Default New Porsche owner!

Hey guys, I'm Jerry, and I'm a new Pcar owner! I recently purchased a manual 997.2 S and I have been loving it every day. I used to have a Gen2 Viper, and it's obviously a much different experience. I used to think the Carreras weren't "manly" enough, but now I get it. Much faster than they let on to be, and they are a JOY to drive!

Congrats and welcome.
Great color and wheels (although I am clearly a little biased...my car below)

Nice to see a near twin on the site

ECM2, your car is beautiful! I love the little tweaks you've done. I might have to copy some.

GSXR750, Aren't they amazing?! Not the quickest car in the world, but plenty fast for the street, and the driving experience is so much FUN

drivekulture,

My friend let me drive a few of his cars, so its his fault.
I found myself grinning the whole time and by the time we got to Newcombs Ranch, I was hooked. it took me quite a long time to find a car. My wife likes the car thing since I don't have to leather and body armor up to have fun on the crest or the track. So now I'm thinking of selling some of the sport bikes maybe....

thanks
mike

GSXR750, I'm sure it wont match the adrenaline rush you get from a bike, but if you sell bike, that might be some money for mods.

ECM2, Do you have stone guards? If so, did you do the graphics over the top of the stone guards?
