Congrats Alin!

Great choice in colors. I also see you opted for the special plastic-backed seats.
Any particular reason you got heated seats on a coupe? I can see getting them on a cab for night time, top down Southern Cal driving.

If anything I wish they made chillers for seats. It gets too darn warm sitting in leather seats in the summer even with the AC full blast. Maybe someone will come up with (if they haven't already) a means for piping AC into the seats, or utilizing heat-pipes for cooling. Yeah, then I can really mean it when I say I'm going to chill for a while in my 911, or that I got really cool seats. Hey, it's late at night and my beer's getting warm.

Alin, beautiful! Atlas seems to be evermore popular with rennlisters. A number of new 997 Atlas babies have been recently photographed and posted here. When I order again I may go that way too. Love the plant "growing" above the cabinets to the right.

Ben, Lexus can pipe chilled air through the seats; but, Lexus is like a slow moving living room.

Yeah, I wasn't surprised someone was offering that - it's an obvious application. Well on the opposite end of the spectrum, I think I've heard that Indy cars also have chilled seats. Oh wait, that wouldn't make sense with those space suits they wear. It's gotta be in the suit itself the chillin' if at all.

Thanks to everyone’s compliment, I’m every happy with the color combo and Maryle8802 is right Atlas has become very popular lately.

Vtach88 you are right about being impossible to drive anything else and be happy. Now I'm worry

OCBen heated seats is wife option. It’s all about compromise

Hehehe, MB has had chilled seats for a while now, and even my co-worker's Expedition has the nut coolers as well.

Alin,

Please post more pictures. If I can gather the courage (and the money) that's exactly the color combination I will order this winter. The car looks outstanding.

Very nice!!! Hope you enjoy it to the max!

BTW: As a fellow Californian, you may want to get that orange work lamp out of the way. Earthquakes can do nasty things to beautiful cars when things come flying.
