Default New owner...forever ruined!

Hi,
I am the ecstatic new owner of a 2008 997 GT3. 2 owner Denver, CO car all it's life. Black/Black. 25,000 miles. Not your typical condition at that mileage as the car interior/exterior literally looks showroom new ! Car came with all maintenance records since day 1...over maintained I might add. Sharkwerks exhaust, ecu re-flash, new Pilot + tires, new clutch/pp/flywheel, coolant hose repair ala Sharkwerks. Thanks to Todd the previous owner for being such a good steward of this car, and making the deal easy.
Flew to Denver yesterday morning to pick the car up. 350 miles in the mountains yesterday, it was epic!

Cheers,
Chris

I agree with your enthusiasm and all comments.

I just went through the same ordeal, picked up an 07 white GT3 with 15k miles in Toronto and put on 5k miles driving it back thru some amazing roads in the north east USA.

welcome to the CULT.
i see you have all the right toys in the garage. red 964. i have been looking for one 3 years. can't find one i like.... not RSA. i want C2.

what are the bikes in the back ground? just got back from tiring 49 miles ride 4500' elevation gain.

btw, when you hang the bikes that way, how do you avoid getting garage wall dirty?

Good ride! Collection of road race bikes race mtb's, cyclco-cross bikes, townies etc. My hangers are pretty basic, 2x4 for rear tire to protect the wall.
