Default Now I’ve done it!


Sisters
Just purchased a 2013 for my wife, her dream car. It was so sweet, I surprised her with it and she was so excited/happy that she cried for 10 minutes, or so it seemed. Her first words after she realized it was for her were “it’s so beautiful “.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I had my two boys with me (10 and 13) and they loved the surprise as well. I am looking forward to the fun times ahead.

The best kind of a world is a world where people randomly buy Porsches for other people. Nice!!

This is how it starts. You will drive it a few times and enjoy the ability to just blast through broken pavement, over railroad tracks and speed bumps and never again worry about curbs, angled driveways or parking sleepers. You will finally feel confident to just pull across the highway median or drive off the interstate across the grassy strip to the access road when traffic backs up (routine here in TX). Home Depot and Costco runs become routine. You become the first one to volunteer to drive a group of folks. You will also be able to take every turn at supralegal speeds, shoot up onramps and win every stoplight race. Pretty soon you start choosing the truck over the car because it’s more comfortable, convenient, useful and keeps miles off the 4S. At some point you realize the battery is dead on the car because you haven’t driven it. Then you start wondering whether you should get yourself a Cayenne or just get your wife a Macan...

You may be right, time will tell. I took the Cayenne instead of the C4S for some routine errands and tested out sport mode. Mind you this is a 6 and it certainly had plenty of grunt and oh so comfortable. Looking forward to more “errands “.
