Default First Post, Be Gentle

Started with a 1976 Datsun 280Z(owned 5 years), then lived in England and had a 1983 RHD Guards Red 944(owned 2 years), then a US 1985 Garnet Red Porsche 944(owned 13 years). There was a short gap in ownership until I purchased a slightly used 1993 Porsche RS America(owned 15 years). Recently acquired a 2012 Carrera GTS with Aero Kit in Basalt Black. Love the car!! Also have a 2014 Infiniti Q60 IPL, which is a great daily driver and excellent sport coupe. Picture of the GTS below(hope I'm doing this posting thing correctly): Name:  635734392009778048.jpg

Welcome! Why would we not be gentle?

I had a similar path to my GTS. Started with 1st gen RX-7 (5 years), 3rd gen RX-7 (14 years), 996C2 (6 months), 993TT (1 year), 996GT3 (10 years), now the 997GTS (1 year). Kept the 3rd gen RX-7 through the first couple of years of owning the 6GT3. Finally, cut that cord.

Welcome to the GTS club.
I'm envious of the Aerokit. It's on my short list of things to get for mine in the future.

beautiful car. Only reason we would not be gentle is if you did not post the obligatory picture, which you did. More pictures would be great!

The colour, color to my American friends :-), is opposite to mine :-) Very nice!

GTS and Aero: That's good theatre right there, and in a very good colour.
