Let's share - Show off time >>>

Since there seems to be a bunch of newbs coming on every week. Let's create the ultimate - "Show off your 911 photo thread." Here is what is required. A brief history about you (so everyone gets to know you), your car and you need to supply a photo of some kind. Since I am creating this mess...here's me / mine: Mine: 1999 Carrera 2 - Artic Silver / Black 25K miles Me: 5+ years with the PCA (various regions due to relocations). Chicago was the first. Been with Rennlist for about the same amount of time. In fact, I designed the Rennlist Forums site logo. (just ask John). Grease monkey at heart, track adict and all around car guy. This is my 4th P-car and I absolutely love it. Stay tuned - More to come. Past fun cars: 1998 BMW M3 - Homebuilt Clubsport edition 2001 Audi TT Coupe 225Q - Fun but boring 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo S. The one I should not have sold. 1994 Porsche 968 - Great tourer 1988 Porsche 944 T - The "hard lesson learned" car.

Sweet thread

And who are you? C.

Here's mine. I'm 33 years old, Egyptian origin, born in Toronto, lived all over the world, a lot of time in Marin county and Orange County California. Currently living in Dubai working in Marketing for a big FMCG multinational, been here 4 months, was in Switzerland prior. Was enjoying the car till the rms leaks began, only done 5,000km on it and it's been fixed twice, currently at the dealer to see if I get a new engine. Still love it though

Here's mine. The #45 Porsche 996 campaigned by Autometrics Motorsports in the Grand-Am Cup Series, driven by Cory Friedman and myself, Brian Bailey. Sponsor inquiries welcome.

I think you need assistance with your descriptions: 1998 BMW M3 - WTF was I thinking? Thank god that breadbox is gone. 2001 Audi TT Coupe 225Q - I flunked hairdresser school. 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo S. Why did I sell? 1994 Porsche 968 - I'll get in my car and take a nap now. 1988 Porsche 944 T - Why did I buy? Gee should I list mine? Ho-kay. Porschephile member, Porschelist member, Rennlist member, too many members, looking for a fun car now. 1990 BMW 525i slushbox - 0-60 sometime next week 1983 Porsche 928S - dogs were afraid to pee on it 2000 Dodge Dakota V8 - mah gun-toter 1973 Porsche 914 Turbo - Why did I sell? 1973 Porsche 914 track car - money pit...but holy crap what a blast to drive 1979 Porsche 911SC - Why oh why in the name of all that's German did I sell? I'll spare the list of Japanese sports cars to keep the post short.

That's one shweeeeet looking machine BBailey! Tell us more about it please!

BBailey - If you ever need help with Racing graphic design. Let me know. I designed these for the Speed GT Touring series: Bimmerworld Racing A little hobby of mine. C. Edit: Pic

FWIW Chad has done a lot of race cars and the more he does, the more toys he can buy and the more cross-country trips I can help him with.

What would you like to know? Races in the Grand-Am Cup Series which is a support series of the Grand-Am Rolex series. The CUP series is for essentially street stock cars with minimal engine modifications. Competitors in the Grand Sport class that the 996 races in include the new 2005 Ford Mustang, the BMW M3, Audi S4, Cadillac CTS-V, and Acura NSX among others. Autometrics Motorsports in Charleston, SC built the car and could tell you much more about it than I could. I just own it and drive with Cory in the series. ;-) But I'll share what I know. Before I start, I really should commend Autometrics on the fine job they did putting her together. Anyone thinking of building a racecar should definitely have them high on the list of potential shops they might use. Shocks are Triple Adjustable Motons. Cage is a custom job done by someone local to their shop in Charleston (wish I had a close-up of it, its really quite impressive). Most of the car is modeled after the GT3 Cup Car and if you didn't know better, looking inside of it, you might think it was an early Cup car. Engine is more or less stock, save for some slight ECU tweeking. Though I will say it sounds absolutely awesome. Autometrics did a custom center exit exhaust much like the current Cup Cars have and it sounds terrific. Wish I had a sound file I could post online, definitely music to one's hears to hear her screaming in 5th gear at 7400 RPM's on the banking at Daytona. Wheels are 17 inch Fikse FM-10's wrapped with spec Hoosier tires specific to the CUP series. Series mandates tires size and the 996 is allowed to run 245's up front and 275's in the rear. If you want to know anything else, ask away. If I can't answer it, Cory checks the forums occassionally also and might chime in with the answer.

