Moved up from 997.1 to 997.2
After some deliberation and good feedback from you fine folks, I went ahead and decided to make the jump to the gen 2 car. Though I didn't have the .1 for very long, still a bit sentimental leaving it at the dealership. I will miss my first Porsche, great car.
On to the new car. Back to a manual in the .2 after having a tip in the .1 car and the difference in enjoyment of driving is pretty impressive. I can appreciate all the tech in the tiptronic trans but too often felt a bit flat when driving around town in 5th gear... Love being back in a manual, car feels more alive.
Pics or it didn't happen, I know. I know. Here you go.
Thank you to all who weighed in with their feedback. All helped me make a decision I am happy with.

I haven't considered trading up from my 997.1 Cab for a whole ton of reasons, but one of the primary reasons would be "What the heck color combo would I choose?"
If I saw your car for sale, I would think about crunching some $$$numbers. I like it that much.
Believe me, a supreme compliment!

What a gorgeous ride. Congrats buddy!
Agree completely about the manual, btw. I don't care that the auto may be 0.1 or something faster on the 0-60. 6 speed is where it's at!

Stunning. The black windscreen frame is a nice touch too. Someone thought this car out very carefully when they were putting it together. I must say the interior color is a surprise, I'm looking forward to pics with the top down to see how it all comes together. Congrats.
