Default Back in a Porsche

Having previously owned a 986 and a 997S I am happy to be back in a 981S. I test drove a 987 with Carrera Red as my 997S had and remembered just how much I loved the feel and the look of it. I also test drove a PDK the same weekend and feel like it was time to make that switch too. I love a manual and own and track a 2008 Roush Trak Pak that has a Tremec 5 speed but I fell in love with this new technology and feel like it is time as my wife and I age and travel.

Nice. If your gonna travel in a 987/981/982 platform, Boxster is the way to go.

Beautiful combo. I particularly like the red top especially when paired with silver (looks like GT Silver)?
I'd also had a 986s which I really liked...the 981 is different but very good also. PDK is great...I was torn when I got mine. Also like your Raptor / Mustang combo. Good taste all around ;-)
