Default I stepped up - 2012 997TTS - GT Silver/Black

Well I went a good bit past where I was looking, but figured, I only get one chance on the Merry-Go-Round and might as well enjoy it.
I know I'll miss my 6MT 996TT, but I think the new ride will keep me smiling as well. I'm stoked.

-2012 997TTS, GT Silver / Black, Europipe Exhaust, Heads Up Displayed Passport detector, PDK, 31K miles. Otherwise Stock.
-Full service history at Porsche dealer, 2 owners, and the day I purchased it was given an "intermediate service" (Oil / Filter, Brake System Flush / Fill, etc), Four brand new tires and 4-wheel alignment.
-Clear bra on front, hood, fenders, roof (to the sunroof).

Nice looking specimen, and in the "right" colors! (just my opinion). Enjoy!

What did you put on those nice center lock rims as far as new rubber?

(Just wondering as I recently pulled the trigger on four Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's for my 997 TT and hopefully I made the right choice)

Beautiful car.

ENJOY Big Swole!!!

Some pics from today just before the new owner came to pick up my 996TT. Raining out and both are dirty, but Oh Well. I had to document actually owning TWO Turbos, at least for a day or two. lol

ENJOY Big Swole!!!
They are Michelin's..Whatever the previous owner approved to be installed. I would guess Pilot super sports but I don't think 4S's. You would think I would have looked closer but was just so glad to have brand new tires at someone else's expense, it didn't matter. lol

ON EDIT: They are PS2's
