I saw that one on the Porsche San Antonio lot just last weekend. Looked nice from what I could tell, and I'm glad to see it (basically) went to a Rennlister!

Looks clean.

Color perfect for someone as busy as me but only hand washes toys.

I cant wait to bring her home.

They will ship it back.

They have a 991 red targa there and thats a nice car. That would be a next addition if I were going to add but kids are getting expensive to raise. I hope i win the lotto.

Its difficult sometimes to keep turns riding sports cars. My ferraris are all 2 seaters so 911 are good for little one and still not compromise handling and size. The kids were all pumped up at pick up, just knowing their mother will drive them on it makes everybody so happy.

there is no substitute.

I drop my kids off at school in it sometimes. My 10yr old still fits well int the back seat. She like "the big arm rest" aka transmission tunnel.

Just curious, how do you attach the kid seats in the back? With the seat belt or is there a iso-fix solution?
