I just got my 2001 Carrera delivered this morning! Since this was the first time I saw it in person, started it, touched it and drove it, I am more than happy with the car. In fact, it's better than I had anticipated and it's far more beautiful in person than the photos. I'm keeping somewhat of a blog / maintenance / experience log/blog of this car… and really, anything to do with Porsche.

Just a few seconds after accepting delivery:

^What they said!

 

Very nice, like the color.

 

Good looking car. Congratulations!

 

Yea, very clean looking... Did they wash your car before delivery? They must have done, right, nice touch. Enjoy your new car, cheers!

 

Very nice, it may be my favorite color on the 996. Enjoy the car.

 

Congrats and gorgeous color.

Great-looking car, congrats!!!!

 

Thanks everyone for the compliments, I absolutely love the car! I was having doubts about selling my Boxster (986)… but after driving the 911 for just a few hours, I don't know if I'll ever drive the Boxster again. I suppose I'll be posting it for sale soon.

 

Zanzibar Red? Looks clean, enjoy

 

Beautiful car! Congrats!
