Default Finally Bought One - 997.2 C4S

Been looking for over a year and finally got tired of searching and sitting on the sidelines. This is my first Porsche. The car will be on a truck on Monday and I'll update this thread with my own pics once it arrives. Thanks to everyone in the forum for their advice and for giving me great topics to read while I searched.

Here are the pics from the dealership for now...

I had been flip-flopping between the 991 and the 997 for a very long time. The day I decided to buy this car, I had seen a 991 at lunch time on the highway and thought..."991 is the better looking car, hands down."

Then on my drive home, a Meteor Grey 997.1 C4S with a GT3 front bumper and lip came up in my rearview and gracefully passed me in what felt like slow motion. Looked like a model walking down a runway. I made the call to the dealer from my hands free device a few minutes later.

The crazy thing is that I can go months without seeing a 911 on the road where I live.

Thanks. I used to have a Z3 when I lived in Germany, also. Wasn't an ///M like yours, but I loved that car.
