Default my new to me 05 997

I have been waiting a long time to own my first porsche, probably since i have been 14 or so (now 37). Well yesterday the car was delivered to me. When i told my 7 yr old guess whats in the driveway he jumped out of bed and yelled out "the porsche" and ran out in his boxer shorts to see it.

2005 997 Mettalic Blue
6spd
19"
Sport Chrono
Xenon
Nav
Bose
Sport Seats

The car has 29,000 miles on it but it has a brand new engine with only 500 miles on it. Its a factory porsche engine from germany, replaced by an authorized porsche dealership.

I cant wait to put miles on it and get it on the track!!

Anthony,

Great meeting you yesterday at the Porsche BBQ. The car is beautiful, one of my favorite colors. You've set the bar high for your seven year old, good! Both of you will enjoy the windshield time, I'm just not sure who will be smiling brighter. Again, congratulations!

Eddie

Thanks guys, i have been driving it all weekend. Now i am looking at websites for mods and things. I plan on getting it on the track soon as well.

Eddie it was great meeting you and your family.

My son sits in the back and i see him through the rear view mirror relaxing and listening to the engine.

Life is good!!

Indeed. My two boys love sitting in the back, listening to the engine.

So fill us in on the details of the purchase ... where did you find it? Any stories driving it home for the first time?