PS - Deep in the process of sponsor hunting at the moment, so if anyone out there in Rennlist land would like their company's name on a car that is likely to get quite a bit of time on the SPEEDtv broadcasts this year, drop me a line. Rates are very, very reasonable compared to what many others in the series are charging today. And, in my totally biased opinion, you'd have your name on one of the best looking cars in the series this year.

The race car is cool, but the thread has diverged, was looking forward to seeing more member cars and getting to know people more. Can y'all discuss it in another thread please.

Come back to Toronto Rhamy. The weather is worse, the roads are terrible and traffic is enough to make you want to kill yourself. Why would you want to stay in your little paradise? There are plenty of Porsche drivers to get to know here.

Here is my 02 C4S. I live in the Denver Area. This is my second PCar. I love it! I have a Techart front coming soon for it

Okay, I�m one of the N00bs on this site, I�m 41, lived in various countries around the planet, a Virgo, enjoy long walks on the beach, watching sunsets, things with wheels that go fast, and um yes I�m an engineer. I�ve attached a couple of pics of some of my current toys. The Carrera is my second P-car, the first being a �00 Boxster and my other ride is an �03 530i which, thankfully, was one of the last months production of the �classic� styling � no whyDrive for me thanks. In 17,000 miles the Beemers already had a secondary air pump, steering rack and gear, and various headlamps replaced under warranty. I�m hoping Porsche�s low cost supply chain is better than BMW�s, but time will tell.

Mike from Hillsborough, NC (chapel hill). Purchased my 01 C4 cab in October after being without a Porsche for 1 year. Previous car was a 968cab, which I regretfully sold. Married without kids (yet, wife's got the bug). Anyone interested in a drive in my neck of the woods, let me know... Seal Grey Supple Leather Adv Technic Sport Designs seat crests rain sensor --in need of good performance and interior mods...

This is my old Porsche. I sold it about a month ago . I plan on getting a new 997 . I've been a Rennlist member for about 6 months. I live in Southern California and I'm an engineer.

Welcome doods! Keep 'em come in! Chad

Eric here. 31, married, no kids (workin' on it). First P-car was the Boxster in 99. Cay TT came last Nov, C4 cab two months ago. I am an Army Reserve Officer currently mobilized at CENTCOM in FL. Spent all of 03 in the desert fighting a war. When I am not called up, I work for the #1 PC (and technology) company in the world :-) Originally from MA, live in KY now (but here in FL till May, tough job, but someone had to do it). Also have a liking for Bimmers. Got the new 5 this Mar (Euro Delivery).

No matter how many Porsche I see, I still love these threads. You guys have some great cars. I'm the CIO for a finance company in the twin cities. Here are pics of my two p-cars. I also have a RR 4.6 HSE that's a little unique in that it has a lift kit and oversized tires. Go figure. The 996 is a 99 that has been updated to club race as a 2004. It has a 3.6L X51 with LSD. The suspension is Moton dual adjustable with monoballs etc. The wheels are Jongbloeds. The v2.0 on the side is a joke that grew out of the fact that I completely destroyed it at the end of the 2003 season at Road America. (another driver's error) Now it's better than ever. We had a great time at VIR last fall sharing the weekend with the GrandAm cars. Talk about a bunch a beatiful 996 to drool over. They are very similar to what we race in PCA. The 993 is just for cruising.

