My advice: Don't be afraid to drive it hard, it was designed for it. Keep at least $2K in reserve for unplanned repairs so you don't have to sell your kidney's on eBay when the clutch goes out. Change the oil often. Try a track day if you can - you will be astonished with the car's true capabilities. Have fun and continue to live the dream.

Spank it to thank it

Cheers guys,

My friend told me there are two types of Porsche owners; polishers, and drivers. I think I'm a bit of both!

I'm going to really put her to work over the next few months and then see how it goes!

The only thing I've noticed is my brakes feel like they 'lock' a little bit if I have to slam them on, although I'm using as much engine breaking as possible. Could be that the pads need a change but they look good.

She will accompany me to my friends wedding in the morning, Hugh Grant eat your heart out
