Hi everybody,
Pulled the trigger!!
31 year old, very successful marketing consultant, still it was a big decision, and a very expensive one. I could afford it, but it'd definitely be on the expense of some other things in my life, at least for a while... But hey, if this is a mistake, it'd be the most sweet mistake I've even done
I used to have a Cayman S 2009, I owned it 2nd hand during the period from Jul 2010, until last month, when I sold it at a minor loss who some believe to actually be a gain.. Still, I wasn't as happy as I should be, as I only sold it to get rid of it before the new shape comes out. I loved the car, way too much to do it, but I did.
I couldn't convince myself to buy any other car but a Porsche... yet, this time it can't be another Cayman... My son is now 4 years old, and he since my job requires lots of traveling, I'd most likely need to take him & the wife out during weekend, hence the need for the extra seats!
I've driven the Carrera S 991 for a test drive. To be honest, Cayman S is MUCH MORE FUN to drive, but still, the spirit is there...
Couldn't afford the S with the options I want as a must, so I ordered a Carrera, with the following options:
- Chrono-package (had it in the Cayman, loved it, and it comes with extra features in the 991 which could help compensate the less power vs. the S).
- Sport exhaust (I've always hated the low noise Porsche cars make, this fixes that for sure, a must in my opinion).
- PDK
- Glass sunroof
- 20 inch Carrera S wheels Painted in platinum (a must)
- Some other luxurious/ comfort/ cool features
Color I've chosen is Basalt Black... 90% of that decision is driven by the following:
- I HAVE TO have the interior Carrera red. Had it in the Cayman, LOVED IT, STILL LOVE IT, can't imagine riding any other interior color!
- Like white, but my Cayman was white.... it'd feel really boring to have the same exterior + interior color combinations again in my new car, wouldn't it?!
Now, what other exterior colors work with red interior? mmmmmmmmmmm
I still have a week or two to catch & change if you guys have any recos
Appreciated, and pleased to join
