Picked up a '13 991S

Hi guys,

I finally decided to rejoin the Porsche community after a brief affair with some British and Italian models.

Traded in my '06 Ferrari F430 Spider (manual) and grabbed the exact spec car I wanted.

2013 Aqua Blue, tan interior, PDK, premium pack, PSE, SPASM, SC, ornamental crest and a few others.

Interestingly enough, the car has a rather famous previous owner - Derek Bell!

I love it so far, nice to finally buy a car and not settle on the color/spec that I wanted. I've already ordered the clear side markers and plan on getting tints + wheels painted in satin platinum.

Here's a quick pic of the old car the Porsche replaced.

Love the 991. But also love the Ferrari (especially in manual). The latter is a dream that will never be fulfilled, at least in a new car.

Sweet ride! And I like that driveway. Are the bricks a maintenance issue with weeds and stuff growing up between them?

No, I live in the Orlando area but drove down to get this car.

That's exactly why I jumped on the opportunity of owning one when I did. The Ferrari was an exceptionally fun car to own, especially in such a bright color. Once you've owned a Ferrari though, you'll never dream of calling a Porsche repair anything other than inexpensive and reasonable!

Thanks

The driveway can be a pain at times, I just pressure washed it and have a few weeds in it now but I'm going to put some more sand in there to solve that. Roundup once a month takes care of most of it though.
