not have any hilariously tall entries and exits to businesses, homes, restaurants in their daily route then its not an issue, I also will use it because of bad pot holes and rough roads in Santa Fe and other parts of NM
I got my car! I feel like owe future owners a review between my 23 T Manual and my 21 S PDK but all I can say for now is I sat in 10 miles of Chicago traffic so not much to report other than I love the car. It's a long weekend so we'll roadtrip to do the break-in and I'll try to be more thoughtful when we're back. I'll be doing some mods but likely a little different this time around. GT3 side skirts, exhaust valve controller, and then I'm going to install the new roof basket from Porsche along with their silly accessories (gas can, water can, shovel).
Oh and I definitely need a recommendation on which wheel spacer is the best, I'm selling my HREs.
My take on P car ownership: I'll keep the T for a daily driver at least 5 years and I'm currently looking for a track prepped used Cayman for HPDE events. For under $60K I have found a lot of great cars to go beat on the track instead of my DD.

Just catching the tail end of a big storm and that’s HAIL.

I came real close scraping today on a steep parking lot entrance…maybe just kissed it a little. But that unpainted front piece is easily replaceable. Not going to sweat it and can live without another gadget on the car.
