I think I take the cake on this one. My 991 S Cab was a bonus from my boss. I'm in the trucking industry and things haven't been exactly peachy when the economy turned south. My boss (the owner of his family business) and a Porschaphile challenged me with a goal and if I hit it, he'd buy me any Porsche I want. That was in 2009 and I hit it this year.

Now I have a beautiful car in my garage and feel like I have to hide it from my co-workers. Problem is my boss is so proud of the achievement, he's telling everybody. In a strange way, I'm not enjoying it as much as I should / could be. Almost as if the chase was better than the catch.

But don't worry, I'm not giving it back....!

That is awesome. With the amount of customizing, I am pretty sure you could have jacked that 991 bill over $500,000. Someone should try this on the configurator.

I really wanted a Turbo, but going with a 997 was not an option. I got a Cab S to $162,xxx and that's what I was going for. Problem is, after test-driving one to make sure I wanted PDK, there was no way I was going to wait 3-5 months for a car.



Hennessy had a nicely equipped car with the right colors, so I went for it. As the sales rep so rightly said, I can now spend my time enjoying the car ILO stressing over colors & options .

Nice, we want more
Do you know if your wheels are more 'flush' than other OEMs without spacers?

Thanks!

Here are a few pics I just received from the week end I spent at Road Atlanta earlier this month. Somehow, the red rims with the 'clean' (meaning no stripes or decals) white car may seem a little weird, but I still like them and they give the car a slightly more aggressive look for the track

Never thought I'd say this, but those wheels look awesome in motion. Red, Black and white. A classis. Enjoy.

Thanks (to you all).
Yes I'll be at C&O on Sunday - do not know yet if I'll be wearing the red, black or OEM wheels
I'll also be at AMP for an Audi DE event the following week end.
See you there maybe!
