Thank you. I'm anxious to start enjoying Carpokes. I now have my 3rd 911. It took 18 months to find it. It was in West Palm Beach at the country's largest Porsche dealer. They also sell Rolls Royce, Bugatti, and Bentley. It is 2019, white with blue leather, which is very uncommon, but beautiful. The 1st was a 1990 Baltic blue with dark blue leather. I finally had it completely rebuilt in 2003. The motor was redone and all painted parts were redone with powder coat gloss black, and all stainless was polished. I kidded the shop that the motor looked like a Harley! Then I found my 2nd, a 1999, in Phoenix from a great dealer and drove it home to Dallas. There isn't much to see in west Texas but it a great place to enjoy a 911. Unfortuately I developed sciatica in my left leg and couldn't work the clutch so I turned the car over to 1 of my daughters. Finally I decided I had waited long enough so I started looking for a white with blue and auto trans. The local dealer was no help so I started my own nationwide search. The dealer in WPB was terrific and had THE car I was looking for. I flew down and drove it back to Austin. Another great road trip!

Interesting Porsche bio, for sure! It would be great if you could share more about the new-to-you 2019 911 and post some pics too. I bet the '99 you had all the work done on is also a looker, so pics of that if you wish. :thumbup:

Welcome to Carpokes and thanks for joining!

Welcome aboard! White with blue is uncommon, but very nice. I played around with ordering my white 992 with a blue (or brown) interior, but chickened out and got black (as is my norm). What's the origin of your member name? I was a credit card guy myself for quite a while. :)