I've posted these pictures before but I'll upload 'em again. I'm 35 and live in Houston. I'm married with two children, both girls. I'm a management consultant. Hobbies include: Motorsport (esp. F1, I'm a big McLaren fan), books (my degree is in English), playing with my Children, and wasting time in online forums I'll share a little about how I bought my car... I've been wanting a Porsche since I was about 7 years old. My uncle was a Porsche salesman for a while during the late 70s and I fell in love with the 911. When the Boxster came out I considered getting one but a two seater wasn't practical for my family of four. My previous car was an '03 Saab 93 Convertible (which is a pretty fun little car). The water pump was leaking so I took it to the dealer to have it replaced. Since the job was going to take the better part of a day I left the car and took a loaner. Later that day my wife and I went back to the dealership to collect the Saab. They weren't quite done so while I waited she went and had a browse on the lot. She came in and told me there was a Porsche on the lot. Now this woman has put up with my constant talk about buying a Porsche the whole time we've been married (11.5 years) and was pretty sick of the whole thing. She also loved the Saab so when she told me to take it for a test drive I was pretty surprised. I took it for a spin and really liked it. It was clean, no dings, good paint, etc. Still, I didn't think she'd go for it. Then she took it for a drive. That pretty much sealed the deal. One carfax and mechanical inspection later I was an owner! After a month in the car the only things I'm planning to chage are the Becker stereo (which is just shameful) and the wheel bolts (which are rusty and shameful). That said, I'm afraid of catching the "mod virus" which I hear is quite contagious. Probably more than y'all wanted to know... Tim

Here is my 1999 C4 on the day I bought it 2 years ago. My first and only P-Car. The second photo is my garage/shop.

Welcome all new folks. All: Beautiful cars. Keep 'em coming. Moderator: Any way to "sticky" this thread for a little while! Chad

I'm 55, born and raised in Munich (which explains my tag), have lived in the NYC area for the past 30+ years. Married, with 3 boys (two are little). Cars are my passion. I've owned 34 since college, starting with my '57 XK140 roadster, I'm on Porsche #8 (other car is BMW #9 '02 745Li). I work on Wall Street. Last fun car was '01 M5. Here is my '04 C4S cab:

Hi, my name's Jim and I'm from Conecticut. I have a 97 993 twin with a few goodies

Jim, AWESOME 993TT. Fantastic car. C.

Kewl! Am enjoying seeing all these cars and finding about about such a diverse group of people from all over the world, untited by a common love for Porsches

Yes, this is a very diverse group of people from many places. What I find interesting is just how many people have moved around so much. What's the weather like in Dubai today?

I'm 30 living in Denver. This is my first P-car. It is a 99 C2 with 25,000 miles. I have had it about one year. I wish I could drive it more, but I need a truck most of the time.

OMG is right!! He's neked!!! Oh...I'm 36...and a woman. Edit - Okay, I'm not really quite 36, but I will be, too soon in fact. But, close enough to just say I'm 36...it's just easier...although, that isn't so good, I wouldn't want to prematurely age myself...oh hell...nevermind, I'm 35...at the moment.

I'm 40 (wish I could remember 35-36, Robyn!), Taurus, enjoy romatic walks on the beach and am open to... OOPS- wrong forum! I'm married with two wonderful young kids (boy and girl). My son is already a full-dledged Porschephile and is able to identify the specific model at 100 yards. Not bad for a four-year old! Now only if I could get him to memorize the planets... 2000 Carrera C2; Slate Grey (great color) with Boxster Red full leather interior + lots of carbon. Great combo. Just noticed an oil leak that must have started last weekend; too soon to tell if it is RMS (taking to dealership next week). Great car! Owned many fun cars over the years, and am considering a GT3 in the next year or so... Maybe a Pepper for my wife...

