Default First Post, First Porsche! -delivery video

I got my 2009 997.2 C2S on monday 11/16. I am so excited!! I've been wanting a Porsche for years all the while debating multiple models, new vs used. I had the dealer swap the classic wheels for Carerra S II wheels w/ colored crests. I wouldnt have ordered XM radio, 6disc changer or seat ventilation but otherwise its my dream build.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBdlP...&feature=email
Here's a video of it getting delivered. That night it snowed. so it was few days before I drove it.

Here's my option list

541 - Seat Ventilation
405 - 19" Carrera Classic Wheel
870 - Universal Audio Interface
810 - Floor Mats in Interior Color
693 - 6-Disc CD/DVD Changer
686 - XM Radio
P17 - PASM Sports Suspension Package
672 - Navigation Module for PCM
635 - Parking Assist System
619 - Bluetooth Phone Interface
342 - Heated Front Seats
P15 - Pwr Comfort Seats w/Driver Mem
680 - Bose High End Sound Package

Sometime tomorrow I'll post some pics & driving impressions. I finally took it out today. What a blast. This 2000 mile break in period is going to kill me.

What a dream Get the new 911 delivered and a snow storm!!!
You will love the ventilated seats. In the summer its great not to get out with a WetBack, and I AM hispanic!!! The XM is great for driving in non radio areas. 6 speed CD? good on resale so you didnt lose out with any of your optional optional items. HOWEVER great color choice!!!! Congrats again!

Yeah, what a way to make a splash! That has to be the best first post evah!

Car looks simply awesome in black with black interior.

Thanks for sharing that family moment with your daughter. You can tell she just loves it, except for the cold seats.

Btw, to embed a youtube vid, simply place everything after the first equals sign between these tags: [ y t ] code [/ y t ] except without the spaces like this. Or simply follow the instructions here: https://rennlist.com/forums/rennlist...in-a-post.html

That clinches it: my next p-car (as well as my next girlfriend) will be black inside and out.

Congratulations dude! Beautiful car.

I held my breath when the dirver opened the door to get in and then again when he drove it down the ramp. Do you think they could make those ramps a teeny bit wider?

Great colors and option list. Must have been a great moment for you!
I waited a long time to get my first 911 ( 82 SC ), and even though it was an old- timer, picking it up and driving it home was a thrill I won't forget. Kept going into the garage for days and pinching myself too. Enjoy it when the weather decides to cooperate!

Great car! I'm sure everyone here can relate to the thrill of delivery of your first Porsche.
