Default Finally found a replacement!!!

Our 997.1 Turbo was totaled back in October and I've been searching for just the right replacement ever since.

With the help of a Rennlister I was able to track this one down and get a deal done on it then waited for it to get shipped here. The car exceeds my expectations it's absolutely immaculate inside and out.

2011 Turbo S
Current mods - GMG Springs, HRE wheels, Sharkwerks bypass pipes

Planned - Cobb AP is sitting in the garage and will go on soon. The Champion intercoolers from my old car will be mounted when the new hose kit gets here then I need to figure out a high flow cat setup or full exhaust to bring it all together.

if your wife has a 997turbo as a 'toy', what the heck do you drive?
