Thanks again for the kind words. I appreciate the all compliments. Here's a little feedback for anyone in a Porsche thinking about getting a Gallardo (I know there are a lot of you out there now that 04-05 G's can be had around 100k)

I've been on a few drives now and it's quickly becoming and addiction. I love the power and the sound and the overall driving experience. My favorite part is starting up the car, my least favorite is having to turn it off. The G is so much louder and meaner it makes the 997 seem quiet. The seating position is extremely low compared to the 997. I feel like a 4' old asian lady trying to see over the steering wheel of an '88 Camry. I'm getting used to it...

Going from a 6 speed manual on the 997 to an egear I was worried that I would feel like a passenger not the driver. There's something about shifting on the egear (and the F1 on a 430) that keeps you entirely engaged with the car. The fast shift, the sound, and the jerk you feel is completely different from my old 986 Boxster (tiptronic). The downshift blip-- my god, it's priceless. When the traffic light turns yellow, I secretly get excited about downshifting. If you haven't heard it, check it out on youtube, it still doesn't do it any justice.

Anyway, I'm gushing like a high school girl after prom but I need to share it with someone, honestly I'm afraid to show some of my friends-- they don't even know I got the car. lol

OH NO YOU DIDNT! LOL

Awesome man. The 997S is one helluva car...but your right...this thing is just on another level. The SL looks great in black too. Nicely done.

Congrats and enjoy it!!!

Thanks! Everyone needs a goal. I'm in the business of helping people save money. As you can see, I like to lead by example.

Hey Brando! Yes i've seen Ron's it's really nice, I love that graphite color, it's even more rare than a black one. For sure we'll get together, at the very least we'll do Caffeine and Octane in a couple weeks. We'll have to finish that race on that closed course we found.
