If anyone in the Nor. Cal. area is interested in meeting up and doing a drive through the mountains I'm game. I'll be in the bay area through Wednesday.
Saturday I'll be Flintworks getting a Car Care Service Done. They are in Campbell, don't know if you want to go there...but it's across the bridge from Fremont and south a bit. Would love to check out your car. I'll be there at 9:30am.

True, but I'd rather buy a car that was actually driven then one that hasn't had the kinks worked out.

Congrats on the new beauty! Whenever I read these "just bought a...." threads, it makes me want to get another one! If Apple stock keeps going up, I might just do that!

Enjoy that car when it arrives.

So I've just been informed that the car just got rear ended... so yeah. The sale is definitely not happening. Time to start the search all over again.

They said they took the car to a local Porsche dealership to have it serviced and got rear ended on the way back.

Chalk it up to karma. Something better is out there waiting.
