Picked it up, Drove it,...LOVE IT
Today I picked up my dream car (note: dream car, not fantasy car),...the Coochas C4S, all cleaned up from when I last saw it fresh off the truck.
Where to start,...it is just so sweet.
Starting it up and driving away was such a rush - I've been waiting for a 911 for about 25 years. I love the sound, the tight shifter, the way it feeeels,... and what can I say...Speed Yellow suits me to a tee!
The weather around Boston included snow yesterday and today slush - this coupled with it being later in the day, I decided to drive home (20 miles) and wait until tomorrow for some sun.
Here are the obligatory pics and my photojournalistic comments:
Proud owner next to his new baby:
My baby's phat ***:
Driver's Side:
Passenger's Side:
The dash:
Speed Yellow Seat Belts (bad shot,...will repost with natural light):
The cool illuminated door sills:

I think the illuminated sills are only available as "Carrera" or "Carrera S" - if you saw a part for the illuminated "4S" please let me know. I just assumed this was the case but maybe Porsche made a mistake!

So,...can any 4/4S owners out there tell me if their sills say "Carrera" or "Carrera 4?" I am curious! Either way, I love 'em.

I noticed that too...but there are different part numbers listed under each type of available sill.."Only your P Dealer knows for sure." BTW I ordered the CF "S" sills for mine.
