Picked up the 911 this morning! Amazing drive home, so much to learn and enjoy with this car. Watch collectors would call this an “unboxing “ post, but there’s no box.

That is a perfect 2021 Porsche Carrera (992 3.0L).

I currently own a 2020 Carrera in Agate Grey. Your color is darker?

I'd say no better Porsche 911.

This is the basic black. It was well buffed and ceramic coated so it picks up and reflects the surrounding lighter colors.

I’m very happy with it, after all of one day of ownership.

If I'm interpreting your pics correctly, it looks like you got your winters and are ready to go.

You are correct, TS 860S Continentals on the oem 19/20 Carrera wheels. This was the holdup on picking up the car, it’s 125 miles each way to the dealer, and being Wisconsin it could snow regardless of the forecast :shock:

My edit/correction: "... being Wisconsin it ̶c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ will snow regardless of the forecast..." (I couldn't resist.)

Stay warm and safe!

Looks awesome. Neat and clean black 911 -- a perfect car. :)

What is this snow thing? It doesn't happen here but every ~5 years.

It's best to stay home during a southern snow event. There is no economic event that ever happens.

As I told a friend of mine from Mexico, it’s like what you add to your libations to keep them cold, but it’s less fun as it falls from sky.

Southern snow can be bad- another friend was stuck in ATL for a week, about ten years ago.
