Hello friends!

New guy in-bound. Recommended from a member over at 718forum. Was looking for a pre-owned 718 for 5 or so years but living in the DC area it was absurd to acquire. After relocating, and the news broke about the 982s will be the final dance for the ICE machine, I had to pull the trigger if I ever wanted to own a new Porsche. Now or never.

Welcome to Carpokes and thanks for the photo. This is the first time I’ve seen the white stripe on a blue Cayman. It’s stunning!

Beautiful 718 - congratulations!! The wait was long but I have a feeling the end result has made it all worthwhile!

It's a game-changer. The deletion of the door decals, adding the Style Edition white vinyl on Shark Blue with the silver wheels, and the SportDesign package put everything together. I only wish I was able to order the Racing Yellow calipers to go with the racing yellow gauges, (soon to be) Mode selector, and seat belts. Perhaps in the near future!

Sure! I'll take better interior photos when I get the racing yellow mode knob! Carbon fiber steering wheel and Shift knob, illuminated door sills, aluminum pedals, crests head rests. The usual.

Hello- I am interested in getting into the Porsche experience. I have been looking at the 2015-2019 Turbo models. I have in the past owned Corvettes ,Vipers, Cobras and Shelbys. Took a ride in a Porsche 911 and was hooked ! Look forward to meeting and learning from this forum. Thank You.- Melvin
