Default Got her back FL all the way down from Toronto

18 hours the first day and the rest the following day all flying Solo. Thank God for Waze App and the Valentine One combo . 1800 Miles later the car has arrived. Got the AppRadio 4 installed and window tint so far. Next step is trying to straighten a bent rear wheel, Then H&R springs and spacers. Then on to paint correction and wax. Wife and kids are loving the car too.
Only 24,000 Orig miles .

Any issues with rock chips on the front bumper or hood? I may also be making a long haul next week. Thanks

So nice to be back in a P-Car. Had an 00', 01' and an 06' Carrera S. All GT3 Clones. Adding the AppRadio 4 totally brought the car up to todays tech. Really pleased with it. Here's a few more pics.

No issues with Rock chips Tony, I just stay far away from dump trucks and haulers. When they go over a bump thats when trouble starts. Roads are really clear this time of year. Lots of rain and very little bugs. In fact in all those miles there were barely any bugs on the windshield. I had originally planned to haul the car on an open trailer car hauler, That is until I found out the undercarriage could be severely damaged. I read a review of the same carrier I was going to use and they tore an guys exhaust off on an 04 Carrera! then refused to fix it. So I cancelled my return flight and huffed it back myself. Both times I bough new 911's I took a rock in the middle of the bonnet on the way home from the dealer, I'm not even kidding. So I learned a big lesson about keeping distance from trucks lol.

Shawn, just curious... so you bought the car in Toronto? What was the reason for that?

Beautiful car by the way. Mine is very similar. Same rims. But that's not seal grey is it?

Its the newest dual Din radio from Pioneer. 6.5 inch screen with Carplay .
The new system designed by Apple going into allot of manufactures cars incl Ferrari in the near future.

The car has sentimental value. My mother purchased it after she saw my 2000 Coupe. She fell in love with the car and picked one out she loved in Toronto. She only drove it around 1500 miles per year, Only in the summer really and around town, had it for 15 years and developed glaucoma in one of her eyes pretty bad. When se contemplated selling it I swooped in because I wanted to keep it. Mainly because she owned it.

Color is Slate Grey

Did you install the AppRadio yourself? Curious if the trim was included or was special ordered. Everything looks like it belongs, not like an add-on.
