Hi all,

I finally picked up my first 911. I have always had BMWs in the past, and most recently a track focused e46 m3. I have been tracking this m3 since 2010, so its time to move up to something else completely different. I knew I wanted a lighter car + Porsche next, but there are so many choices around this price range. The requirements ultimately came down to 911 + manual + trackable. I was able to find this one owner car locally with only 10k miles, and the drive home was pretty AMAZING! Excited to learn about these cars!



Ready to leave the dealer


Gotta feed this beast


First order of business, PCH!


Home sweet home!

I hate to say it but you will forget about BMW from a performance car sense. I had a similar path.

Enjoy the new ride.

you are right. I drove the m3 out for a showing today. It felt like a civic. Oh boy.

Thanks everyone!

Congratulations! I moved up from M cars myself and haven't looked back. GT Silver over black full leather is where my heart lies as well! Enjoy in good health and I wish you the best ownership experience!
