Smile my new Cabrio

Picked 'er up yesterday. Will never again be this clean.

Thanks to all on the forum for advice and counsel.

997.2 cabrio
natural leather dark grey
pwr comfort seats
PSE
heated seats
19" classic wheels
leather sport steering wheel
Bose / XM / audio interface

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT: CLEAR SIDE MARKERS!

Cannot comment on PSE because I had the Grateful Dead station on too loud the whole first day!

Very nice. I have a white car on order but I have not made up my mind about clear side markers on white.

+1 I like the orange ones.

Sweet car! Now just add colored crests to the center caps!

I'm going for a monochrome look, perhaps wrongheadedly.

Remembered too late to post BLACK AND WHITE photos!

I do know it goes plenty fast for me, handles like a thought, iPod works fine, don't want to take the time to read the manual to learn the onboard computer.

Very nice, white is timeless.

There are 2 or 3 RTFMs to digest. The PCM manual alone is huge although without navi you can skip some of it.

Most people can read (and assimilate) those in a quiet evening. Too bad those are not yet available as PDF files. Chris can you help and post those?

Great choice on the color, getting mine in the same. White really is the best choice for a color - doesn't show scratches, forces you to keep the car clean which reduces drag (by millionths of a fraction) and prevents road scum from eating away at the frame and body. Not to mention as others said, timeless.
