Hello all...

Ok, so I have been a lurker on this amazing site for a VERY long time. I mean years. I have done so much research along the way, all the while preparing myself for the purchase of my first 911. (I had a 914 back in the day). Last night, I became the first time owner I have been dreaming of since back in my 20's. I just picked up a beautiful 2007 Carrera, black on grey, from Mercedes Benz of Long Beach. I have a red mark on my arm from all of the pinching I have done! lol



I know that, without pics, it never happened, so here you go. The first pic is a lousy camera/phone shot just before driving off the lot. The rest are from the advertisement web page of the dealer.

 

Welcome!
Congrats!
I like the black wheels!
First thing you'll hear here is swap the orange side markers with clear ones. In some cases I think the orange looks fine,but in your case clear is a must IMHO.
Enjoy!

 

Heck yes. Welcome officially to the 997 club.

 

Very nice. Congratulations.

 

Nice car. We have a similar side profile.

 

Congrats on your new car ....shiny side up !

 

I'd just like to offer a bulk 'thank you' to all of you great folks for the congratulations! I'm sure that there will be more, so anyone chiming in after this, please consider yourself thanked.

 

Moab... I like it! I was not so sure at first about the all black, but I am VERY happy now that I have had a chance to sit with it for a while.

 

Congrats and welcome to RL as a 911 owner... very nice color combo. Check that one off the bucket list.

 

Indeed! Next stop, a membership.

 

Welcome and congrats! love the black with black wheels

 

Wow... seems to be a popular combination!

 

Very nice....congrats!!

Tom

 

Hmmmm....

A black car, feel my pain. LOL.




P.S. Drive it like you stole it!

 

as others have said, lose the orange marker. it will look much better (although your car looks great, as is). I also added a tint and an akrapovic exhaust. The exhaust is pure magic (here are a couple shots of it).

enjoy your ride!!!
