Finally grabbed a 971.2

I bought from Porsche Riverside. They were good to deal with and reasonable during negotiations. They had paperwork streamlined. I was in and out in 2.5 hours.
Driving back up via Reno is awesome, mostly. Next time I would stay on 97 all the way up to 82 in toppenish. I5 from Eugene to Renton can apply a vacuum to my Johnson.
it has ppf back to the doors so didn’t worry about damage. The drive back gave me time to understand the vehicle’s functions and capabilities. It eats highway miles very well. For going as far as I can in one day I’ll take it over my ram 3500.
For multi day interstate work it’s still the megacab diesel on 37s.

Thanks man, this really helps. I'm working with Beverly Hills Porsche and they've been pretty good so far. Planning on making a trip down to handle everything in person within a week or so. If I do decide to drive it up then ppf is definitely a necessity. Any reason why you went through Reno and not straight up the I-5 or the coast?
it’s also how we run to Baja usually so I know the way and have some spots. Yoly’s Taqueria in Victorville is great 😊

Coast would be nice but slow. I5 is boring as watching paint dry. Going through Reno (from riverside) adds about 45 minutes to the drive before factoring on any traffic in la or sf. The drive from about Mono lake uo through Susanville and to Klamath falls OR is awesome with good pavement, twists, few cars.

Gorgeous car, congratulations!
I have just started my search and I'm curious if there are significant differences in the .1 and .2? I found a 2020 that I love but it's a .1 car and I've read that .2 cars are better.
Any thoughts would be helpful!!
