Default New GTA Owner!

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself. Have been reading the boards for a few months now and just recently bought a CPO 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 from Downtown Porsche a couple weeks ago. Have been too busy driving it to get around to posting. The exterior is meteor gray metallic with cocoa special full leather interior. It had a mileage of 24,000 km and is a Tiptronic S as my wife does not know how to drive standard. I plan on using it as a daily driver, have already put ~1000 km on it since getting it! It also has heated seats for winter and Bose surround sound. Got the 3M clear bra full hood, bumper, front fenders and side mirrors.

Have always wanted a Porsche since I was a kid and my father introduced them to me. It has rekindled the joy in driving and I am loving every single minute, even commuting in traffic! Hope to meet some fellow owners in the GTA. I work Saturdays so I doubt that I can make it to the Sat GTGs but maybe can make it to one of the Friday night gelato meet. Also will be joining PCA so I may go to one of their events.

As is custom, please find a few pictures of my new ride.

Hope to see you around.

Nice color combo. Enjoy in good health. And welcome.


P.S. Put that spoiler down. It's meant to increase downforce, but only when the car is moving fast. It will deploy and retract automatically.

Yes it increases downforce...and without the speed, it just increases chances that people with try to force you to put it down!

Thanks everyone! Glad to be here. Just wanted to reassure everyone that I don't drive around with the spoiler up. When I took that picture, I was just testing it to see that it worked and wanted to see what it looked like!

Due to popular request, please find attached a couple more pictures of my cocoa full special leather interior. What do you guys think?

@polar3 - No, I was not at that Tim Hortons Plaza you mentioned.
