Default Happy new 997 owner

New forum member checking in to say "hi". I've had my new (to me) Carrera S for a few weeks now and I'm simply smitten with this car.

This is my first Porsche. I've lusted over these cars since the '70s as a teen. Now finally my dream car is sitting in my garage - Basalt Black with full leather Cocoa interior.

Nice p-car! Enjoy in good health!

Oh and don't forget to clear our those side markers. It looks great on black and it brings out the red in the calipers

I have same color combo and same wheels best looking OEM wheels out there IMHO super easy to clean as well. +100 that you need the clear markers....amazingly, those little lights change the whole look of the car. Enjoy it.

Another Basalt Black 997 in Hawaii

Did you join PCA-Hi? We just had our picnic.

If you don't know there is a Cars and Coffee on the second Saturday of each month (this Saturday) at Pier 38 by Nico's the parking is at the warehouse building across from Uncle's/Nico's. Many different cars show up, it starts around 8 am and goes until whenever.
