Pizza in San Ramon? Zachary's? I'm all ears. May want to try that myself. What an excuse for a road trip....

Beyond nice. As a Bay Area owner of an '08 Cab with 13,000 miles, can I ask what it went for? Actually, I probably don't want to know.........

Love the car and the color. Congrats. I agree the PSE is absolutely stunning. Wonder why its not a more standard option on dealer ordered cars. My dealer only had one car with PSE when I picked up my car last Jan and it was Guards red..not my color. I had them order one up and brought my car back a week later for install at discounted price it was such an important option to me!

Now go drive her like you stole her! Enjoy!

Grats on the new car, it's a beaut!

I was in St. Helena this weekend. Saw plenty of Porsches, but didn't see yours.
Where did you go for your first jaunt?

@1BlinkGone: I love Chicago style pizza (although I'm partial to the thin crust, but I'll eat the stuffed, too) and Zachary's is my favorite pizza place in the Bay Area. Every couple weekends, I'll make the drive to San Ramon just to get one. They'll half-bake them, too, so you can take it back home, finishing cooking it there, and have a fresh-made pizza at home.

Going north on I-680, you'd take the Crow Canyon exit, turn right, right again, and then one last right into the parking lot. They're on the end of a little shopping center, can't miss them. You can actually see their sign from Crow Canyon Road. Their website is at:

http://www.zacharys.com

I stopped and got one yesterday on the way back home. Zachary's two days in a row, LOL. Good stuff.

@mossjn: The final price we negotiated was $57,400. That doesn't include tax, title, or registration, but it DOES include the CPO (which they said was around $2k) and the pre-CPO servicing (which was around $700). Also, I discovered yesterday that although nav doesn't show up on the option list, they had it added to the car after they bought it, so it does have factory nav on it, too. To be honest, I've never been that big a fan of built-in or DVD-based nav systems, so I'll probably use a new Garmin Nuvi more anyway, but at least it was professionally installed by the dealer.

@winkingchef: Yeah, unfortunately I had to take a cab ride to Fremont BART, and then take BART to Walnut Creek. And it was such a nice day I walked to the dealership. After the walk-through of the car and them explaining some of the features on it, plus chatting to folks who had stopped to look at it cause it was parked up front it was around 3pm before I left, so not enough time to do wine country. But that's definitely on my To Do list.

Thanks again, everybody! So far, she's been a blast to drive, and I'm taking her to work today, too. There's a couple other P-cars in the lot, I'm going to try and find a nice spot over by them

I think yellow ceramics would look awesome on a Speed Yellow car. But my savings accounts is about awesome'd out after the downpayment I had to make to get it

Wow love the speed yellow cab! Congrats. I bought my 09 C4S from Phil Horta too. Really nice guy and great dealership. I work with Melissa in service, she is really good too. Enjoy.
