Hello!

I've been lurking on the forums for a while and recently purchased a used 2017 Macan GTS. I am enjoying driving my first Porsche!

@ TheMuffinMan91:

- Welcome to the forum. Where do you hail from?

- Nice car. Enjoy.

- Don't let @Jellybean see this thread, or she may pine for her recently totaled red GTS.

wspollack,

I'm located in NW Ohio. Any other forum members in that area? I see lots of members are on the east/west coast.
Appreciate the positive vibes on the forum.
Haha, I'll try not to emphasize how mesmerizing the red can be...

Enjoy! And welcome. You made an excellent choice... but I’m biased...

Watch your speed, the red can be mesmerizing to cops, too!

(but I do still love the Macan in red just the same)

Honestly, this is my first red car and I'm always paranoid about cops but the car demands to be driven. That sweet turbo spool.

Beautiful car

I need to look into getting a set of bumper plugs for the front plate holes.

I'm in the Cleveland area. My Macan Turbo just landed today. If you're ever in my neck of the woods, feel free to shoot me a message.

I think you should make a road trip. If you do cross the north part of our state of Washington there is SR route 20. Embrazen this onto your GPS. It was a fairly recent road opened in 1972. It was designed by a guy that owned a Ducati. It is best at Ducati speeds between 5th and 6th gear at 5,500 RPM. In other words just right for a Cobb modified Macan.

Wow that drive seems amazing, it’s definitely on my list of road trips.

Thanks! Actually, it’s a third vehicle for me and my wife. Our garage consists of a 2016 S4, 2017 Macan GTS, and a 2018 M2.

A nice collection of rides! How difficult is it to decide which one to drive?
