Looking good Jimmy.

 

definitely would not be agreeable to the way I drive

 

I ordered the car with heated seats (P11 was not available and it hurts my back) and I never got them...the dealer didn't even bother to try to correct it (it is not my local dealer). I also didn't get a GT4 manual - I got a base Cayman manual...and am still waiting to receive a "real" manual.

Just be happy you got the car!

FWI - My Dealer enabled the G Force and Rev meter will no problems

Well - lets say that I told their Tech Dept that if they could enable I would buy lunch. They made it happen and I had over $200 worth of pizza and goodies delivered to the Dealership. They were pumped and they all thanked me and could not do enough asking me for what ever I would like done.

 

I would like to add that although it is premature because I need some quality time in her - but my initial gut is that I will need to put on a valveless sport exhaust to extract the sound/volume that I want. It is certainly a little tame but new exhausts do get a little better with some seat/break in time .

 

Some updated photos after being cleaned by Dealer

 

Man that looks awesome! Love the yellow calipers under the black wheels- great contrast!

 

Well,

I am back in Chicago now and at 6:30 am my CR GT4 will be delivered to my house. Trucker is arriving around 11:00 tonight and is staying close by for AM delivery. I am very excited and forget about getting much work accomplished tomorrow. I got robbed with my 991 GT3 delivery because it sat at the port for 5 months, awaiting an engine replacement, and when it did show up at Dealer and I picked it up - I was not excited but more very cautious and some what stand off-ish

Tomorrow is my official Porsche day- I brought this home to my 6.5 year old to review and he has not put it down( Dealer saved it for me). He is so excited that it makes be happy.

 

those calipers look so good with carmine I may have to paint mine yellow

 

Awesome! That's been one of the best and most surprising things about owning this car -- sharing the fun with my girl. She loves the car more than I thought she would - she loves it so much I got her own. Whenever I'm out in the garage cleaning the car, she'll grab her microfiber towel and Windex and clean her little car. It's ridiculously cute.

 

I love that you are involving your daughter! Bravo!

My love of cars was instilled in me by my Dad. Neither of my sisters caught the "bug" - but I've loved cars since I can remember. Dad had several cool, fun cars and it was something we had in common. When I was in college he had a '72 red Alpha spider. He let me take it to college! I ended up returning it after a semester - I didn't really have time to enjoy it and I was paranoid that something would happen to it (door ding in the awful parking lot). But it was awesome that Dad trusted me with his "fun" car (which of course was a stick).

I know plenty of Dads who only invite their sons to be involved, and they assume girls won't "get it". Of course some won't but it's great that your daughter wants to share this with you (and you with her).

Luv the father/daughter photo!

 

That's so adorable! At least get her waterless car wash

 

That is a great story and advice(hidden). I only have one child and if he would of been a her - I still would of done all the Guy things with her.

 

Thanks! I don't understand why anyone wouldn't want to share the love with their kids - boy or girl. But everyone is different, so I don't judge.

As it is, my daughter has already picked out a 911 cabrio in Sapphire Blue, so I might be asking for trouble, haha.

lol...poor thing with her windex. She's looks like she's squeegeeing cars at a stop light.

 

Lots of love for CR!
