Default Porsche 911

Great being out of that ****hole Afghanistan and being back in the USA. I've been enjoying the 997 since being back. Such a beautiful car. It doesn't get the attention that my Shelby GT500 gets, but I like being more subtle sometimes. I think what impresses me the most is being able to take steep turns at such high speeds without a hint of bodyroll, hesitation or sliding whatsover. Always glues, very quick and fun.

I will the say the stock exhaust is a joke, i've ordered the Porsche Sport Exhaust to be installed at the local dealership. Looking forward to hearing the true sound next week.

The 911 and the Shelby look good together in the garage, i'll get some shots later on.

Firstly, thank you for your service! And welcome home!

On a less serious note, I bet that you love the PSE. Sounds fantastic.

The PSE is a much greater improvement over stock, good choice. Welcome back to the civilized world.

Thank you for your service and glad you are back safely. Enjoy your car.
Mine is at the dealership in Bellingham, WA, waiting to be transported.

Hopefully I will get my hands on my first Porsche about Oct 16.

AIRBORNE!

Thanks for your service. PSE is great. The FA guys would not be able to hear the difference.
