Thanks for the warm welcome! I thought I was a porsche nut before...now I'm hooked for life.

re: the color, I know but I just couldnt pass this one up! I was looking for white gray silver or yellow.

Looks good. 6 weeks into my first 911 all I can tell you is that the grin just keeps getting bigger as you learn what the car will do.

Forgive my lack of knowledge on porsche slang, but what the hell are "pumpkins."

from my short time here, i gather it is the amber side markers. Once I noticed them I can't NOT see them. I have to change them very soon.

yup - thats it!

Welcome, its really clean looking... time to read how to do everything from start it, to drive it to take care of it.... you'll be busy between that and the sore cheeks from all the grinning

I had to ask the same thing. I need to change my avatar, but that was the first thing I did.

About $25 from PelicanParts.com and it takes about 5 minutes to change them. 4 minutes of that was being really careful with the first one so as not to break anything. Just grab it at the fender opening and pull straight out.

He has another one there but it is a 2005 996. Really sweet car but quite a bit more $$. Robert was absolutely fantastic to deal with!

Nice car! Welcome. I've had my C4S for a year now and still feel like you described.
