Default Finally got one

New for me my first P-ca: 2008 C2 6MT Cab. I have been searching on-and-off for the past several years - my first post here was 2014. I really wanted a 997.2 C2S 6MT Cab but needed other than black interior and choices were few and prices grew out of our comfort zone. This car was a two-owner NC car which allowed my wife and me to go visit in person. I was a bit (overly) swayed by the color - Ruby Red. My wife is driving it more than I am!
I struggle to find the words to express how grateful I am to all of you Rennlisters. I have spent hundreds of hours reading your posts, building a list of maintenance items and potential mods (yeah me, updated coolant cap installed), and growing my caretaking confidence from all of your DIY posts.
This purchase was a big deal for us. I don’t know if we would have gotten to this wonderful place of being 911 owners and drivers if not for this community.

Stunning and beautiful car. Congrats on taking the "Ruby RED Porsche Pill" . You will never look at cars the same way again. Enjoy in good health and make sure to visit that red line often.
