So I've had my MSM for 5 years. Love the car but I was getting restless. I put the MSM up for sale and quite a few people asked me what I was replacing it with... well... here she is.

I actually have decided to keep the MSM for now as well. I'm just too attached to her and really not ready to sell her yet. She's a beautiful car that I enjoy very much. So she now gets to hang out with her new German sister.

I usually take photos of a new car quite quickly but with the weather here lately, I just couldn't get around to it. These aren't the best I could do, but I don't have time to take her out for a real shoot right now.

So.... behold.... the white beast

Well, the wheel is tilt AND telescoping so after 5 years in a Miata, I'm a bit enamored with it :lol: It moves all over the damn place! It's actually very nice and thick and comfortable. It's a small car so it looks bigger than it is in real life.

Wheels are next. I like the wheels on it but I need to personalize it just a little.

<--- serious face...You crazy! Lol.

Those wheels are some of the nicest OEM wheels I've seen in a while.

Ugh. I can only imagine what it'll look like a tad bit lower.

I wonder what the reasoning for the left hand ignition switch was.

Nice car! Love the interior.

Porsche tradition. I'm not sure that every single Porsche ever made is like that, but every one I've ever paid attention to. (I should know though, I've been to the Porsche Museum... amazing btw)

It goes from the old days of racing when drivers would run to the car and then start it up. They could start with the left hand and shift into gear with the right, saving precious seconds.
