Default THIS POST IS USELESS...

WITHOUT PICTURES AND LITTLE STORIES. NO PICTURES WITHOUT A STORY - PLEASE ! NO SAD STOIES EITHER. HERE IS MINE:
Got it a week ago. Missed the old one so much, almost bought it back from the guy (2 years since sold). One March day, the case of winter blues was at its highest point. I was at work on the "Build you own". An hour later I said "@#$% it". And bought the car. Here it is. 2010 C4S, Black Leather Sport Seats, Black Dials, PASM Sport Susp, Sport Chrono Plus, Universal Interface, Side Skirts Yellow, Wheels. Canadian Package.

It's GREAT! Appreciate the model delete. Cleans up what would get to be a busy part of the car. (And of course, the wheels are the best!)

nice ride...agreed with Stevepow that it is nice someone puts themselves out there with a Speed Yellow car. I just ordered my 4th 911 - my first TT - and wish I would have the nerve to order it in Guards Red which has always been my favorite....maybe next one.

Curious as to why you didn't order the front lip painted when you thought about the side skirts - makes the car look a little more sinister I think - despite the obvious potential maintenance issues of a painted surface over the years coming..

Did you store your RBK skates on cement on purpose? Creative way to tell the ol' wife you need to take the car out for a few hours - "I need my skates sharpened"

Seriously, the car is a beauty! +1 on the model delete!

I am still on the fence on this one. This is my only car. But a friend of mine owns a car rental place, so I can get a car for like $400 a month and park this one. What do you think?

Thanks all of you. I was also hoping to see some pics and here some "Dream-Come-True" stories. Speaking of model delete, it was not intentional. I ordered the car with the model painted yellow, but it came in damaged, so they had to remove it and order a new one. When it comes in, the dealer offered to paint it any way I want. What do you think?: "CARRERA 4" in yellow and "S" in red or silver. But I also like the clean look. ????????????

Congrats, beautiful car. I am inclined to use a beater for everyday snow use and drive the car on those beautiful, cold, sunny, Canadian winter days.

Yeah that seems like a good plan. On those nice cold clear days, take the C4S, and when its miserable use your friend's rental.

Beautiful car id go with a red s!

I also appreciate a garage that looks like mine- sure I'd love to have a dedicated- decorated custom tiled display space but what do you do with all the crap! Your floor looks like mine and i can live with that!
