Of course I replaced the factory orange side marker with a pair of smoked ones.

Well, there are a few Riesentoter members here, so maybe we'll run into you some time.

Purchased a 2003 C4S last July. Since then I have had the pleasure of using it as my primary transportation. Put about 10K on it so far. Purchased it with 40k on the clock.
Little bit about the car. 2003 C4S in Cobalt Blue w/Savannah beige and light wood interior. Blue/grey carpeting. 6-speed. Not sure of the complete option list from the factory but it is loaded. Full supple leather, wood trim on just about everything, heated seats w/crest, Navigation, bumper sensor thingies, litronic headlights with washers, Bose stereo, rear wiper and cd changer. It's all pretty much stock except for the add on spoiler and 19" Sevas 3 piece wheels with Toyo tires. Of course I replaced the factory orange side marker with a pair of smoked ones. Coming soon are H&R springs to lower the stance slightly. Was comtemplating a GT-2 style wing but I kinda like the subtle handle spoiler that the PO added on.
I know, I know, pics, pics, pics. I tried to upload the pics but a message appeared about some "security token". Waiting for admin to reply. Maybe someone can tell me what that means?

I'm from the Cherry Hill area, just outside of Philly.
I can attest to the fact that even with the park assist the previous owner had a little trouble in that category. Both bumpers had some nice scratches(since repainted) and the stock wheels had some curb rash. He lived on South St. in Philly, pretty tough to park down there.
The car so far has been pretty awesome. I was actually hoping for a little more snow this year so I could put the car to the test. Even when it did snow the car just drove straight, wouldn't even let me get a little crazy.
It's just been a great experience so far to be lucky enough to own a Porsche(even though if I waited 4-5 months I could have paid $5k less). I have read the posts about car seats and I can speak from experience on that topic as I have both a booster(5yr. old) and a baby seat(2yr. old) taking up space in back. My oldest loves riding in "Daddy's car". He calls it Sally Carrera from the movie Cars. He also thinks he is going to take a girl on a date with it! He's five!
Thanks for all the warm welcomes and I will try to post some better pics tomorrow.

P.S. - not sure if this OT but is any one here a member of the Schattenbaum region of the PCA? I just joined a few months ago.
Dutchie, you are picking my brain. Thinking exactly the same thing.
Never saw a 4S in Cobalt before. Had to be a special order color in '03. Very nice car - a bit too much wood on the interior for my taste, but it all works nicely together. Use it well, and welcome.
Another C4S; Welcome! Interesting rear wing-let. Very 993ish. Use 'Search', and post often.
We need to copy & paste Tim's newbie intro-post text just for these occasions.
Nice car, welcome to RL... This is the first time I see that little T/A wing on the rear deck-lid on a C4S, nice. I was thinking of doing the same on my C2 Cab but now need to wait until I find another job first...
Pete, no offense taken, I stare at my butt all the time.
Malakas, I love the Orient Red, Arena Red is my favorite P-car color but I could not find the car I was looking for in that color.
Here are some more pics.
