Very nice Steve -- and I too love the color you chose.

Too bad some like to rain on others parade.



Best Sir,

Bob

Awesome always toyed with getting one of these after owning a Cayman. Found the front trunk in that perfectly usable for day to day use.

That’s some kind of life to simplify with a Porsche! Congrats.

You won't regret making that decision. Everything is simpler with a Porsche in the garage

David the trunk is in front. The back seat holds stuff and the last flat I had was when I was a junior in high school. And that my friend was a long, long time ago.

Congrats. Very nice looking.

I also sold my Corvette to buy my first Porsche after my 15 yo son told me to get rid of the Corvette before I turned into a Q-tip. After seeing the puzzled look on my face he then added, "White hair and white shoes."

^^^ I know what you mean. Going to Corvette events was like going to AARP meetings.

Funny. I’ve never heard the Q-tip line before. So, now I’m watching the Seahawks/Falcons game and there it is. Pete Carroll with his white hair and white sneakers. A gum chewing Q-tip. Now I’m ruined. I’ll think about that line every time from now on.
