Default Introduction-New guy

I have been lurking on this forum for about 6 months and have learned a great deal from it. I feel I should introduce myself.
I have owned pcars since 1981 and last week traded in my 2001 C2 (a great car) for an 05 tt S. The car is blk on blk with 5,500 miles. It was purchased from a dealer so in addition to the 2+ yrs of original warranty it is CPO, so it has an additional 2 yrs and 100,000 miles. Original MSRP was $152,000. It has tinted windows, K40 radar and laser blinder, and the following options:
XPG - 3-Spoke Str Whl-Aluminium Look
X54 - Stainless Steel Exhaust Pipes
XRC - 18" Sport Techno Wheel
XSY - Seat Belts - Speed Yellow
XSU - Lowered Seats (-10 mm)
P78 - Sport Seats w/Full Leather Int
M6A - Black Mats - Porsche lettering
652 - Delete Sunroof
XAF - Turbo Aerokit
XCE - Rear Center Console Alu-Look
E80 - Aluminum Look Package Large
Y06 - Alum/Lthr Shifter/Brake Handle
XCZ - Sport Shifter
It will be my daily driver. I also know I have to post pics so here they are.

Gorgeous.

And imagine, yellow seat belts to match the ceramic brakes. What'll they think of next?

VERY NICE. Congrats and, although you have been here for a while, Welcome to Rennlist! Thanks for sharing the pisc!

I had to laugh at myself when I saw your 4th pic. When I first looked at it I thought you had a hood scoop on the front. Because of the angle of the pic, the left fender looks like it could be a hood scoop that many of us have seen on Mustangs. It's strange how your brain processes images sometimes. OK, you can call me crazy!

BTW - you should harvest those pumpkins and install some clear side markers. That would be the finishing touch for your AWESOME car!

Wow...that is one hot car. I love the painted console, and while the thought of yellow seat belts doesn't sound so good.....it looks FANTASTIC in that car. The extra "sporty" look for the interior. ENJOY THAT CARRRRRRRR!

Best,
J
