Congrats, dubsiren! I just completed my first week of Porsche ownership, also with a 2008 C2S (but a coupe) and I'm still pinching myself.

The way you bond with these cars is really crazy–enjoy the experience!!

And I'll post a pic to encourage you to do the same:

Welcome to the BCM (Black Cars Matter) group.

I have 2 of those - a 914 and 928. My 997s aren't, but nothing looks better than a clean and shiny black car. We need pics though.

Congrats. Be prepared for a smile you can't wipe off your face. As others have said ...

Pics or it never happened.

Black is not a color, it's a hobby.

Enjoy!!!

Welcome! Contrats DubSiren. Dying to see some pix and...that is an interesting nicname
Congrats HeavySixer22, great color and you are in a great PCA region!

Totally normal to wake up in the middle of the night standing in the garage looking at it.
I put a fridge in my garage to make it easier in those moments.

Cheers!
