Default Cue the Jefferson's Theme.....

Movin' on up....



First, movin' out, off she goes, the finest Porsche I've ever owned. 2004 C4S Cab, flawless, 20k miles, absolutely a phenomenal ride I've enjoyed from day one:




Next, movin' in! More details to follow:





2009 Turbo Cab, Silver/Dark Nat Grey full leather, 6sp, sport chrono, etc.

Been in the garage all day (dealer) doing a few minor mods. Will post final pics later next week when done along with all the pertinent details.

Many thanks for all of you who provided feedback, advice, opinion, etc.

Special thanks:

Chris Sanner - the guy worked his nuts off for me, just trying to help me in my last ditch effort to secure an '09. Wasn't his sale, but the guy bent over backwards for me.

Rob in Washington - also provided much needed input, advice and guidance with some good info on pricing and available vehicles.

Sharky - I pestered the crap out of him, Cannga and Chris (TT Surg) for advice on pipes. More to come.

Alan Baylis at Wheel Enhancement - a true professional. The guy knows the products, the pros and cons, and was a great ear to hear me out.

CEC/TechArt (goodies to follow)

Champion Motorsport - great guys to talk with who have some amazing cars, really helped me narrow the must have's from the want-to-haves.

Rennsport One - super guys who know the cars, the goodies, and where to find it all.

Porsche of Arlington - true professionals in every sense of the word (David Harris).

InterCity Lines....wow!

Many others....will compose a full detailed story next week. Exhausted now.

Thanks.

Now THAT'S a swap!!!

Ah, yes... the sign of a truly crazed enthusiast... the car just hit terra firma and it goes straight to the garage for the modding process.

Congrats!

Thanks for all the comments!

We went in on Friday for Tubi Exhaust, TechArt Twin Tips, Champion Wheels, etc. Clear Sidemarkers and Silver Crest went on upon delivery. We're in the midst of painting the lower trim (from black to Arctic to match) now, and it should go back on in a few days, then we'll get some shots.

ltc: no luck. Wished I could have sold it locally, as any Porsche enthusiast who had seen the vehicle in person would have appreciated the flawless condition. Dealer offered a decent number for the trade, so it went back to them when the Turbo was delivered. They were actually overly impressed upon receiving the vehicle too.

troll: left the smoking jacket at the house, damn.

First mod: Tubi Exhaust w/TechArt Twin tips:



More pics to follow shortly. Thanks!

Congrats Eric - you will sleep better knowing you got one of the last turbos with the old GT1 based engine. I know I did after I got my 09 tt coupe.
