Bought a 911 carrera

[the_edge]

I *love* it.

This is the first car I actually have to learn how to use all of its electronics and stuff though.

It feels much softer than the 997, less jumpy, less harsh, but I feel it corners even better.

Congrats. I guess I won't be owning one of those until the kid is out of his car seat...

Year? Pics?

What year was your 997?

[Talon]

Pix or it didn't happen.

Good for you for being able to buy one. Shame on you for getting a tan interior.

[ryguy79]

Also, those pics suck.

Tan just seems out of place to me. But what do I know? I can't afford one (though we probably could without 2 in daycare).

Whoa. Nice car man. The 911 has always been one of my favorites. What's the exterior color?

What pushed you to get rid of the 997 after a couple years? Besides the obvious benefits of a newer car, better performance, etc.

I loved the tan interior in my Eclipse. It had black "highlights" around the gauges, radio, vents, etc. Looks sweet.

Nice car, Rod. Was never insinuating you didn't have it... just wanted to see pics.

I haven't bought a new car in seven years. (My Subaru was a year old when I bought it.) Then again, haven't had a car payment in five.

Hoping to drive my Subaru into the ground (hell, it's an 07 and only has 54k miles on it) and the Evo is still around (~41k). The goal is to have my house paid off in like 10 years... then maybe I can buy a car that's equal to a mortgage payment.

Congrats Rod, I hope you saved a lot of money so you can spend some extra on photography lessons.
