Default Tale of a Lurker

"911, an interesting car. So how should I check it out. OK, I'll do a Google search, hey what's that? Rennlist...well let's take a look. "

Well folks that's how it started, my career as a Lurker. Look for color pics, check Rennlist....lurk, lurk, lurk...Wait, what about peoples thoughts on Options? lurk,lurk.......OK, but what's this? Two people were banned! Oh my, this is better then watching American Idol! Reality Porsche channel, great stuff! lurk, lurk. And wait, If I am really thinking about buying a 977, how can I check out reliability? lurk, lurk. Holly cow! The Tiptronics always starts in second gear? lurk.....lurk


OK, all this lurking is geting to me, so I decide to finally take a test drive. But before I do that, I need to decide on the type of seat to try out so I can maximize my time at the dealership..off to Rennlist...lurk lurk.
So I go, and yes you guessed it, I was thrilled. Yes all those optinions on the forum were correct. sport seat with power..good midnight blue...goood, bose...not so good but too tough luck....sat radio...find a cheyenne. But somehow, when all was said and done my wallet was lighter to the tune of a down payment. So I am now a Waiter Grade 1, an upgrade from Lurker Grade 1. Funny, didn't get a pay increase from the promotion.......

On order:
C2 Cab
Midnight Blue
Sand Biege
Sport Chrono
Tiptronic
Bose
Power/heated seat
Nav

Your color and options are pretty much like mine. I got a different color interior. Picking mine up at Porsche of North Olmsted in Cleveland next Wednesday. Flying out of Vegas and driving home.

i found out about rennlist on a google search too...
I was trying to figure out how to change the bulbs in my 99 C4 instrument cluster and I got the solution from Loren and Jeff (toolpants) within minutes.
This site is amazing.
btw, good choice on color, I really like the midnight blue see it everyday at work in the parking garage.

Well, no pay increase from your promotion, but the increase level of excitement is off the chart.

I know the feeling, my first P-car was 24 years ago and still no regrets. I hope you will enjoy many years of happy motoring!

When I first jumped into the Porsche pool (hot tub?) I always said that for one day a month I didn't like my car, but after the payment was made I loved ALL the remaining seconds. Welcome to the illness.
