First PCar!

I am picking up my first Porsche tomorrow! It is a 2004 911 anniversary edition. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve! It has been a dream since I had the poster of a 911 SC on the wall as a kid.

The board has been really helpful with information - especially the 996 buyers guide. So thanks to everyone. I hope to become an active participant soon! Hopefully pics in the next couple of days!

I picked up my first 911 (993) last month. I know your feeling. The anticipation is worth it. Good Luck!!

Congrats! It's been 2 years since I got my first 911 and I still find myself going into the garage to take a peek at the car.

Post pictures when you get it.
