Recently bought my first Porsche, a 2004 C2. I love the thing probably more than I should. I spent a lot of time researching 996s before I moved ahead with the purchase, and I got more info here than anywhere else. Thanks to everyone.

It's all in your mind
Here's a picture of her (I think it's a she, at least my wife thinks so). Atlas Grey with grey interior. M030 suspension and Fabspeed exhaust. I just bought some aluminum pedals. Why? Because all I do is think about the car, and I can only drive it on weekends (live in Manhattan), so I had to do something!

'03 and '04 are great years and a lot of 911 for the money. Atlas is a personal favorite. The US market is spoiled with such a wide selection of exceptional 911's at price points that are unheard of in other countries.
Honey..... Honey? ..... HONEY !!! WTF are you doing in the garage..... Awe, the good old days

Atlas is beautiful, wish my car was atlas whenever I break out the polisher (my 5 series is and it never needs a wash, you should see what the black porsche looks like after my recent montreal road trip). Seems there are more 996 rennlisters in ny ny these days, we'll have to do a 212 get together Best, Hans
Hans, do you know of any good driving areas around NYC? For the past couple weekends, I've just been randomly driving around CT and NJ. I would love to find a road that is actually fun to drive on. Possibly even more fun than the Jersey side of the Lincoln Tunnel...(makes me wince every time I drive along that tortured road). Thanks
Congrats and Welcome to Rennlist! Sweet looking Coupe!

I can make a couple of suggestions but they are 1-2 hours away. Try the Bear Mountain area or the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. Both have wonderful roads (try Route 611 along the Delaware Water Gap) that these cars are built for. I used to drive mine into Manhattan occasionally and it would hurt to hit some of those potholes. In fact my first set of rims were bent from those roads so be cautious. Oh and congrats on the car! I love mine more than I should as well!
Oh yeah, have fun.....

Good!
Thanks for the great suggestions. I remember Bear Mountain from years ago, driving a friend's E46 M3 at a pretty rapid pace. I will check out Rte 611 too, looks like 78 is the best way to get there, and that's a nice fast highway, usually. Bummer about all the rain forecast for the weekend, I was hoping to drive a couple hundred miles and then test out the golf-bag carrying ability of the 911. I know that people claim it can handle 2...
