Default Finally -- it's Here!

Fellow Rennlist Members,

With great excitement, I would like to share my newest best friend -- A new 07 C4S CAB. It has been on order since October and is now sitting at the dealer's waiting for a truck to take it over the snowy Cascade Mountains of Washington State to it's new home. May take a couple of weeks and I couldn't wait so I drove over to the Seattle area to visit it ( I live in Eastern Washington ~ 250 Miles Away).

I have refrenced an address for some early pictures that I took at photobucket.com --- not sure that I have it working -- so good luck trying to see them. I have also attached options list --- kind of embarrased that it is so long, but I ordered what I wanted -- sooooooo potential flamers -- your comments won't bother me. By listing the options, I hope that those of you that may have questions or want to see pictures of particular items; then I will try to accomodate you ASAP. I know it has been a help to me to see pictures of other cars and posts on options, colors, etc. I have read lots of posts on Rennlist and have enjoyed them all.

Also, I would like to say that you can not compare the 993 to the 997 --- two completely different rides --- and I love them both. Life is good.

It is nice to share my excitement with other Porsche folks. Best to all.

Congrats, that's the most impressive options list I've ever seen. They must've added an extra sticker under the bootlid ! And factory 19" rims as well.

What a stunning color combination. And I love the leather stitching detail. Very tasteful. How did you resist jumping in it and driving it home!
Good luck with her

Gorgeous. That leather on the dash, the doors, seats... everywhere, I can almost smell it! I would have HAD to drive that home and tell he dealer to deliver my other car, ESPECIALLY with the weather we had yesterday!!

Yea, I'd drive 250 miles to see my newest pal too . Looks great - I've driven the ( awesome) 997TT, but would really like to try the newest C4S. You are certain to enjoy every moment.
