Default It's here

I got a surprise call from the driver. Instead of Wednseday delivery, he is here now

Took it for a quick spin before heading home and I loved it!!! I just have to get use to the clutch. I'm trying to disengage the clutch before pressing on the gas, but that is a little difficult to get use to.

Here is a couple of pics:

Beautiful car, congratulations again!

It's a little counter-intuitive, but trust the auto-throttle to get rolling. You don't want to have to replace the clutch.

Thanks Brian....How do you get it going on a hill without pressing the gas? I had a real hard time getting up the driveway.

Marvelous. Looks showroom new.
And a nice looking duck tail sitting in the transporter.
Good to see a properly transported Carrera GT (on the elevator tail gate roll-on, roll-off.)

Looks great in yellow...clutch takes a few days to figure out. Once you master it the car is sublime. Great buy IMHO these cars will continue to go up in value.

I can't stop going into the garage. It's so beautiful just sitting there. Porsche did a magnificent job on the design, and I still think it looks good 10 years later.

Question, don't have my manuals yet. Once you plug the battery tender in what setting should it be on. Should be on the on position or the icon that shows the car?

Beautiful Car! Looks so good in Yellow. Car icon is right one for your charger.

I drove mine 260 miles through the arizona desert yesterday. High mountain canyons, open top, and 84 degrees. Its like dying and going to heaven!

Look forward to hearing your driving impressions.
