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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I bought my wife a 2002 C2 Cab for her birthday -- and pulled off the surprise, no less. It was almost as much fun getting the car without her knowing as it is owning it. Almost. It's black over natural brown full leather, six-speed, and came with two sets of identical wheels (one for summers, one for winters). With 57k miles, it's in exceptional shape. We both couldn't be happier, now my Boxster S has a big brother! Resisting the urge to do any modifications is like Odysseus tying himself to the mast. Must...resist...

Great story Pete, welcome to the 996 forum. Nice pics of your wife's new Porsche, hope she'll let you enjoy it once in awhile.

POST 6Original post

Very nice, great color combination! Congratulations!

POST 7Original post

congrats! The Natural Leather looks great and you have just enough contrast with the center console, carpets and dash. A Classy 996 Cab FTW.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, guys, she loves the car. Drives it everywhere, and I got a charge out of surprising her. My buddies' wives are all giving them the "Where's my f-ing Porsche?" eyeball, which has them giving me a fair dose of good-natured grief. I've always sort of fallen prey to the "997 is better" mantra, and don't get me wrong I really like the interior of my 987. But I love the elegant curves and older look of my 996 interior especially well. Something about it, I'm a bit bored with the 997 interior and don't like the 991 at all. So, for us, it is perfect. No mods...no mods...

POST 13Original post

Several years ago bought my wife a Euro 911 for her birthday also. Still living off the bonus husband points. I really like the color combo, I was looking for one like that a couple of years ago. Congrats to the both of you.

POST 14Original post

Wow: nice cab, enjoy the miles and her smiles!

POST 16Original post

Very nice. She's a lucky girl. I'm also a bit envious - I bought a 2003 here in Canada a few weeks ago but it has been so cold and snowy that I haven't really had it out.

POST 17Original post

That cab is gorgeous! Love the contrasts on the interior! We should start a pool to see how long before you and your wife switch cars? Everyone pick a date. Who's in for a dollar?

POST 18Original post

That is an awesome story !! Congrats on picking up a a real stunner. Now just get a Non-Smokers Kit and enjoy.

POST 19 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'll think about the non-smoker's kit. I definitely like the look of that better than the ashtray, which we'll never use. I'll probably wait until I have a nice long list of goodies and then come to ECS! Thanks again!
