Default Dead battery = new car

For the past few months I have been "looking" at my possibilities for my lease end replacement. Residuals and money factors from PF are not good right now so I had been considering leaving the brand. I wasn't happy about having to make that choice, but it was looking like a reality.

This week I went out to start my car only to find it dead. Porsche roadside came out and got it started and I took it in to the dealer. I decided to sit an wait on the replacement battery. Well, long story short is dealer worked the car figures and bye bye black , hello white :





I'm loving this look as compared to the one that it replaced:



I stuck with the 6MT, but went from C2S to C4S. By the way, 6MT are getting harder and harder to find in stock.

That worked out well for you. Those wheels do look good on a white car.

Congratulations

Once you go white, you'll never go black. Or something like that.

I'll probably do the same thing with my next p-car. I think that white shows off the curves better than almost any other color and, next to silver, you can't beat the maintanence free aspects.

When it comes to women though.................

And to think so many are missing opportunities buying a battery tender instead!

Those wheels look fantastic. How did you end with those wheels? I didn't think they were an option for the regular 911 lineup.

White is a very popular color. At one time it was considered an old man's Florida car color. No more. White is in!!

Those Fuchs Classic wheels are awesome!

Unfortunately won't fit a C2 or I would run out and pick up a set.

Enjoy!

Factory was the turbo II wheel which looked nice, but this looks so much better. The dealer installed them on the car and they were really a sticking part of the deal.
