Well I finally found pulled the trigger and got it! I have wanted one all of my adult life. I is sort of a family tradition. My grandfather, and my father have always had Targa's. I learned to drive in my dad's 1980 911SC Targa. He had that car from 1980 to 1997 when he finally replaced it with a 993 Targa. I think that the '80 had something like 350,000 miles on it. Mine is an 03 with 24,000 miles on it. LA traffic has driven me to buy a Tip. This will be my first automatic car since i learned to drive in 1982. I tried to post pics but I am under the limit...

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.

I'll post pics just as soon at this board lets me... something about needing a minimum number of posts.
How many posts does it take before I can post pics?

Maybe this will work??
Very nice.. Congrats.
Stunning!!
great car! you know it's funny every time i see someone post pix of their cars, i have to run down to garage to check out mine
Welcome to the very exclusive porsche club and the very very exclusive TARGA club. Once you go Targa you will never go back! Mine is an 03 too and you will love it.
just beautiful, congrats. like color.
Very nice Targa! Congrats and Welcome! Thanks for posting the pics!
Can we get pics with the targa roof open?
I'll post some in the morning.
Nice Targa and congrats! Before I got my current P-car I found a Targa in the same Silver and Black color combo for sale that I really wanted, but it sold before I could get my act together.
Beautiful car. Is that a GT3 front airdam? Love the overall aero look. Congrats! Piccia '02 Targa
Nice ride!!!!!!
I was told it is a GT3 front bumper but honestly I don't know if it is a Porsche bumper or not. The fit and finish appear factory but that doesn't mean it is.
I can't wait to see it with the Targa top removed. Is it a pain to remove it? Is it hard to store it in such a way that it won't be damaged?
It is electric and simply retracts back.
Congrats, Ron! I know how you feel. I just picked up my first 911. I'm hooked.
"It is electric and simply retracts back." I cannot believe I didn't know that. But I'm glad I know it now. Thanks.
LOL! I like it. Congrats on the car! Looks good.
Sweet Targa! Welcome to the Targa club. (secretly all the others are jealous of us, even the GT3 and Turbo guys).
Hey Ben, now that you have had your car for a week or so, do you even remember what type of car you had before getting the 996? If not, then YES, YOU ARE HOOKED!
