Congrats, great looking car. Enjoyed the write-up and it brought back memories when I flew from Oregon to California to pick up my car and the drive home.

congrats!!!!..also did the same at CarMax a couple of years ago after a purchase and it was quick, painless and was offered WAAY more than the dealer (even with the tax benefits). It makes the deal so much easier. Nothing like a clean purchase!

Enjoy !!!

Woot! Getting the fam in the car for the first time and seeing the big smiles is always fun.

Man, I wish I lived in a different state. You just flew down, picked up your car, and drove it back. How awesome. When I got mine out of state it was a pain in the ****! I never got to drive it home like you... sniffle.

Live it up!

goncookoo, at least you are in the same country, I bought my last car (Cayenne Turbo S) sight unseen from Georgia, had to have it trucked to BC Canada and deal with all the import details, now thats a PITA, with our strong dollar a ton of Canadians are buying US cars.

Loved the blow by blow story. Did the same 18 months ago for my 1st 997. Now you just to resist the urge to UPGRADE !

Great car (or instrument) !

Congrats.

Car = like

Shovels & hedge cutters near car = dislike

Beautiful car man! Enjoy it and in good health.

I had a similar experience too, few weeks ago when I picked up my car. As soon as I have some time I will write about my experience too.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and, yes I will be removing all the lawn tools from the wall. They haven't fallen in 8 years, but I'm not taking any chances.

It's only been a few days, but this car continues to amaze me. Can't believe I'm driving this bad boy, but I've been obsessed with the 911 since childhood (and have the late 70s/early 80s books to prove it).

Just yesterday, the temperature was about 60 on the way home from work. Took the back road/scenic route, opened up the sunroof and had the finest commute ever. I could definitely get used to this.

Nothing like giving her a roar in the open road with long stretches of driving filed.
