Awesome car!!! Congrats...
This whole "Buy a 911" thing is addictive. LOL At least we're doing our part to help the stimulus (that's my rationalization).![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Enjoy the hell out of it!

Very, very nice....The Turbos look best in black (IMHO) as it tends to tone down the extra black plastic vents, scoops, air dams etc. By the way, my insurance on a 2007 C2S is surprisingly reasonable with USAA--does anybody have any idea how much of a premium increase a Turbo usually entails?

Thanks hidalgo,
Your TT looks great in Atlas Grey (my color as well). Also prefer your wheels over the stock Turbos. It seems (amazingly enough) that the insurance rates reflect the mostly mature/responsible owners who buy these cars.

Jim: Any options you wished you had? what options are you pleased it doesn't have? I assume you bought it off the floor rather than ordering it. The option list is so long and inviting!

I was also looking at a Black one but it did not have Adaptive Sport Seats or short shifter, which swayed me to the Basalt one. Had I ordered, I would not have ordered the CD Changer, but I think I would have ordered everything else on my car. The Black one had a leather rear center console, carbon fiber lighted door sills, and XM radio. XM I can live without; the other items were nice bits that would be nice to have, but not essential and anyway easily added later if I really wanted them. Nothing else I would order that was in any way "essential" to me.
