Always fun to see the white tape on the cars fresh off the boat. On your black car, it almost looks like one of those Geek Squad bugs or an old cop car.

Hey Greg, thanks for posting the baby delivery pics. It's always nice to see one with all the birthing material still attached.

You are most welcome!

I never got to see it in the packing materials though.

O well.

The car is amazing.. im 1/2 way done with a write up on x51 997s vs 996 and my thoughts on my options so far.

In the human world, we call that blood, urine, feces and amniotic fluid. Personally I think the miracle of Porsche birth with the white birthing tape is the beautiful one.

That's what I was thinking of, the amniotic sac material, not the loosey goosey sphincter matter.

Aye. AeroSmith was my original gansta

My car is slightly different though. Mine has SC

I WAS in the PRO WART camp, and I think I have changed my mind. I dont think it has much impact on an x51 engine.

I am still doing a few tests on SC on and off.
Except for the massive change in engine sound, I dont feel the throttle response.

Nice looking car, but I'm not real crazy about your "seat covers!" Congrats!

That's impressive, Greg. That you recorded the production milestones and dates. Wish I had done that. Guess it took the cooperation of your sales guy. But it's a nice memento to share with your kids ...or your grandkids.
