Finally done it
Hello everyone!
Just to let you know that Porsche_lover has become a Porsche owner.
It has been a horrible process (sleepless nights, the issue whether or not I am too young, if it would be accepted by friends and family, ...) but I am relieved that that is over now 
.
I am in love with the Porsche cars for quite some time now and especially since I drove a 911 myself when I was 20.
Some of you will recollect my thread on a 996 (http://www.rennteam.com/forum/thread/20136260/Quick_TC__PSM_question/page1.html), but following RC's advice (and after some extensive additional waiting, i.e. one full month 
), my wife and I bought a 997 Carrera 2.
The car has 65.000 km, official Porsche warranty, BOSE, adaptive sport seats, sunroof, navigation, telephone, sport chrono, heated seats, standard wheels (with colored crest), self-dimming mirrors and some other minor goodies. Colors are seal grey over black. The car was first put on the road in February 2005.
I bought it from the Porsche center where I plan to have the maintenance done and hope not to risk too many things (i.e. exploding engine) with the Porsche warranty. The car got 4 new tires as well as brake pads and discs. The drive is very good and the car is stable on the road. Paint thickness measurement does not show any repaints, so the car should we free of accidents.
It feels like a dream come true and I can't wait (my wife can confirm). For the critics out there, I know it is just a plain vanilla carrera 2, but for the "kid inside" it really is the ultimate car.
Pick-up is scheduled somewhere this week.
And then don't forget to share photos of your adventures in your car 
).
). Furthermore, I feel "sorry" for the guys who buy such a car from new (the wait must be horrible - I needed to wait 2 weeks and it felt like ages, I couldn't even sleep the night before)
