Default New to the forum and a new owner 09 C2S
Hi guys,
Newbie here. After having my 08 C63 totaled in July, I picked up a 48k mile 09 Carrera S at the end of September.
I have been lurking here since August when I thought I might give a dream car purchase a go. Lot of good reading here that helped me pick the right car for my budget.
Looking to forward to gaining further knowledge and hopefully contributing in the future.

Nice! You know I had two MBs before going Porsche, not sure I'll ever go back.

Great pictures by the way. You know you got the bug when you take the time to take great pictures!

Congrats, she's a beauty! I'm a Porsche noob as well; great to see the community continue to grow. Stock, or lowered? Great stance already.
