Default Atlanta

Might be moving to Atlanta. Can anyone point me to their favorite Porsche dealer(s) and or general Porsche scene. Would likely be Dunwoody or the general area.

Second Hennessy.

Dunwoody is a nice area, just be prepared to sit in traffic. It is horrible anywhere north of 285

Yeah, not going to happen.

I live in Roswell, and work in Sandy Springs. It is 7 miles, and it takes me 30 minutes minimum.

The weather alone is worth it, you get to drive your Porsche year round

Live in Dunwoody and love it. Traffic - meh...

Absolute best shop is Goldcrest. PCA is fairly active. Shoot me a PM and I'll be glad to help.

Hennessy, John Dissen. Just live near your work. You get used to the traffic and just plan around it.

How come guys don't use Jim Ellis?

Hennessy is the best. Johns Creek is hard to beat. Country Club of South.

I've used Jim Ellis since day one with NO complaints. I find that there are good knowledgeable people at both locations. IMO, neither is the place to get the best "deal" on a car.

Housing is great....a buyers market, especially Johns Creek,Roswell, Alpharetta and Cumming and you get trees and grass and friendly neighbors and good schools. There is plenty of empty high rises in Buckhead and Midtown...but not the greatest area to house a GT3 or schools for kids.

Traffic depends on where you work and what you do....I work out of my house in Cumming and see customers from 9-3 and traffic is not that big of a deal. Early morning and late afternoon traffic however is a different story....

I use to live in a loft in Midtown and loved it. My wife made me move to the burbs due to her drive.

When I was in a loft I used this