This thread reads like something from a Porsche addict's support group (which, I guess it really is!). "Hi, I'm Scott, and I'm a Porscheholic". I'm 37, out of Huntington Beach, CA. I own a commercial construction company. I've been racing with BMW CCA, NASA, POC for about 7 years, and I've done a couple of SPEED World Challenge Touring races in a BMW, as well as a lot of endurance racing. I've been into Porsches ever since I was a kid, especially 911's. I remember being about 10 years old, and being able to pick out the flat-6 air-cooled engine sound from cars going by. In 1983, my father stopped working for a city and started his own consulting business. As a gift to himself, he wanted a car. Knowing I was a car nut, he asked me what I thought he should buy. I told him to get a 911. He wasn't really a fan of the 911, so I said "get that new 944 that's just out". I think he got it for under $20k. Three 944's later (the original, then an '86 Turbo, then an '88 Turbo S) he finally saw the light, and bought the car pictured below: Ok, so now my cars. I bought my '87 911 in 1998, then sold it, then bought it back (for the same price but the guy had done the clutch and a windshield) 2 years ago. I love the car: Then, in '04, I needed to get rid of my '99 M3, and looked at the E46 M3's, when a thought hit me: For the price of this car, I could EASILY get into a clean, low mileage 996. I cancelled my BMW order, and started looking. I found a good car in Michigan, and had a buddy who lived nearby check it out, have it inspected, and he took, literally, 100 photos and emailed them to me. I bought the car for $10k less than a new M3, and have been EXTREMELY happy. It goes in today for H&R coilovers, GT3 sways, and the needed skid plate. I'm trying to get it ready for track instruction duty. Here's a shot of the car I drive to keep the miles off the Porsches: (BMW, boo...hiss): And a shot of our World Challenge setup from Sebring '03 (my car's on the left):

Scott...nothing at all wrong with BMW's. Great company and sweet handling cars. Personally, I just sold my track worthy 1998 M3 coupe (not even close to stock) to get my 996. I plan on doing the same you are with yours. Welcome... Chad

36 - married with two boys. Previous 911 was an '82 Targa. RoW M030, PSE, B&M SSK, upgraded amp (Audison) and speakers (Focals), V1 hardwired, TouchTop w/drop the top on the fly hack, spoiler switch in dash, some interior and exterior bits...

It's actually 23:30 right now, 22 degrees centigrade, a bit chilly for Dubai

22 degrees at night? Damn you Rhamy you lucky &%#*& ! ! !

This is my first Porsche and I'm loving it. I have been and still am a BMW fan having owned over ten since the early 1980's..When it was time for a new car, BMW did not have anything that interested me so I stopped at the Porsche dealer and after the test drive that was it... Then I found Rennlist to learn more about Porsche's. That was a bad bad thing. While I did learn about the car and how to do my own work on it, I also found out all the different mods owners have done and I was hooked. So sitting in my garage right now are a B&M SSK, PSE(yes I will install the switch) new Silver Crest, H&R springs along with a few other smaller pending modifications, ie dash mounted spoiler switch, etc. Then someone posted a thread on garage lifts...so I went out and measured my garage and I can fit one in fairly easily....so when does it end???? My son says it will not end until I trade in the car and I think he may be right..... I am 49, widower, with two sons, 18 and 20. I have been in Law Enforcement for 25+ years and will retire February 1. While that will give me time to install my mods....I'll need to figure out a way to pay for the new ones.... I agree that this is a great bunch of people here on the Rennlist forums and it is interesting to see the different points of views people have. Wishing everone the best for your families and rides in 2005... See pictures below....I couldn't figure out how to do it so Apex did it for me....lol

oh yea, forgot about the Pepper! This is my 2nd P-Car

Hi, Am new to Rennlist, and bought my first P-car last October. Lottie is an 00 996 C4 Cab in Zenith Blue. I'm 25 from the UK but just moved to Cincinnati, and am not married (yet!). I (sometimes) work in Marketing.

2000 C2. I'm 23, from thailand, living in New York, and struggling with the crappy roads in manhattan. Absolutely addicted to this board (along with 6speed). Good to meet you all! cheers

OK, Ive posted this pic before but here's my 40th the day I brought it home this July. https://rennlist.com/forums/attachme...chmentid=19838 I'm a 52 year old physician pathologist with a first wife, 3 incredible kids (one a 12 year old Porsche junkie), and 4 Porsches in the stable listed below, currently suffering through another winter in Michigan. Yes, I have this Porsche disease bad and hope there is no cure!

