On a serious note, be sure to do a thorough inspection and test drive of the car before you take possession. I'm sure you already know all of this but a pre-owned sports car may have had a driver that beat it to heck and back. Make sure the mechanicals are all good as well the body. Pay special attention to the tires. If they are overly worn push for a new set from the dealer (if you are buying it from a dealer). Good tires are a must for sports cars (again, I'm sure you know this).

I know these things but am glad you wrote it all out. All the random screaming in excitement has my brain forgetting the practical stuff! Anything else you can think of, please let me know. I count on the ka-tet to keep me straight.

Got back last night from my little trip.
I had to drive five hours to get there, but I was privileged to drive the five hours back in my Porsche!

Wow, I love this car! I still feel like I'm living in a dream, but there it was, in my driveway this morning! So I guess it's real...


I will try to post pictures when I get home!
