Congratulations Chris. You got a great price for a beautiful car. Ride her in good health. And if the winter is the same as last year you'll be riding her more than you expect.

Chris congrats! That is an awesome car! I had a 997 Carrera with that same interior sans the CF. That CF with Terra Cota rocks!!! 3400 miles.. Amazing...DME readout even more amazing.

Enjoy and don't let this one go!!!! I know you done't believe in a DME flash but are you going to do other mods? Wheels ? Things like that?

That car is a beauty.. Now you have to teach it to be a turbo again...

I introduced it to 6500 this am.
Mods, no other than ipodBT crap, possibly some rims so I can use the stockers for snow.
Option 2; paint the stock wheels black and keep 'em, just get an el cheepo tire rack snow/rim combo.

Oh wow what a find. Congrats Doc! In good health as we say, raising a glass!
Consider that rear emblem in matte black. May pop better on the basalt.
And painting the stock wheels black is a great solution to save some cash until the right wheel or track set comes along...must add spacers, hate the factory offset!
Enjoy enjoy...!

Understand. It's early days though with new toy on the block. The wheels need to go as they really date the car but agree no point going too far on it especially if it's intended as a DD.... plus its a nice package stock anyway. Still think the stock vacuum cleaner is a little hard to take tho....give it time and a few more miles...