Ok, here it goes. I am 47 years old and on my second Porsche. I am a 6 Sigma Black Belt for a large, multi-national company. My background is transmission design engineering and manufacturing quality. I am married and have two sons, one who is just finishing up his MBA at UCLA and the other who is a senior at UNC Wilmington. My current P-car is a 2001 996 C2. Some of my other fun cars were: 2001 Audi S4 1995 Porsche 993 C2 1996 BMW 328IS 1988 Mazda RX-7 GTU

My ladies...

Great thread! I work in health care and I have a very support wife who lets me indulge in my Porsches. My almost 3 year old sun is of course in love with the marque and yells our Porrrsche when ever he sees one. I've met several owners through him. My first Porsche is now one year old (40th Anniversary) and my second is 27 years old but new to me since Sept 2004. The 40th no longer sees any track time as it has been replaced in this aspect by the SC. They're both great cars in their own way and I'm lucky to have them both. The best rear end ever designed. My favorite turn. See ya later!

Here's mine

i live in dallas, am in real estate and am on porsche #4. all mine have been 996 variants and the most recent is by far my favorite !! see below.

32, 2 boys , run an investment banking firm in Toronto, on my 3rd P-car (wife has a Cayenne S) Next car will be a C4s Cab or Turbo Cab

I'm 29 and a dentist in the uk. I've had the 996 2years. Previously owned a 986 "S" but wrote it off after 4months when i rolled it three times in a ditch on a country road whilst avoiding a pheasant. All this with the hood down and i still walked away (just)! Says a lot about Porsche build quality. I've been to Le Mans for the past 2 years in the 996, a great event and celebration of cars. The 1200 mile trip is well worth it, some great driving roads are consumed on the trip. I hope you like the pics.

I'm 34. In software. Turn ons: cars. Turn offs: not liking cars. Married. 1 Daughter... 16 months old. This is my 3rd Porsche. I started with this one: 2000 C2 Ocean/Savanna Then sold it for almost what I paid for it.... ah... the good ole days... and bought this one: 2002 C2 Seal / Met Blue And sold it and currently have this one: 2002 TT Seal / GG But here's my real pride and joy: she's a 2003 model year....

I am workin' on a 2005 model year one of those

I don't think I've ever seen someone take a pic while wearing sneakers. The camera-person is always wearing some weird shoe-wear, hehe. Congratz!

Ditto here as well. C.

hahaha. Well, they're not sneakers, but they're not weird I don't think. They're just Polo brand leather shoes. Very comfortable. I need to crop those out of there. Chads and KY_Soldier, good luck! Also, enjoy the time to care for your car now. hehe

WOw nice wing.. what's it called, and where can I find it?

That's Misha's GT-2 style wing... I think Akkurat is selling them now (not 100% positive though)

Here is mine. 31 years living in Stockholm. It's stashed away for winter for now, can't wait to get it back on the roads.

Yea you can give George at Akkurat a call. [phone removed]

Got my 996 Cab Tiptronic in California in 2003, enjoyed it a lot there, then moved to Europe and so did the car. When importing the car in Europe I noticed that I saved about $30K in taxes, which put a smile on my face and make me enjoy my car even more. It's my first Pcar, and I am planning on keeping it a long time The picture is not that clear, and here in the Netherlands I need to wait for better weather to take it outside Marcel

Hey Marcel, good to see you & your car have settled in. Keep in touch mate.

I musta missed this thread, 'cuz now I'm going a little croo-eyed reading the whole thing from the beginning. Agree that this is a Porsche addict support group.

OOOH dats scary stuff. soo innovative huh. head of the herd following the herd. it's not about quanity its about quality (something dell knows nothing of). OT so i'll leave it alone.

We should move it to the OT, but it's like this - we don't claim to innovate, we just deliver value. As the saying goes, if it isn't popular, why are so many people doing it? Anyway, the post relates more the way they treat their people, not how state of the art the products are.

