The 4S is a beast. I agree, I just want to drive it all day! Great looking car, enjoy.

Love the graffiti on the building. Obviously, you don't park your car anywhere near there.

Thanks for all the kind words! Both side markers are actually smoked, pulled up a couple pictures from different time frames. Before and after

And yes I work in Anaheim (where the picture was taken) and live in Costa Mesa. She should be safe round those streets!

Very, very nice. I had that shifter/e-brake handle combo in my '99. Now I've got this goofy tall shifter in my current car. I loved that shifter that you have - it just feels perfect and is really high quality. Don't even think about changing it - you'll regret it.
Great to hear how much you like the car. With just a little bit of bling, a seal gray car looks really sweet - just a very "substantial" feel to that color - a great color for a Porsche. The carbon fiber interior bits are a good example of some tasteful bling. The black carpet to break up the gray interior is another. Some alumalook gauges, a double DIN nav/Bluetooth stereo with a Porsche crest background, sport seats and some nice tint are all good mods/options. Looks like you already have the tint and sport seats covered.

Yeah there is something about this color... especially when clean it really pops!

All the carbon is really nice looking, and I love the way the shifter feels. It feels great in hand and easy to row through the gears under aggressive driving.

I don't think I will be doing much mods inside the car, speakers eventually but love the stock look with the single cd player. I do have plans on the exterior, will get mixed feelings I am sure when its done but to each his own! Just stoked to go in the parking lot and see a 911, then get into it cause it's mine! haha

Are you kidding? Cayman??? ppsshhhh beat it... haha just kidding but it is funny how crazy people get. But that being said I could have picked up a newer cayman for the same money, but then again it is no 911. Something about this car, I mean it is iconic for a reason!
