Default Greetings from a newbie

Hello from Chicago.....I am finally joining the Porsche family, I'll be buying a CaymanS tomorrow and I cannot wait. I have been a Porsche fan for a long time.

I took the Porsche Sport Driving school in Alabama ( Barber) thisspring and I fell in love with everything Porsche.

I currently own a 2006 M-B SLK55 AMG, A 2005 Subaru WRX Wagon (Stage II upgrade) and I'll be taking delivery of a 2008 VW R32 in 3 weeks, more importantly a CaymanS is about 16 hours away!.

I look forward to learning more from all of the members!!!

Thanks! I did the one day school back in March, it was by far the best manufaturer sponsored school I have ever been to. The group sizes were very small, I think the average was about 6 students per instructor, there was a lot of time on the track and in the various skills sections. I went with my girlfriend (actually it was my Christmas gift to her, she's also a car nut) and she had a great time as well. The facility was incredible, and the track was beautiful. I cannnot recommend it enough.

Welcome. Hope you like the forum. I went to a Jackie Stewart driving school years ago but nothing since.
I've heard good things about the Barber school and plan to look into it myself.
