Default First Porsche

Glad to be part of your community. Picked up my first Porsche a month ago - 2008 911 C2S Cab with 13,000 miles. I was on my way to Phoenix to pick up a 2011 M3 when the wife said "Are you sure; why don't you test drive a 911?" She didn't have to say that twice! Here's the first pic with my boys when I just arrived home that day.

Congratulations! Car looks great! A much better choice than an M3. Enjoy!

Cool

Welcome aboard! Good job in jumping right into the car that you really like. You would have been kicking your self every time a 911 passes you driving the M3.

Lol

Ditto.

Was ready to buy a new 2014 BMW 435 and my wife said..."I thought you've always wanted a Porsche".
3 weeks later I picked up my first 911.

Love you honey.

Great wife and great car. I love women who suggest ideas like this.

Nothing worse than the ones who say **** like "Why do you need THAT"

Congratulations! and wecome to the PCAR family

My story is a tad similar in that I went to look at a CPO Cayman S and being 6'4 I had trouble fitting in it...the salesman showed me a recent trade in C4S and we took it for a ride...well when I got home I told my wife "bad news I don't fit in the Cayman...but I drove this bad *** C4S" she then says "Well I guess you will have to get the 911 then"...SOLD!!!

Wife said ok?
Smart is the man that does not say, "are you sure?".

I just added my C4S to the garage...see thread titled "introduction" and my wife actually clapped while jumping up and down when i told her they accepted my offer. That was a special moment. Enjoy your car...love the pics of the kids. Little boys and big boys alike love the Porsche 911.
