That was great man... You got me laughing in the middle of the night...

First things first, you have to get the center console painted! It completely changes the inside of the car I did it in my Arctic silver and looks amazing!

Do we have pix of the XME option?

Hardly boring. Very nice car, with all the features and options you need. And if you want, just add the nav and sat radio packages at the dealer.

Color combination might be a bit common and overdone but it is that great that folks keep coming back to it.

Enjoy the car.

Yes I do, but I had the center console painted after I purchased the car.

You can also see the Red Seat Belts, Red Stitching on the Seats, Gt3 Alcantara Steering Wheel and Alcantara Shifter

Thanks, that red stitching and the seat belts really pop, but in a subtle, not overdone way. How about scratching of the console......any problem?

Thanks, I wanted to make the interior a little sportier No problems on the console, the paint job is pretty good. But I chipped the paint on the rear ashtray part while I was putting one of the wheels in the rear seats... It's not so visible, so I didn't do anything about it.

Stu (I think that is your name), congratulations on your new car. Based on the description of the 07 Meteor Gray 997S with Turbo Wheels you listed in one of your posts describing your new car, I think the 07 was my car. You and I talked about it when you were getting ready to buy it from Roy at Leith Porsche. I hope you enjoyed it for the short period of time you had it.

I am still enjoying my 08 997S that I got from Roy when I traded my 07 Meteor Gray car to him. Can you tell much difference in the 09 engine? I was a little scared of getting the new engine the first year out, but so far, I have not heard of any major issues.

Thanks All....for the comments! I'm really enjoying the car, but with just under 800 miles on the odo and tons of rainy days I'm itching to get past the 2K mark and really see what she'll do.

Hey Gerald!!! Small World!

Yes, I enjoyed *your* '07 very much for the few months I owned it. I had no plans whatsoever of parting with it as it was a beautifully maintained car with great options, but I was across the street from Leith Porsche having my Jetta serviced and that 1.9% financing post card from Porsche kind of crept in to my thoughts so I wandered up the hill to the Porsche lot.

They didn't have any '09 C2S Coupes on the lot at all, but within 30 minutes Charlie (Roy was out sick) had found the exact car I really wanted (other than not having XM and NAV) at a dealership in G'Boro.

They allowed me on trade what I had paid for the '07 and came off the '09 about 18% so I just couldn't possibly say no!

Hope you are enjoying your new ride!
