Default Making a move to this

After a long search it looks like I've found the right match and will be closing the deal tomorrow.

2007 Porsche 911 Turbo with 33K miles. Already creating a mod list. Maybe if I get them on fast enough the wife won't notice the difference

as the owner of an '08 turbo coupe, manual,..i think you're gonna love it!,..we traded a 2010 carrera s coupe in for our turbo,..as i've always wanted to see what all the fuss was about with porsche's 911 turbo,...will say we love the beast!,...only thing that wife and i miss about our "rear-wheel drive" 911 versus the turbo's AWD,..is that if you're used to that very incredible handling and steering that ya get in porsche's rear wheel drive 911's, you'll notice the markedly "numb-er' feel to the steering and handling,..but you won't have a comparison point, being as i take it you're coming fom a vette,...and the 911 turbo is sorta porsches everyday supercar,..seems to do everything very well,..but really nothing[other than straight-line speed] incredibly well,...it's their ultra grand- tourer,...and the racers opt for the gt3's and gt2's,...you will love the car no doubt,..we've loved ours,..and now we're gonna opt for another beast,..vettes zr1,..can't wait!,..wanna try me somethin' different,..and have fallen in love with a friends zr1,..so i gots ta get me one a them puppies!,...but, have NO regrets 'bout havin' our turbo,..enjoy my friend,..and you'll no doubt look better in yours than i do in mine,..that's been the BIGGEST dissapointment of ownership to me!,..hot babes pull up,...eye the car,..get all "hot and bothered",..than get a good gander at me!..[i'm uglier than a bag a hammers!],..and you can VISIBLY see their face sink!,..it's such a drag!,..wish ya better luck in that department!

LOL, thanks for the response.

I've got a Porsche 996 C4S now so I'm used to the AWD. Definitely looking forward to the extra HP of the turbos and the upgraded interior. I'm sure you'll love the brut performance of the ZR1. I hope to get behind the wheel of one of those as well one day.