My lab. Off topic, but there are a couple Porsches in the pic.

looks like someone's ebay shopping

chris walrod, love the 996 carrera wheels on the 993

Here is mine...

Nice wheels Itradem !

That's the spoiler I have been looking for (front). That lip is great!!! What is the part number on that puppy???? Chad

Chad, we (you and I) talked about this recently and I decided tyo go ahead an get it and be the test dummy. Well, I am glad I bought it. However, much more pricey than the mK1 lip spoiler. $80 vs. $200. I bought it from Sunset about a month ago but haven't gotten around to the install yet since you have to make new holes to secure it. It fits beautifully but just needs new holes to attach to. The part number is 996 505 986 92 01C (list 243.63) and you need about 11 rivets but I ordered 20 to have spares 999 507 427 40 (list .23/ea). I will do the install this weekend and take pictures of the steps. It looks fantastic attached to the mK1 bumper. NOt sure why they didn't use this one in the first place?

Dell, I remember. That's the first "real" photo I have seen. It looks badass IMO. I wonder how much more stability there is at speed. (i.e. functionality). I guess I'll have to get in touch with Sunset as well... Keep me posted on the install. Chad

Sure thing. Totally agree on the pics. I have been searching for good pics of the lip on a mK1 spoiler like ours...this one is a good pic. I will make sure I take plenty of pics this weekend. Congrats again on the bambino!

Just snapped a pic of the two together to showcase the differences. Attached the pics.

I actually don't have any pictures of my "real" 996 yet (hard to believe), so here are a couple of my son's car. Kris

Sweet Dell...post 'em as you go. C.

Sure thing, I will start a new thread though so it is supercup lip labelled. Cheers, Dell

Ok, here goes. I'm new to rennlist but not to Porsches. I'm 48 with a wife and 3 kids and live in CT. Been in the computer leasing biz for 20+ years. A picture of my car is below (I hope). Have had a '91 C2 Coupe, '98 C2 Cab and an '00 Boxster S (thought I'd like it but the botttom line is that it's just not a 911). Thanks, Chuck

Here's mine: I'm 37, married with five kids aged 4 to 15. I am a bariatric surgeon (gastric bypasses) in private practice. I am new to Rennlist and P-cars. This is my first, got it new about 16 months ago. 10.7k miles so far. RMS leak at 9.9k miles. Car came with tons of carbon fiber interior - door sills, shifter, break, etc. Came with US M030 - thinking of changing to X74. I added PSE and four-pipe exhaust. Used as a near-daily driver but have an FX45 for bad weather, toting kids and junk around. Have been to one DE and heading for another April 2.

Forgot to include a bio with the pictures of the pinewood derby car above (both of my kids absolutely love the Porsche). I have been on this board for about a year now. Purchased a 99 C2 Cab about a year ago. All black with full leather, litronics, 18" sport design wheels, hifi package (if you want to call it that), heated sport seats, parking assist and the hard top. I am the second owner and it was originally delivered in Canada. I assume it is the same as the US model except for the metric issue. This is my first Porsche and the car I have wanted since I learned to drive. My wife had a moment of weakness as I was approaching the big 4-0, so I immediately jumped on the opportunity and went in search. I purchased the car in Texas (eBay) and drove it back to Northern California. That was an unbelievable trip. Wife of 19 years and an 8 year old boy and 5 year old girl. Work in public accounting. Several mods to date: B&M short shift kit (favorite mod), PSE (still on the fence with this, I am going to either install the switch or get the GLH), auto up/down switch for the hard top, MP3 hard wire input for the Becker, driver and passenger cup holders (made one out of a steel cover for an electical box as a bracket for the holder that mounts to the frame of the drivers seat and the other that mounts to the side of the console one the passenger side, will post pics at some point), new wheel lug bolts, and center console switch for the garage door opener. The next mods will be a bluetooth hands free cell phone kit, then side skirts and a homelink transmitter connected to the center console switch. I would also like to know where I could get leather visors and just a leather (stitched) lid for the rear console. I couldn't be any happier with the car. My other passions are golf, water skiing and wakeboarding and home electronics. This board has been a great resource and somewhat of an addiction. Thanks to everyone for all their input and help. (I also found an OK picture) Kris

