Thanks everyone!

Deven, I may see if Sunday is possible. I didn't know your 997 was Atlas also.

Well, I haven't adapted to the adaptive seats yet - can't figure out where I want that darn lumbar. I wish it had 3 seat settings, one for wife, one for me, and one for me when I want it to snuggle up for a more spirited drive. Otherwise I prefer it leave my thighs and lats alone.

I've chosen... wisely? Sounds like the Templar Knight guy who guards the cup at the end of Indiana Jones 3!

To others...

Yes I keep going out to the garage to make sure this is real. Yep, still there.

I'm following the break-in procedure so no comparisons to the M3 that are significant. I'm expecting this to be the better car in every category except practicality and comfort. The Porsche is much more attuned to the road, and that's a good and bad thing. When going through some twisties up the backroad to Prescott and loved it, but when I was tired and coming home on the freeway I was bothered by how squirrel-y the car feels at 90 and every bump is felt dearly.

One last thing, I love the painted center console. Looks sharp. Wish I did this.

Nice selection of options! I love Atlas Grey but my triple black cab will be here in a couple days! My dealer had a Atlas C2S Cab and the wife and I would have bought it but it had tan interior and it just did not look right to us in that combo. Again, great choice of colors and options! Enjoy!
