After searching for the past year I finally found the perfect tt coupe (to me). It's a nicely optioned 08 slate grey over black interior, with plenty of leather upgrades. Even the sport seat backs are wrapped. A little over 2,500 on the odometer. It's getting delivered tomorrow and will post pics after my long drive Upgrading from a C4S. Can't wait to feel the extra power.

Thanks for the kind words. A little disappointed the car didn't show up today From what I was told the truck that was picking her up was in the shop for repair and couldn't make it. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have it. If not I'm flying there Saturday morning and picking the car up myself. It's about a 400 miles away. It will be a great ride home.

Enjoy that new toy! I got mine in wintertime and had to look at it in the garage for several months which was pure torture. This is my first Porsche and prior to buying it had only driven an older 80s 911 non turbo and a 98 boxster. What a car! Its awesome fast especially off the line . All wheel drive rules off the line. Quality of it is top notch and love pretty much everything about it except as many have said the stock exhaust is weak sauce. They should have gone to a dual mode type like cars like the new corvette has. Europipe is on my to do list for winter mods. And possibly a tune as getting used to the power but then have always had some very fast cars in my stable.

I definitely do plan to keep a 911 turbo in all my future stables.

After waiting all afternoon I get a call from the driver saying that I won't be getting my car tonight. Will call me tomorrow morning to give me a time. Now that's torture!! Lol Can't do nothing but wait.
