Default New arrival

My 2016 Turbo S was simply too much car for me. It was just a question of time before I lost my license or my life.

Just picked up this low mileage 2017 CPO 911 yesterday. It was a beautiful sunny day here yesterday which made for a great “top down” drive home. This is my first Porsche cabriolet and I’m impressed with how quiet it is.

I’d love to see more pictures of the Porsche.

I test drove a 911 Turbo S and came up with the conclusion that it was way too much car (for now). Scary fast...

I ended up with a 2011 Carrera S cabriolet which is “just right”
