The short wait is gonna be tough... New BS owner

Been a Porsche fanatic (and still am)... but always wanted a big V8 car with muscle, sound, and handling to go with it. CLK63 BS was perfect match. I fell in love with the exhaust of the F1 SLK safety car at the USGP in 2004, and the SLS and Ewagon cars few weeks ago at the 2010 Canadian GP.

Should take delivery next week my new White/Black.

Looking forward to meeting some of the fellow Atlanta-area boarders...

Special thanks to RBYCC, chuck z and others for answering some Qs while I was searching for the right car.

Anyone want to buy a 1-owner 2003 Speed Yellow Boxster S?

It was a tough choice between Black and White... Never saw a Silver or Red in person, but the White was definitely a match for me.

Probably be driving it home later this week or early next.

Anyone know of any other white BS for sale? Looking for something with around 10k on it. Haven't had much luck with finding white ones, given all this demand...

Picked up the car yesterday. This car is absolutely phenomenal on paved highway for such a tight car, AMG seems to have nailed it.

Drove almost 700 miles (all highway unfortunately). Still have about 200 more to go this morning.

Big stupid grin still on my face, I guess 500hp and an amazing exhaust note will do that.

Can't wait to get this car in the twisties.

Where are all these white BS coming from, seems like the last few new buyers have all found white ones. I know the white ones are faster but there must be another reason

Thanks. I love Mars Red too, but never saw a Black Series in person with that color.

I've already got an Imola Red 740 Sport as a daily driver, so I didn't really want another red car.

Mine had 13K+ when I picked it up. I put another 850 miles on it driving it home, and about 200 more on it today. Man this car is addictive!

Gave it a bath tonight for the first time. Wow. Definitely let's hook up sometime. I was up in Jasper today and took Rte 136 back towards Amicalola Falls for a warm-up twisty run.

This beast is going to take some getting used to!
