Default First week with my new to me Targa 4

Happy Friday fellow 911 fans. I've just spent the first complete week with my 997.2 t4 and I absolutely love it. I cannot almost stop driving it and I'm practically making up reasons to take trips .

It's been raining in the Bay Area and I've been splashing through puddles like a kid wearing Wellington boots. I've come to appreciate the fantastic body control and comfort which was an unexpected upside of driving one of these.

I have a company Volvo S60 and driving that after the 911 is like jumping into an appliance.

I just wanted to share that I'm excited to own such an amazing machine and glad to be part of the group . If for some reason you've become immune to the awesomeness of the 911 go and drive a 'normal' car for a few days and get back behind the wheel of your car!

Welcome to the club and enjoy your ride. Yes you are right, drive a normal sedan and the 911 puts you back to why you bought it in the first place!

Agree with the OP. I have been driving my daughters car, an MB C-230 for the past few months while she is in Asia for a semester of study. Long story short, someone crashed into my wife's car, so she is now driving the MB, and I am relegated back to my 997 as a DD. I forget how much I like this car, and find myself looking forward to heading to the golf course or home from work, just for the drive.
