Keep the long side to 800 (or even 600) for web viewing.

I'd like to do that!! Let me check my work schedule for next week and I'll let you know on Monday what days look good for me.

What if we meet half-way? A buddy of mine owns a nice restaurant in Freehold and maybe we could meet for lunch?

Let me know what you think.

Tom

Is a 997.2 a 2012 Porsche and a 997.1 a prior to 2012 Porsche? I thought the new 2012 Porsche was called a 991?

Some models in 2012 were 991 (c2, and c2s) The turbos, c4, c4s and I believe the all the gt's were 997.2 body style and interior until 2014. I am only a novice but I think this is correct.

The first run of 997's was from 2005 - 2008 and are called 997.1. The dot 2's started in 2009.

I only got to spend about 30mins driving her. The only saving grace is the weather was a tad cool and wet so not good convertible weather so that helped ease the pain.

I understand I have a fairly rare color combo. The front lower spoiler has a bit of curb rash that the dealer was going to fix as part of the deal but everything else is flawless.

I think there were quite a few cabs produced with the silver/brown color combo that year, I had heard it was to recall the early Porsche, kind of a throw back tribute. I saw two for sale when I was looking...it's what I was told, but it could be BS.

Enjoy your car, looking forward to pics.
