Hope all's well brother!!
All is not well. My first chance to get back to the track is tomorrow and there's an 80% chance of rain. I've had my TT for 6 months and only have 4 sessions on a wet track. Ugh. So I'll just have to live vicariously through you in the mean time.

So do you think that you'll keep the TTS for more than a few months?

lol Yes, the plan is to keep this one for sure!! But................ For the right price, anything is for sale. I feel as though I could make a few bucks on it, like I did my 996tt, but that is NOT why I bought it.

This is a "bucket list" car for me for sure!!

Dude you're joking but in all seriousness, I ALMOST traded in my truck and would have used the money from my 996tt and was looking at a 2015 Rhodium Silver 991.1 Turbo S with a CPO warranty!! lolol
It would have just be STUPID of me, given that they are still depreciating and will for quite some time. Plus I love my truck too.

I think I made the right call for sure!! Way less $ for just a little less performance / bells / whistles.

Congrats! Beautiful choice and an S on top of it... very nice.

Would love to hear your early feelings about going from the 996 to the 997 as far as performance and especially feel. As I've always heard the 996 has way more character (raw-ness), but that could always be biased..

I sent you a PM on FB with my number. Hit me up and we can chat. Right now I haven't even driven it much at all. lol Going out today if the weather holds off.

Thank you BTW!! I'm very happy with it.
