@beitodesstrafe , my wife says your green one is the most beautiful color she's ever seen on a auto - and she's pretty opinionated about colors. |

It really is an amazing color, but a little hard to nail down exactly what color it is. It kinda shifts around. ![]() I generally don't even like green, and was a little, wtf? When my partner ordered it in green, but she had seen the color on a Panamera in Finland, and told me to trust her. She was right. |

I figured I may as well get new hardware and bulbs too, so I’m still waiting on a couple things. Hopefully I can get it done this week because it’s been great driving weather and I’m having withdrawals. |

Agreed. It’s a fantastic combo. Thanks! I do agree. I prefer a tan interior with a lot of colors. But, white and tan gets the crown fo me. Just returned from a glorious 2.5 drive on NE PA back roads. Beautiful greens emerging. Many had the same idea... I found plenty of safe places to have some fun. Dusted a few over zealous ricers here and there too! Man these cars are fun! Exceeds my expectations every time s get behind the wheel. |

Looking for an entry level car https://www.fawsittmotors.com/listing/2009-porsche-911-997-2-c4s-coupe/ Looks like a good build. Nothing jumps out at me for features. The 2009 did not have IMS issues, so the only thing I can think of would be potential bore scoring. Division: PCNA Commission #: 676621 Prod Month: 2008-08-01 VIN: WP0AB29919S720548 Price: $112,135.00 Exterior: Meteor Grey Metallic Interior: Black Full Leather Warranty Start: January 31, 2009 BASE 911 Carrera 4S 030 PASM Sports Suspension 250 Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) 267 Self Dimming Mirrors 619 Bluetooth Phone Interface 640 Sport Chrono Package Plus 672 Navigation Module for PCM 680 Bose High End Sound Package 686 XM Radio 762 PAG Code - Launch code 810 Floor Mats in Interior Color 870 Universal Audio Interface 9Q Meteor Grey Metallic AT Black Full Leather P03 Sport Bucket Seats ETA - okay, I should have looked at the pics before posting, but saw someone's comments about carbon seats. First, I'm not sure if the seats are stock - I'd have to search for 997.2 bucket seats to be sure. Second, the build doesn't mention aerokit and I don't see a nose splitter so the wing was almost certainly added after purchase. If it creates any real downforce, without the additional splitter up front you do have a risk of the nose getting light at speed. If you don't every go over 90, you'll probably never notice it. |

I’ll never (never say never, I know) take my car to the track. I did so much door handle to door handle racing on dirt ovals that a track day where I’d have to be cleared to drive at certain levels and have to get waved by etc would bore me to tears. I just like the way the car feels to drive it, even just putting it around. I’ll go find a twisty road here and there when I can because it’s fun but a lot of people would say that a GT3 is wasted in me. Fuck it, don’t care. If it makes you smile, then it’s not a waste. Your car is so good looking that I’d imagine a good bit of the enjoyment is looking at it after a wash or just bumming around in the garage. Nothing wasteful about that at all, IMHO. |

It took a while to admit, but my Cayman is a souvenir. Its first 3,000 km were driven in the Alps, its home turf, with all the twists, turns, climbs, descents, de-restricted speed zones, and glorious vistas. It makes infinite sense there and delivers a truly superior, satisfying experience. I'd say 75% of my satisfaction with Porsche is tied up in my two European Delivery experiences. Another 5% in their above-and-beyond engineering, 5% in the customization, 5% in the racing school classes, and the rest in day-to-day use and other ownership facets. Was my Cayman experience worth $95,000.00 and 5 weeks off? With all the shit I did, yes, without question. Do I need this car in my American life? Hell no, but I own it. It's interesting how much you change when you get what you want. |

The con is no amount of normal life driving here measures up to that experience. COVID royally fucked travel by crushing destinations worldwide.
