Default Nervous 1st-Timer (P-Car owner & Poster!)

My Esteemed Fellow Rennlisters,

I have observed from afar, the nuances of your communication, personalities, preferences and irritants. So, it is with some trepidation--and dare I say, "honor"--that I submit my first post, and share pics with you of the realization of a dream I've had since about 3 years old: owning a Porsche.

I've learned SO much from you folks, and am so appreciative! I know if I'm ever near Santa Barbara, I'm tracking down Dan to compare our NB interiors (and I think a photo of our cars together would be neat)...I know to always include photos when possible to appease Tim K, and that if I'm in Boston, I'm buying Dave a beer and know I am bound to laugh...Thanks for sharing your love of all things Porsche with me.

Oh--and of course, I've already paid for my initial 2-year membership. I've been paying attention!

Here are pics of my new baby:

Welcome to Rennlist! Congrats on getting your first P-car. Good for you on becoming a Member right out of the box.

WOW, awesome looking Cab! Great introduction, with pics no less. I guess my "Pic Patrol" reputation is spreading beyone the 996 Forum.

The only thing I don't understand is why you were nervous about posting. Let's see.... great looking car... check, posted pics... check, became a Member... check. You've covered all of the bases.

Gorgeous car. Carmona is such a rich, classy color, I've never seen it before! Love those wheels, too.

Beautiful Cab! Certainly won't see many on the road with your color combo.

Congrats.

What a grand entrance. Congrats on a fine looking 997. No need to be nervous - I hope it is all grins from here on.

Welcome to the Show! Just received my clear side markers this week - any tips on installation? Oh and this is a borderline hijacking - sorry!

All--
Thanks for the warm reception!
Pred8or: Good catch...it IS Carmon. Sorry.
vjgtrybno1: As my clears were already on this vehicle, I have no specific tips for you with your installation. I did do the install for the clears on my 7-series, and I just remember being very, very careful with having a flathead screwdriver anywhere near the car!
