This is the only way to take delivery of a car like this. To this day I regret not taking the opportunity to drive my baby from SoCal to Boston.

 

Enjoyed reading your writeup. No PPI but obviously you've confirmed that the AC works! Beautiful car. Congrats!

 

 

Nice backstory to your 997 ownership. The car looks great and what a fun drive home.

Welcome to the Silver 977 ownership club.

 

Congratulations, and very nice write-up. And happy anniversary!

 

Congrats and nice story. Everyone knows Silver is the best Porsche color and now you have one.

 

I hate silver cars, but theres something about a silver Porsche.

Welcome and nice ride!

 

I've done two short road trips for car purchases before, a BMW Z4 coupe about 300 miles away and an r129 SL500 I just picked up about 250 miles away. Both were just the right amount of travel for a fun day trip. I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a car in another state and turn it into a weekend trip (or longer). Congrats on your purchase and welcome! Silver Porsches are beautiful.

 

Congrats on becoming a Porsche owner and hope you enjoy many miles of smiles. The 997S looks beautiful.

 

117 degrees !@#$% Yikes

 

Enjoy the ride young man!!! At least you didn't have to wait for the kids to be out of college, the house to be paid off, etc. etc. etc. Have fun and never look back!!!

 

Thanks for all the kind words, everybody. Silver is a classic color, and there's really not a lot of 911s in Denver so it still stands out. The first car I ever bought new was silver (2005 Acura RSX-S) - I've always loved the color.

Got a booster seat installed in the back yesterday and took my 4 year old to/from daycare today. Now he wants every ride to be in daddy's "magic" car. Hopefully I'll be able to oblige. ;-)

 

Ayyee, my first brand new car was an 02 RSX-S. Loved that car. It went through many phases of mods and my stupidity. Cams, Turbocharging, different cams, bigger turbo, and still ran like a champ when I sold it.

 

Congrats from a fellow Coloradan on both the car and the anniversary! Sounds as though you've been after a 911 for quite a while; must feel a little surreal to now have it parked in the garage? I know it was for me... One of those 'pinch me' moments...



Recently did a 3k trip in my car as well, and can attest that these cars do a phenominal job in killing bugs! Road trips seems to be the perfect opportunity to let these cars stretch their legs...
