FINALLY
As you can see, I'm more of lurker than a poster but a long time Porsche enthusiast none the less. As an intro, I considered telling you guys all about wanting a Turbo forever and how every time I got close something would derail my plans. Fortunately, I chose not to bore you with my life story and just tell you about the car instead.
I followed the two (used) Porsche buying rules:
1. Buy as new as one can afford.
I don't like debt/payments, so that meant an '09 for me.
2. CPO !!!! Done; good through 2014.
The first couple pics are at the dealer where I found her. The next one is rolling off the transporter after a 2000 mile trip. I am very happy with Go 2 Transportation. They beat the other two companies by several hundred dollars and gave me a top/front load at no extra charge for being a new customer. Excellent service 'nuff said. 4th pic is my older two kids challenging their Mother and younger sister to a drag race. Last one is a crappy cell phone pic of the car in her new home. (Previous owner routed compressed air lines above all bays. It's one of my favorite features of the house.)
Finally, the specs:
Performance--Sport Chrono Plus
Rear locking diff.
PCCB
Pilot Sport Cups with TPMS
Sport short throw shifter
Comfort/Convenience--XM Radio
Heated and Cooled seats
Thicker Sport steering wheel
Autodim mirrors
PCM voice control (option or std?)
Universal audio adapter
Aesthetics--Black/Black
Clear side markers
All red tail lenses
Rims in exterior color
Silver dial faces
Clear bra over front half of car.
Lightly tinted glass
I am glad to finally become a "member" of this forum.

A few more
Thanks for the kind words. Here are a few more pics of much better quality. They were taken by my wife, the photographer in the family.
