Another new guy.... pics of the ride!
Hi all... just picked it up last Friday from the shipping docks.
I flew up to Phoenix to purchase the car and drove from there to Long Beach to ship it at the end of January. Drove Highway 74 between Palm Springs and San Juan Capistrano to reach Long Beach from the PCH. Beautiful drive with my fiancee. First time doing something like this for the both of us and we enjoyed it tremendously.
Took two long agonizing weeks for it to land on Kauai, but it finally made it and had some time to snap some pics at work this week.
Thanks to all who have put up with the numerous questions. first time Porsche owner here and loving every minute of it.

Mahalo Kelly,
Great looking car! The center dashboard looks great too! Enjoy, and don't do too many laps around the island.

ksjcorpus- it was $991 from Long Beach to the outer island port of Nawiliwili on Kauai. I think it's about 40-50 less to Oahu, the main island. I did pick up about 4 or 5 dings and dents during shipping that I am having them pay for. I have a great PDR man on Kauai and am positive he can get the car looking like new again.
yeah, I wasn't to thrilled about the console at first, but have decided I like it. I have no need for the car phone, so I'll be taking that out along with whatever is behind the console plate and possibly squeeze a sub amp back there somehow.

Great looking car, and I too like the interior. Let use know what your best lap time around the island is..lol. Should be fun on that little road that goes to the top of the mountain.

Great looking car. Some owners have used the phone console to mount a display screeen for a built in GPS nav system, although that may not be of much use for you. Enjoy.

Very nice car Kelly.. Looks like you found a nice one.
I had the same console in my Turbo when I got it. The phone is analog, so you could not use it if you wanted to anymore. I had the same console in my Turbo. I elected to remove it beacuse I thought it was too big.
Have fun with the new toy....
