Default The Tradition Continues........
OK, it is finally time to join the party.

Just picked up a 2008 C2S Cab 997. I ordered my first ever Porsche in October and am now beyond ecstatic. Have been trolling Rennlist for several months and must thank dozens of you for the amazing quantity and quality of data and experiences. I never could have done it by myself (without screwing up the order) if I couldn't have relied on the collective efforts of this braintrust. Very impressive.

Very much looking forward to getting well beyond 4200 on the tach. Even so, the drive has already been amazing.

Details of the car specs are listed below at my "signature" and the photos (although pre-detailing) speak for themselves. Thanks again for all of your help regarding so many details of the introduction to life with a 911.

Geeeze! For all the money you paid your 911 doesn't come with a top?

- Ha, just kidding of course. Cabs are simply the best. It's a beautiful car, congrats. Enjoy every mile, I know you will.
