I agree with Rez

So, are you going to be refunded your payments or well or are you calling it even in exchange for wiping the mileage charge?

Yes, flat out exchange. My car, no money out of pocket for miles. Just glad it is over with.

As far as the GT3, I couldn't agree more. Absolutely love that car, especially with all the alcantara and screaming engine. However, a little too raw for me and my limited 2 seat time. I believe I am just going to hold onto my money and get a 2nd year production 991 when they are are out. Should be a fantastic vehicle.

Jason,

Contests on the new truck. I almost ordered a 2011 cayenne s but the lease difference was so great I just couldn't justify the difference. I did like the new interior and fact they put the thing on a big diet, making it 800# less than my 50i.

Post some pics when you get a chance.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Hope it was a knee scope...

Mike

Mike,

Thanks. I had a Niessen Fundoplication done for a fixed hiatal hernia. Pretty much not that terrible, just dietary adjustments and shoulder pain from CO2 insufflation. Been really tired though.

As far as the difference between S and Turbo, I came very close to getting a loaded S. Only problem was finding color and alcantara headliner options.

I agree on the difference on price for the lease, that's why I bought my Turbo. Will pay it off in 2.5 years. Then, hopefully get another.

I absolutely love the build quality on this thing. The air suspension and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control is nice. Wish I could have found a turbo on ground that had Burmester, but all the ones I found were 15k more in silly options (i.e. Carbon Fibre, RSE, etc).

Cool option, or mod, that I am doing are ProClip iPad headrest mounts for RSE option. About 2k cheaper with more possibility than factory. Looks clean too. Will post pics when everything is in and installed. Gonna buy non 3G models as I will be getting a 4G Verizon MiFi as soon as they are available.

Thanks bro. I like that... "Pulled a Brad Pitt". I am going to have to remember that one.

My wife kinda freaked out when I told her that I bought it. She called me at my office and asked what I was doing. Said, "nothing...just bought a Porsche". There were crickets louder than the other end of the phone. She was with her boss and some friends, and the her boss (a really cool guy, have a lot of similar interests) said "He just did it the right way, just bought it. No asking permission, nothing." and started laughing. Made the situation that much harder when she got home.

Funny thing is, now she wants a Panamera in a few years when our kids are bigger and we don't need the space of her incoming R class.

It would be nice to see some pics of your new Beast, if you don't mind ofcourse...
