Default Finally Got One!

I have been salivating over these for a while now. This one is almost perfect. No chips, no paint work, no nothing. Perfect options. Now I cannot decide if I sit on or daily drive it.

It would be a shame to hold off for so long, only to get one and sit on it.

Do whatever you want... BUT if you're just going to sit on it, it needs a proper showroom to sit in. Nothing sadder than a garage queen in a plain old garage.

I cannot resist driving it and wife said she is taking out to meet her girlfriends tonight. Garage queens just don’t exist at my household no matter what our intentions.

This is really a great car to drive.

As much as we love our "normal" 997.1s; they just aren't special enough to appreciate vastly. Drive the damn thing! Love it every day.

Congrats. Beautiful car. And good choice deciding to drive it instead of letting it sit. I was mindful about putting miles on my GTS at one time but threw that concern to the wind since I enjoyed driving it too much. Made no sense to deprive myself of that enjoyment just for the sake of preserving value of the car. Didn't buy it as an investment.

Nice Doug.

Being a cab and PDK, drive the heck out of that one. When you find the low mileage, 6 speed GTS coupe with aero kit, that's your garage queen keeper.
