Default Rejoined the group 09 997S

Hey guys,
Rejoining the 997 crew... bought another 997.2S ... had a blue 997.2 base in 2018 that had bbs CHR, techart springs and Fister exhaust..
Cant believe how much these things went up my base 997.2 in 2017 was $38k lol! this new to me 997.2S has all the options i want , also has sharkwerks bypass and PSE
yes iim aware of the rattling lol!! anyways took it to Fuel Run Vegas already with some super cars held its own out there waiting for more pics but here it is..
Its not CPO and Fidelity changed the cutoff to 2010.. then 2011 next year .. so looking for alternative extended warranty just in case.. have good experience with Fidelity.. car has 46k miles.

Nice. If it's a manual transmission car, I wouldn't worry about the warranty and put that money into a separate account and by the time you need to fix something, you'll have the money in there to do it or in reality, a nice Christmas club account. When you do need a part, get it from FCP Euro and you'll never have to buy that part again, even if it's a wear item like plugs and coil packs, even brake pads, rotors, etc but I don't use their guarantee for those - just don't feel right about it).

I return oil/etc. I commend your morals, sadly I have none. However I can sin without guilt, so it’s not all bad

And if someone doesn’t sin didn’t Jesus die for nothing?

I’m disappointed that Fidelity has a 10 year limit. I was happy that they paid for my PDK fix a few months before my policy ended and was not renewable.
worth it if you have PDK, not so sure with a manual tranny.
