Default Got my 550 Today

Well I picked up my car today and I am so glad I got the cocoa brown interior and top. The photos do not do the color justice. It's very rich. With the top down, as dusk approached, it took on an even richer look. (Even though it was in the low 50's, the heat was strong enough so that with a leather jacket, I was warm enough even at highway speeds.)

And driving this thing, this is TOO MUCH fun!

Sorry no photos yet, it was getting too dark by the time I got home. I didn't leave the dealer until about 6:00 pm and spent some quality time driving it.

To those who are still waiting, I know it's hard waiting but belive me, it's definitely worth the wait.

Charlie

PS. I got the BOSE system but I only listened until I left the dealer's parking lot. For the rest of the drive I was way too busy enjoying the sound of this wonderful machinery.

Thumbs up

Congratulations! Now watch all the idiots on the road gravitate towards you. I swear as soon as you get a new car, they come out of the woodwork. I'm still in the hunt for a nice '00-'01 S, I may have been happy with a regular Boxster before I found the Rennlist board

Happy motoring!

Here's a couple. I was hoping to get some with the top down but it got cold and cloudy.





It keeps getting better and better!

Dennis, nice shots. Doesn't it look just gorgeous with the top down? Hey, like that vanity plate too! Yesterday I stopped by the RMV and ordered one too!

Enjoy your car!

Default ..shift ****

..well that would be the so-called short shifter that comes on all 550 SEs.
