Welcome, nice example you have there, love the guards red turbos! As a former engineer myself, you will learn to appreciate the engineering example that is the 997 platform.

Thank you and it's not exactly an F-22 or F-35 platform but the 997 platform ain't bad...and yes I retired from Lockheed Martin, after 32 years.

997 TT is the middle ground of old and new. Makes it perfect especially for an new porsche owner.

Yeah, but when I drive around, I feel like I am piloting the F-16 of cars!

Welcome, nice ride!

Congrat's on the 997TT. Check those tire codes as well. Mine were good, but 7 Yrs old. One of the worst things on these cars is old tires.

Great looking car. Hope you enjoy it!...

Great color. Were you considering other colors or only red? It's a color that people love on this car, especially me.
