I turned 60 last month, and decided it was time to own another small roadster (my last one being a 66 MGB over 30 years ago.) And since that time, I've become a Porsche fan, so this little beauty really fit the bill.
I found this one on Hemming's auction site, and it's a 2009 Thunder Ranch. Needless to say, the seller committed several omissions, so it's been a process getting it back into driving shape. I wasn't expecting this, but I've really had fun in doing so. And, in the few times I've queried folks on here, everyone has been extremely helpful -- thanks for that, y'all.
When purchased, it had Panamericana livery applied, which I promptly removed. I'm going to install more traditional white ball/black number decals, as the mustard yellow stuff wasn't doing it for me. 
I also removed the sun-faded badges, and installed new ones in the proper locations, including adding the "Spyder" script on both sides that were not installed to begin with.
The list of completed tasks is long, and it seems that the list that's left is even longer. Next up on the high priority list is remedying the idle not staying steady after adjustment, and then repairing the transmission. My Porsche mechanic adjusted the shifter and linkage, and while he made it better, it's still a pot of molasses to shift and doesn't go into neutral, even after I've parked it and moved the shifter back and forth, clearly being "neutral." My research tells me the next things to look at for this are the clutch and the transmission itself.
Thanks for the welcome, y'all -- I'm thrilled to be here.
