Default My First Porsche (2008 911 C2S)

Just picked her up yesterday. My night went something like this:
1) watch some TV
2) go for a spin
3) eat dinner
4) go for a spin
5) look up car info
6) go for a spin
7) go to bed
8) get up and go for a spin

...I think I'll go for another spin now.

Congrats Tom, she's gorgeous!
Now you need to crack a beer and stare at her in the garage until the neighbors start talking about you... mine do.

Dude, you're wasting valuable seat time. Cut out 1, 3, 5 and 7, and drive it some more!

Congrats on the new ride...T

I have the same in Cabrio Meteor Grey metallic. You will start getting strange looks from the gas station attendant because you'll find yourself there quite often. You never want to get out of the car. I think I put 2000 miles on the first month without really going anywhere. You'll also go to the store for your wife and conveniently "forget" something just so you can go back.
