Suggestion
After spending some time on the Ferrari boards, where they're all talking about polishing their previous polish job and checking relative humidity to see if they can take the car around the block, he decided to stick with a real car and a real car-owner group.

Suggestion
Since you are going to be in Oregon, you might as well take advantage of their zero state sales tax, and pick up a few other things, such as the water pump, which probably could use a replacement due to age and the plastic impeller.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Bought my 996 in December and promptly put her to bed for the winter. Hope to get her out next week, as the snow gradually melts here in Central Alberta.
Visited the Porsche factory in 1986 as a young man and swore one day I would own one, and just before Christmas 2012 it happened.

Don't have major mods planned, only some minor ones and no performance related ones.
Did the iPod cable add and have a Kuda mount on the way. Other than that looking at the spoiler switch relocate & garage door switch integration.
I might put some new rims on and have that debate daily with myself.
Anyways when I was looking, reading this forum was a wealth of information!
( trying to post from ipad, hope the picture attaches )
Congrats and welcome. That would suck, buying one and having to lock it up for the winter (I'm in Florida, so that idea is foreign to me anyway). Great looking car, enjoy!
DS
It is tough to look at the Porsche and motorcycles locked up in the garage & then the foot of snow in my yard.
The roads should be clear enough I hope by Easter at the latest.
welcome. nice car. enioy. tough being in a northern climate. bought mine in january and still in storage. hoping to get it out in late March but more snow later this week.
Nice car! I don't think you really "need" to do anything but drive it.
Of course the time you spend on here is proportional to the amount of money you'll spend on your car. Sometimes(most of the time) on silly frivolous stuff you could do without.
Congrats as well -nice looking car. I've had my Artic Silver '99 C2 since December 2011 but since I'm from LA (Lower Alabama) there was no need to hide it away for the winter when we picked it up. Right now you say no mods but given enough time I suspect you will give in.
By the way where in Alberta are you from? I used to live in Edmonton and Calgary so I know all about the cold and snow. We moved down here about 15 years ago and love it. Have not shoveled any snow since
Thanks for all the compliments and comments.
Not sure why they would put the damn thing in the footwell. I will tackle end of April, start of May. Local dealer wanted $90 for switch! Will be in Portland mid-April and Sunset can get it to me for $30. ( Another great RL tip I learned about Sunset ). Like to support local but really? 3 times the cost and that's with my member 'discount'.
Especially considering there are blanks on the dash! You are right about the dealers too, I've found net prices lower. If I do mine before then I'll let you know how it goes.
Local Porsche dealer wanted $72 for a pair of wiper blades! I didn't even bother asking if that's before or after our 13% tax.....
Since you are going to be in Oregon, you might as well take advantage of their zero state sales tax, and pick up a few other things, such as the water pump, which probably could use a replacement due to age and the plastic impeller.
Actually I wouldn't need the wiper blades if I owned a Ferrari, 'cause the car would never see a drop of rain, and I would be proud of how little I drove my Ferrari when talking with other Ferrari owners of the like!
Welcome to Rennlist and to Porsche ownership (both are two-syllable words, by the way). Love the silver, that's my second favorite behind black (which my C2 Cab is).
As for Ferrari, I have a friend and long-time Porsche-phile who recently contemplated buying a 458. After spending some time on the Ferrari boards, where they're all talking about polishing their previous polish job and checking relative humidity to see if they can take the car around the block, he decided to stick with a real car and a real car-owner group. (He's buying a 991 S, I believe.)
Welcome aboard, might be a little optimistic when it comes to the snow melting in Alberta any time soon, especially looking through the window at the moment (i wanna vomit). Looks like a really nice specimen. Congrats on the buy, and maybe we'll see you in the spring if you are around Edmonton. Cheers!
Congrats on the purchase Freakhead !! I love the aerokit, would love a few more pictures. I would also consider a
LED Lighting Kit
. Hopefully spring is right around the corner, this year it seems to be dragging
It was Soooooo tempting to take the car out yesterday, but back to winter today... Calgary, +10 degrees C yesterday, -14 by saturday. my first winter with my Porsche, and i have already learned not to look under the cover except when doing work on the car. perhaps i will get winter wheels and tyres for next winter....
Yes, many arguements going on inside my head. black ice, rock chips, salt, ice chunks from other vehicles, etc, etc. but to drive year-round would be so many more smiles.
Not true. Even though I do enjoy my Porsche year round, that doesn't mean every owner should do the same. I love going up to the White Mtns. to ski, but when I drive my 99' coupe, I have as much fun driving there as I do when I get there.
