Default finally!

like many of the new porsche owners here, i've been lurking around the forums studying, reading, and generally trying to suck as much knowledge from your collective brain as possible before jumping in.

and i thank you all, because last weekend, i was finally able to pick her up!

its a 2002, with less than 30k, seal grey and black. bone stock and very few options.

as you, my overly helpful brethren, have led me to be dubious of such low mileage examples, the ppi was performed, indicating overall structural and mechanical righteousness (nary a drop from our friend the rms), but a suggestion to change the oil and other fluids.

and now, with servicing out of the way, i am finally able to what you all always say: put some miles on it!

Congrats Dr!
Get that thing off the trailer and drive her! I'll bet you can't keep the smile off your face.

Congrats.

I don't think this pic will be enough, though. Where do you live, Manhattan?

Looks like the car is a DD. Stock is not so bad in manhattan. PSS9s with 3F/2R however is not.

Congrats on your new ride!

It is rare, but occasionally Macster does make a funny.

Nice find. Have fun with it.

Police don't share the same attitude of the faster you go the smoother the bumps and pot holes are. Enjoy
