It's been about 11 years since I first joined Rennlist. At the time I had the pleasure of owning two different 993's and an '89 Silver Anniversary cab in about a 3 year span. It was fun while it lasted but was a hobby I had to give up with the arrival of my first son. Fast forward 10 years and three kids later, I wake up to realize I'm not getting any younger and it's time to get back into my favorite car since childhood.

About 3 weeks ago after a pretty extensive search I picked up an '09 Carrera with PDK. My two requirements were the aforementioned transmission with sport chrono and a color that wasn't black, silver, or gray. I think I did pretty well. The car has brought back a lot of memories - there have been a lot of advances since the 993 but the 911 DNA is still there. I felt right at home about 5 minutes into my first drive. I look forward to getting back into the local PCA events and being an active member of the boards again. Now for some pics....

Wow! Great Color! Need a few more glamor shots.

Spokane - I tried posting around 6 pictures but I think they won't load due to file size. Thanks for the compliment and I'll try to re-size them.

Welcome back and nice color choice.

BTW, the limit is 1.43 MB... just set your camera to low res 1MB pics.

Great car. I came very close to picking up a 2012 GTS cab in red. Loved the color, just a bit outside my snack bracket. I may regret it. Alas, I'll have to settle for a mere 2009 C4S well optioned cab in black with 6150 miles. . Have fun and welcome back.

Thanks guys - I appreciate the kind words. I was hesitant at first in choosing Guards Red but it looks fantastic on the 997.

Wow, I never think of the easy solution!!!

Uh, I won't say how I know this but a more difficult and time consuming solution would be to EMAIL the photos to yourself and opt for the lower resolution file size (I'm thinking of how my iPhone works here). A less time consuming option might be to copy and crop your photos so they meet the allotted file size.

Guards red is my fav. There is no better color for a 911. I would have a red one but I made the mistake of looking at my birth certificate.

This car is stunning! Welcome back to the 911.

For shrinking photos, download Nikon viewNX, it's free and has a convert option in the file menu to downsize photos (keeps good quality). I find it very handy and quick.

Super nice...maybe I'll join you in the Guards Red club...

Thanks guys - appreciate it. I think my next mod is to fit it with 19" Carrera S2 wheels.

I actually like those wheels. Are they Forgeline?

CAA

They're actually the stock Porsche 18" wheels that came on the car. I believe they call them Carrera IV wheels.
