The carfax report on mine indicates that the steering wheel has been replaced. I understand that the alcantera wears very quickly. If that happens to mine, I'll probably end up getting a regular leather wrapped one.

A six speed would have been nice, but I have a feeling my girlfriend is gonna want to borrow it.

I've already mapped out some of the mods I'll be doing... (dark tint, LED tail lights, de-ambering, M3 Side Mirrors, and so forth.)

Regarding the steering wheel, last time we were at a family get together I noticed my brother in law putting on driving gloves before leaving. I chuckled but I guess it makes sense, to each his own.

It's here!

This car was located in Springfield, MO. I flew up Tuesday afternoon and drove it right back home.

It's been too long since I've driven a Porsche because this thing feels pretty tight. (BMWs are much more impressive when you don't drive them back to back with a Porsche -ha!)

Behold...





Tomorrow she goes in for window tint.

I think I shall call her Beverly, "Beverly Cruise" or "Beverly the Bimmer."

Like the new ride!
Let me know if you want to swing by the casa and show it off.
You are always welcome to take my boxster out for a quick spin if you start to miss it any.
