Default My 997S after one wk

I had my 997S for about one wk now. I am loving the every minute of the car. I am glad that I decided to go with Artic Silver car that I can get now rather than the GT silver one that I would've had to wait until May to get. I put on 720miles in one wk. The car is perfect so far. No problem what so ever. I am actually volunteering for the errands just so that I can drive the car. Who would've thought. Here are some pictures:

Skidmark, I also bought my Midnight Blue 997 S from Byers.
I just took delivery a couple weeks ago.
The weather and my travels has only allowed me to put on 99 miles.
Great looking car!

PS what is the build date on your car?
What options does it have?

I'm really not warming up to that steering wheel, but other than that - very nice!

Great! We have twin cars. I'm thinking more and more that I need that painted console.

Wow, that black interior with the aluma-look rear console is really sharp as it draws all the other aluma-look pieces together and plays against the black. Sharp.

Spring is really, really, really close!!

Brian E,
The car was Jan 05 built. Options on it are: Nav, Sports chrono, Adaptive sporsts seat, Boss sound system, CD charger, colored crest on wheel, exterior color on center rear console. The car came in the wk after you got yours. I live in Southern Illinois and flew to Columbus Ohio and drove it home. Put 415miles just getting it home but it was a blast.

BD 997,
The Illinois regulation requires front plate. I didn't ask them to put it on, but since it requires it anyway it didn't bother me. I'll probably get one of those chrome plate holder with 911 insignia on it from ebay.

Connecticut also requires a front plate, but I risk the ticket....having been doing so for years with all of my cars and never got a ticket. Oh boy!, I just may have jinxed myself.

Enjoy the car and contratulations!

Since when does CT require a front plate? I always thought it was rear only in CT? I live in NJ and have NY plates on all of my cars (additional residence)...I never run front plates. I can't stand them.
