Absolutely love p-cars. Congrats. I'm a little envious. Not really, I don't do envy. Congrats again.

That is one hot ride!! I would be afraid to take it out of the garage for fear of a stone chip, or some idiot cutting in front of me throwing up road debris on my perfect car. Good luck and enjoy!

congrats on the purchase. I had one for about 3 months before getting rid of it.

1 thing from former owner to owner. On those turbos it's all wheel drive so if you get a flat tire you'll be in a world of pain. In the trunk they have that tire sealant + pump up air canister, MAKE SURE IT'S THERE. I got a flat tire and mine was gone (thank you porsche, you bloody *BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPING* *BEEPS*).

So i called porsche roadside and when it came, it didn't have the air canister thing and the spares it carried could NOT be put on my car it would screw up the all-wheel drive system. They don't carry spares for Turbos in the back of the cayenne because the guy told me frankly that turbos are rare.

So then i waited for a tow truck. You'll find out how low and long that nose is. Don't worry, the bottom part below the nose is reattachable.

Other than that it's a fun car. It pulls past 150 no problem
