Congrats and welcome to the wonderful world of Porsche ownership. There really is no substitute.
Sure 911s are not the most exotic looking vehicles. But their performance and reliability are 2nd to none.

Thanks man ..
Ha ! there she is , lol .. Was really impressed with those guys, top notch shop .. Greg who sold me the car is a super kool guy , very professional and a wealth of Porsche information . And was a past president for Porsche Club of America Redwood Region , and also a rennlist member.. I'm very satisfied with the deal ,, especially the condition of the car .. And I'm very confident driving it home 500 miles .. This was not the plan I had to buy a 911 . Was planning on flying home purchasing one closer to home in the near future , but ,, I stumbled on it ,and jumped on it .
Whats kool too is he's holding the car for me in their show room , Till I pic it up on Monday .. Because I don't like the parking situation in the streets . I really appreciate that ..

Black aint my color but boy do they look good when all spiffed up. Dont know what you paid, but the dealer really did a great job on the detail. Have more fun than the law will allow!
First I've heard of the front luggage compartment cooling system? Do you just pop the hood and drive???????
*didn't see you had two threads, thought I posted already.....
Thanks ! Actually yes , I would like to get 400 + hp out of her . I just need to gather information on how to get that accomplished with out super charging her .. first thing I'm going to do is run a fused power source for my phone and figure out how to get a aux hooked up for music . I like hard wiring things dont really want blue tooth ..
I'm not sure about the luggage compartment cooling .. I just assumed that a vent of some kind is added to circulate air . But Ill find out this afternoon . Change of plans , Im taking possession of the car this afternoon instead of Monday ,, due tro rain all next week. Saturday is my window to drive home with no rain ...
Ya ,I mistakenly posted over on the older 911 threads .

I've spoken to Greg a few times regarding a few 993's that I was interested in. They are a very through shop and wouldn't hesitate to buy a 911 from them. I have the same year and model but opposite in white. Hope to see you at the PCA SDR events.

I hear ya ,, actually I wanted that dark forest emerald green ., or Silver . She will be garaged so it wont be too bad keeping the car clean ... But I do like her wearing black ...

Good to hear ,, thanks for confirming .. They won't take just any car ,, it has to meet their standards before they even consider repairing and selling .. And I like the fact that they have factory trained techs that perform the PPI and all repairs .. This is one of the reasons I purchased the car , I put a value on that ..
If you haven't already driven back to SD, I can send you the absolute best route for a 997 from SF to LA. Take 25 from Hollister to Coalinga and then pick up 33 through Los Padres Forest to Ojai, then down to Malibu. Its an 8hr race track through desolate country roads.