Chad and LVDell, I bought my lip spoiler from The Racers Group, so I am not sure on that part number. It was called their supercup front lip. I did have to do some minor hole drilling to get everything lined up correctly, but it was no big deal. I am happy with the change from an appearance stanpoint, but don't think it helped at all with improving downforce on the front end. No worse, but no better. Thanks, Jeff

Jeff, I think the TRG lip is the same as the Porsche Motorsports Supercup lip which is the same as the mK2 lip that I bought. I will need to "relocate" a few holes as well in my GT3 spoiler to accomodate it but the fit is perfect. I will post a thread when I do the install. Like you said, the appearance it much better than the mK1 lip ot sure about the downforce. My guess would be about 25kg.

Crap weather so I took these from inside my garage. Can't wait for a nice day so I get some better pictures. Oh well don't have a good camera anyways.

Hey Jumper5836, I'm in my Mississauga office as we type and I swear that I can almost smell spring in the air. Get that bad boy out today!

Like you I am stuck in a Mississauga office and can't though I can look out the window to see it in the parking lot. Hopefully this weekend the roads will dry out some and I can take it to my secret bit of road to have some fun.

This weekend is calling for 2 or 3 degrees (plus side of the zero at least) and rain but who knows, those shmucks have been known to be wrong. You going to track your car this summer?

I would like to but not with this car. I was thinking of getting a 964 for the track but they are hard to come by and way over priced here in Canada. I need to wait about a year financially and then pick up one from a sunny state.

Why not with the C4s? I used to be worried about throwing that much money around the track and considered a less expensive car for tht purpose but when you think about it, what's the difference which car you bend? It costs no matter what.

Your right. It does cost no matter what, but one cost less to fix and maintain. Seeing as this is my baby I don't want to devalue her is anyway. I don't think I will ever be able to afford another new porsche in my life so this one is going to have to last. If I had the money I wouldn't care but that isn't the case and if it were the case I would be doing it with a 996 TT. I really do love older model 911s and love the look almost more then the new look and having a new one and older one is kinda a dream of mine that one day will come true.

Don't get me wrong, if money was no object, I'd have an early 70s RS replica for weekends/track and then I probably wouldn't need or want my 996 and get something for a daily driver. I have always loved the traditional 911 land 930 ook.

Ok, I'll bite. Here's my '99 C2 Cab that I just bought in Florida. Full carbon/supple leather interior, nav unit, and other goodies. I'm 54 and an investment banker residing in Washington, DC. This is my 2nd Porsche. My first was a 1960 356 Super 90 Coupe (guards red) that I sold a few years back. Big difference in performance, of course, but the "heritage" is unsmistakeable.

jdearth, must say I like your choice of cars. You will really like it. Do you have a cover of some sort on your head lights? If so, where did you get them and do they fit the litronics? Kris

Welcome to RENNLIST jdearth..., oh, and BTW. nice ride!

Ok, here are some pics out of the garage, roads were dry enough and was a pretty good morning. Temp was cool enough to keep the ground from un-thawing and making the roads all wet.

Nice ride!

Thank you everyone for sharing.... A brief info on me... 38 married with two kids (Brandon - 9 and Shayna - 6). I am a nu-b to p-cars. I bought my 993TT last Novermber and have really enjoyed it. I join RL in Oct 2004 and can't imagine owning my car without this place. Thanks again... here are some pics

Great car there Tony.

what a beautifull 993TT

Thank you mundman & jumper5836. jumper5836, when I was in the market it was a tough decision between my 993TT and 996 C4S, they're both beautiful cars. DonW, I will be picking up my billet silver crest center caps from Ralph boothe tomorrow... will post pics.
