I agree with Steve... A nice long roadtrip is a great way to enjoy your car.

I bought my car in Denver and drove it back here to SF. 3 days and over 1000 miles. It was great!

If you do plan on driving it back, I would recommend getting an alignment after the sucessful PPI. After all, you don't know the current state of the car and it's better to start out with a long trip with the car nicely aligned.

Good Luck!

Andy.

I agree on the drive home, a freind of mine and I had a great time driving up the coast. Highway 1 with a Porsche... does it get any better?

Car has 21k miles and has full leather cashmire interior with heated seats it also has B&B exhaust and has been lowered 1" and it has digital sound I'm trading my C4S so they are trailering the TT and picking up my car so I wont need to go to AZ to pick it up, has anyone heard or delt with Stuttgart Southwest in Scottsdale? the owner of the car suggested them for the PPI if I can't get Scottsdale Porsche to do the PPI on Mon.

Interesting, sounds just like a car I had inquired about in San Diego a couple of months ago. The car was white/cash with B&B with 21k miles.

Just curious, if you don't mind what was the amount difference between your c4s in trade and the tt.

Thanks I belong to PCA. The region that covers Santa Rosa and the north bay, I haven't done any events yet or gone on any drives but I plan to in the future. I took my C4S up to Mendicino a week and a half ago and there were about 5or6 Porsches staying at the Little River Inn from the Sacramento region, It was a very nice drive & getaway

Well the TT came in yesterday and it sure looks nice, boy these suckers are fast!!! the guy who brought it ownes an earlier turbo and has driven alot of them says this car must have a chip in it because it seems noticably faster than a stock TT I dont know as this is the first TT that Ive ever driven so I have nothing to compare it to, all I know is its alot faster than my 96 C4S its nice to have a car that will break them loose agin, I took my girl friend for a ride and she said "it's scarey fast" I'm takeing it easy as I can see I will have to learn how to drive this beast.
