Howdy! I'm Joe, I live in Arizona and I've wanted a 911 since I was barely tall enough to reach the pedals.

A local dealership made some magic happen and I drove away in a very gently used 2008 C2S

I've heard a lot about this forum and I can't tell y'all how excited I am to have an official reason to join!

Very Nice, my Favorite Color, get some clear side markers, it is a 5 minute install and cleans up the side.

Looks like mine except mine is a 2010, I even bought those wheels last month.

Congrats!!!!

Great pick. My favorite color (tie w/silver) and rims.

Congrats.

Thanks!

I haven't snapped any pics of the interior, but I can tell you that whoever had it before me really knew how to take care of a car.

I've got...let's see. Black leather interior. Alcantra roof w/moonroof. Sport Chrono package. Sport Exhaust. 6-speed manual (obviously) . No Nav. Anything I'm leaving out?

A bonus of being in Arizona is that I have some friends over at Evolution Motorsports, and they're already in my ear about mods...but I want to learn and enjoy the car first. I've got a ton of stuff bookmarked over at Suncoast Parts as well; I would love to keep this car as long as it runs and add some personal touches. Thanks for the heads up on the side markers - bookmarked that too.

It's funny that everyone likes them so much, because one of the first things I'm wanting to do is switch to 997 turbo wheels

Nicely done! Bet the white paint and tinted windows will work in AZ.
