Got it!!!!!!!!! 2009 997 C2S!

dD/dt · 11-01-2009, 08:53 AM

Picked up Friday afternoon from the dealership (Pepe Porsche in White Plains). It's even more beautiful in person. My two year old son, Gavin, was drawn to the car instantly. I don't know what it is about these things. He never really cared much about the BMW, but I couldn't get him away from the p-car. He sat in the driver's seat for half an hour, while I took these pics, and had a fit when I took him out. Anyway, I guess the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.

Buying the car at Pepe was a great experience also. Gene Centauro, the sales manager, was very straightforward, and didn't play any games. We had a 10 minute discussion to reach an agreement on the price. This was refreshing. (The junior saleschild I got at Manhattan Motorcars gave me a blank stare when I mentioned 'trunk money' and pretended not to know what I was talking about. I guess he didn't get the memo.)

Here are the particulars:
Midnight Blue
Sand Beige
Bose
6-speed manual
Heated seats
Ventilated seats
Nav
Sport Chrono
ipod adaptor
bluetooth
self-dimming mirrors
dynamic cornering lights
wheel cap crests in color
floor mats
power seats

And the pics:

Looks great. Congrats.
BTW, you look a little young to be driving a 911.

Thanks Dave. Finishing residency helped me regain my youthful appearance. Now if only I could reach the pedals.....

Good for you! My youthful appearance never came back. Then again, I was never exactly youthful. Hope you have some nice weather today to go out and play.

Congrats. Very nice car. You look much younger in person. Based on your posts I would have thought you were a bit older.
