Default My New to me 997 Turbo

Sorry about the repetitions, I've been struggling a bit editing my posts...
Anyway here she is, a 2010 997 Turbo 6 speed manual. It took much less time than I expected and what a car. I just drove it back from Miami to LA and I'll never forget this road trip. After 4 years in LA I will finally go explore the mountain roads now that I have a car to really enjoy the twisties. I hope to meet some of you guys out there !

Very nice color... No Turbo emblem in the rear? My favorite part is the emblem, makes the other drivers sh#t in their pants lol...

I missed the emblem at first but as soon as someone is getting too close and I step on it, I think they get the point lol. With so many people tailgating I get lots of opportunities. Since it's a Porsche they obviously expect us to move it, I'm happy to oblige.

I picked up the car on a Wednesday afternoon and had to be back by Saturday morning so I couldn't make any detours (although I got back Friday night so I had a little leeway). The drive was still amazing. Roads in Louisiana were pretty rough and driving through the night in Texas seeing all the dead deers on the side of the road was a bit stressful but all in all a wonderful road trip.

I knew they were rare but I didn't know that, how long have you had yours ?
Does anybody knows the total production number ? It's just curiosity, I will never sell this car ! People always says that but I just can't let go my cars, and over my dead body for this one lol
