Hello and thanks for having me here. I just purchased my first Porsche and I'm sure not my last. I'm coming from owning Corvettes so please don't hold that against me. I have owned Audis in the past but always wanted a 911. here are some pix of my 2011 C4S. She only had 18k on the odo. Thanks again. JV

Welcome and congratulations. I suspect you have been lurking for a bit as you knew that without pictures it didn't happen

Not really Dasdman, just came from vette forums that always want pix for noobs. So I figured may as well get it right the first time. I found the Porsche last Thursday ( I was looking for a 2S) and found this site in the evening. Seems like a wealth of info. here which is what I was hoping for. Cheers and thanks.

Ksozay, she's a beauty! Where did you get the black rear fender protectors, mine are clear and starting to yellow a bit, I would like to replace them with black.

Nothing to hold against you here! I had five Corvettes between 1985 and 2006 prior to my first Porsche. Then I saw the light and don't see ever turning back.

I agreed with VanSant62... a very classic yet modern look at the same time. Those wonderfully wide 4S hips are a joy. Nicely done!

Default Love the red Interior!

Welcome! I have not been her long myself but got here as quick as I could. Nice car though. I agree that 1 is not enough. I have a Macan also with my 997.
