My 997 Carrera 4S (just picked up)
Hey guys!
Just joined and I sure hope I'm not posting in the wrong forum.
I just picked up my first P-car 2 days ago!
I've always wanted a P-car but I never pulled the trigger until now.
A little background info on me. I live in Beirut, Lebanon and in Montreal as well. I spend most of my time in Beirut due to work but I'm a Canadian at heart.
I've been looking for a new car to replace my 335i convertible, and my friend bought a Carrera 4S. He let me drive it knowing how much I love Porsche and that's what pushed me over the edge and made me say "that's it.. I want a Porsche!".
I went to the dealership to order a new 2S and they told me they already reached their quota for 2011 and that the wait will be around 8-9months if I want a new one. I was upset obviously because I didn't want to wait that long. my 335i had been shipped back to Montreal and I was driving an old Audi I have for too long. She told me that they had a used 4S in excellent condition that would fit my criterias. I was skeptical at first but then I saw it!
It was love at first sight!
It still hasnt sunk in that this is my car..
PS: the plate is banged up because they are transit plates because it takes time to register the car.
PPS: it is a used Porsche with only 9,000kms on it.. Please don't hate on me because I didn't get a new one :P
I eventually want to put 911 in the back but I haven't decided if I should put it in red, black or silver.. I'm leaning towards clean silver!
sorry for the long post!
I still have a smile on my face and I'm super perky since I picked it up

Love love love that interior. Looks amazing and Im usually not a carbon fiber fan. You car looks great. Maybe do the 911 in yellow to bring out the calipers and gauge faces? Will definatly look unique

Plan to mod at all? Curious your plans... Keeping the car stock is a great choice but modding and making the car unique is also a great path to take...

a great addition, well spec'd car!

I've had a lot of bad mojo in the past with modding where it caused more garage visits than tolerable... The car is plenty fast as it is and I'm faster than let's say 98% of cars on the road?
i have the PSE, short shifter, PCCB.. I don't really know what else I can add and we don't have any real tracks around here and the cops are cracking down on speeding a lot!
we have drag strips though.. but not too interested in that anymore.. I like handling more than power

have to agree
have to agree..... and completely understand what your saying..The car looks amazing just as it is.... although have seen a few 997.2's with an added front chin spoiler that looked slick ...
again nice ride and that car has everything!
