With the official confirmation of my allocation for a 992 S cabriolet in Gentian Blue, I’ve decided to change my Avatar to celebrate the occasion. It’s not as much the picture that I received on MY Porsche app with the order confirmation but the caption behind it:

“A dream comes true”

For a long time Porsche enthusiast but a first time 911 owner, it says it all!

Doobie, I’m thinking you’ll love it in any color! Is it Friday yet!!!!!!!

FIVE (5) sleeps before Friday Bobby! Hang in there. And you’re right, the 911 looks good in any color. Especially in GT Silver with a red top. 👍 Your dream came true!

 

[BobbyG]

Thank you and I couldn’t agree more! Heres me saying goodbye to my Boxster on Saturday….out with the old and in with the new!

I know the feeling . What year was the Boxster ? Miles ? Are they going to CPO it ?

 

[BobbyG]

Boxster is 2014 with 33K on the clock, bought it for my 50th for 51K getting 46K for it. I don't know how the CPO stuff works but its based on age and mileage???

Age/mileage/ condition . Thats a great used car . They can CPO a car up to 10 years . Whoever buys it gets two years of extended warranty . They will probably try and see it in the mid to upper 50's with the CPO . It costs them 3K to so they re in at 49K

That’s what I was thinking. Mid 50s. Next owner will get an extremely nice car.

Not an S. 55 degrees today so top down after lunch and liquor store run. Need plenty of Woodford on hand for Friday.

I traded my s in 2017 . I got 33K for it. They sold it for 57. Amazing how these cars going up in value. 718 four-cylinder was just that much of a disappointment. GTS and Spyder are too expensive so that middle price point has just been amazing for the 981. I loved my boxster . At 28K miles on it.

If I had more room I would’ve kept it but then again I don’t want to take care of two vehicles. After I test drove a automatic 992 I was hooked immediately.

I know the feeling. I once asked someone who had a car collection what it was like . He replied “you can only drive one at a time and they all break”. You made a good move and you’ll find that in the new car.

Stunning color combo!!! Just got a call from my SA for Carrera cab fall delivery. Opting for same exterior colors and wheels. Curious as to what you selected for interior-I am torn between all Bordeaux Red and BR w/black dash/trim.

Bobby is just too excited (who wouldn't be?). Here are pics of the 2 tone red/black interior he already shared. He might have some more.

I have so many pictures today but I’m still bonding with it!

Champagne was flowing and why not get a matching watch!
