Just beautiful. Enjoy it. If you're ever near Philly hit me up. Would love to go for a spin.
As a SITK (single income 3 kids) my hope is to one day own a toy.
My youngest starts first grade in public school so a nice big chunk of money will be freed up from private kindergarten come Sept. Oh wait almost forgot about the $15,000 summer camp bill.
at least I can still feed my horologic need.

SIOK (single income one kid) here.
I definitely would not be able to afford my car hobby with multiple kids. Personally, I'd rather have more kids.....but am enjoying my cars.
Back on topic, those are great pics of the new baby. How about a video clip?

Awesome, awesome pick up but God it must be killing you to let your new baby sit there all dirty. Im pulling for good weather for you so you can spend some quality time cleaning her up.
Edit - just went back to drool some more over the pics, I am very jealous but have some stupid, i could pick up a clean S2K for the same money, sparkly thing for the gf in my near future to buy
Enjoy and more pics!

DIOKSTBTK (Dual Income One Kid Soon To Be Two Kids) <-- Just made that Acronym up. 
My days of trying to secure a toy are done for at least the next 5 or 6 years, but I appreciate the DINKs or SINKs because I'd definitely have a convertible or muscle car sitting in the garage if I were one. I guess I'll just have to live vicariously through you no-kids folks

I have a new top ordered and will have that done next month sometime when it comes in.
I'm getting new tires installed once they come in. I have an Alpine that i'm waiting to get the harness for. There are wheelwell liners on order and en route. A few other odds and ends are ordered also.
I cleaned the yellowed headlights which took a good 3-4 hours, but they look much better.
I wasn't going to remove the bumper to clean the radiators but i figured what the hell and this is what i found. It wasn't as bad as the boxster was.
Tomorrow i'll put the wheels back on so i can roll it out of the garage and hose off the front.

Good choice on keeping the 4Runner & getting the YOLO car instead. You will not regret this decision.

This is something that i will drive as often as possible. I still haven't gotten the balls to drive it in the rain. But, i really hate cleaning these wheels so that's another reason i won't drive it much in the rain or winter.
The htrz III tires really are nice but it takes about 5 miles for them to get up to pressure and for them to become round again. When it sits for a week or two the ride is rough from the tires flat spotting from sitting. The ps2's did not do that, buit for $1000 less, it's something i will deal with.
It is a blast to drive and it's quick but in the future i want a TT once i pay this one off.

Thank you for the new pics. That looks clean for 86.3k miles.
My first thought seeing those pics compared to the pre-clean pics, was "hell yeah!".
I'd drive that every day for a while, as given the miles on it you are not going to be keeping it for a Barrett-Jackson sale.
My V has difficult to clean wheels, too. I get around it by using Armor-All wheel protectant. It keeps the dirt and brake dust off for about two weeks. It's the only Armor-All product I will publicly admit to using because it is so good. It's this stuff:
but you can buy it locally at your favorite car parts store.

^ i definitely bought it to drive it. I think once the newness wears off, i'll drive it a bit more.
I didn't want a garage queen but something that was driven and have the po spend a lot of money doing maintenance.
I'll look into that armor all at wally world tomorrow.

but you can buy it locally at your favorite car parts store.

I don't know if that's a good thing or not.
But as nice as that 911 is, I'm sure that Mr. Allison is going to spend a good bit of time keeping it clean after all that driving
