Well gentlemen, after waiting what seemed like a lifetime to go on vacation last month, I finally made it back to Texas and picked up this beauty. And boy, is it pretty amazing to say the least. I hope you all enjoy the pictures!

Odd, seems the seat should return to the previous seating position after you get something out of the back seat. Looks odd that it stayed all the way forward. Make sure the motors are working properly.

Lol dick.

And the seat bases don't move forward when accessing the rear cargo area, the seat back folds forward.

I had to say it.

Also, get an aftermarket shifter. The stock one in my roommate's 997 felt good... until he put in some aftermarket one. Then it felt even gooder.

I'm sure they make a little cushion that has a Porsche logo or something that you can put behind you. Would keep the "little old lady" look down.

Was just thinking what it would look like with KC Flamethrowers, custom paint, and slicks mounted on it. LOL!

I think its funny those cars even have back seats. I am sure they are rendered pointless once your kid hits 5 years old.

I bet they have a latch system back there to right LOL

Would make a nice commuter. Clean. Perfect color combo IMO.

Correct, no latch system in the back "seats." They're reslly not much of seats as the bases are held in via pile and hook aka velcro. You can literally pull them out in one second and nothing looks to be missing. The backs fold down and act as cargo shelves.

Thank you sir! The Guards Red is absolutely stunning.

Beautiful, clean whip. Good luck with it.

Thank you!

I talked to a salesman at an Aston Martin dealer a couple years ago. He said that the foreign companies put the small back seats in for insurance reason. A 2+2 is a lot cheaper than a 2 seater. And apparently a ledge with pads qualifies. Whether this is true or not I don't know. But thought it was interesting.

I've been told the exact same by a friend of mine. Insurance. Which I can believe because full coverage is only $60/month on this 911 compared to the $210/month I was quoted on a C7.
