Default Just got her (997.1 RS)!

I'm really new to RL so my apologies if this post came out bad.

Excited to share as this is my newest Pcar. Sold my 993 2S and 996 4S due to family formation. I think this makes up for it...

Waited 2 weeks to get her shipped from DC to LA. Arrived on rig with a dead battery. Took 2 hours to figure out the particulars - tried to charge up the battery but didn't work. Had to ultimately call AAA to get a jump. Consolation prize was that the rig was carrying an original GT500 and a blue Singer (tired to sneak a peak but driver wouldn't let me look under the cover...respect).

Anyway, here are pics of the new car. Weather has been bad as of late, so will try to load up some better one in the near future.

Looking forward to many miles!

Congrats on the pick up. I'll be selling some GT2 bucket seats that you may want to pick up for the beast since you are local.

Yes another .1rs in SoCal! You better drive iT. If that's the one that was listed here a few weeks ago and sold in minutes you have no guilt due to the price it listed at :-) nice pickup!

I knew there was a reason the car sold for 100k. Upside down steering wheel = a car with stories.

Looks good. Black painted interior pieces seem nice.
