Congrats man, great looking Carrera. Also pretty cool your car shared a trailer with that Mustang a year before it's even sold.

Nice car...now you need a clear day to do a detailed photoshoot with the car on the ground.

Nice car! Are you going to put her to bed for the rest of the winter?

As above... are you putting her to bed for the rest of the winter? If not, get some winter boots now. They will be cheap compared to the first four feet of your car.

Thanks all for the warm welcome! I finally had a short drive in it this past weekend and it is tight. Love it.

I dropped it off at the dealer today to give it its first scheduled major service, as the PO alerted me that it was due. Any Michiganders here who can recommend a good service shop? This first service stop was at Porsche of Farmington Hills since they're in my backyard.

When I get it back, it will sit in my garage until the weather breaks as it is not my DD. In the meantime, I'll see if I can get some detail photos of the interior to show you.

Thanks for sharing. Having your car dangle like that for 90 minutes must have been painful. Glad it all worked out and congrats!

Congrats! No first hand experience, but when I was looking at a car out that way earlier, a number of people suggested Jeff at Automotive Techniques in Novi.

Cocoa is my favorite interior. If I were ordering a car new (never will though) I would do two tone dash, black on top, cocoa below, cocoa seats (possible inserts) and black carpet.

I had a similar scene going on Xmas day with a delivery truck, but luckily no dangling.

Can't wait to see the pics. Maybe try to expose the images so they have the same brightness as they would in person.
