Pulled the Trigger 2012 TTS inside

I have been going back and fourth on this car. The test drive is what did me in. I traded my beloved Audi R8 in on a new 2012 911 TTS. The Audi was a great car, and I will miss the car. However, the power that this car has is amazing. I am going to take it easy for a while during break in. But I expect this car will surpass my expectations.

A few quick photos.







A funny pic of her next to my wifes Beetle. They share the same DNA... Kinda.... ( my old Taurus SHO is not at this house often, but she got in for the garage shot, lol )

Beautiful car. Enjoy in good health. Any special interior options? I just bought a TTS a few weeks ago and I am looking for excuses to run an errand. Now go get some clear side markers!

BTW one of the managers at my local Porsche Audi dealership, as we walked past an R8 to take delivery of my new TTS, and I commented how I was also considering an R8, said that no no, those with an R8 want to be, but those with a TTS are..........thought that was funny although I'm not sure if it is true.

My R8 was blacked out, and the 911 will be no different. Currently I only have 105 miles on it. I plan to learn the car a little and then cut down on my ability to see out of it... lol.

The plate is due to the fact that everyone thinks I am in the Mob due to my car collection, house, etc... That and I am 32.

My wifes blacked out Escalade ESV reads MOB WIFE

Thanks for the notes guys, I appreciate it.

Oh yea, the clear side markers just showed up... The HRE Wheels will be here in a month.

Congrats. Who makes the auto lift? Also, how tall is the total setup with the two cars? (need to measure one for my house).

Congrants on the car!

Can I ask you what brand of lifts do you have and how convenient is it? Is it a breeze to take the car on and off?
My dad is going to renovate and I think this is a great solution.
