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...

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.

Here are a few photos of our newest baby...
Nice!
I bet she did a back flip.
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.
Very nice, great color combination! Congratulations!
congrats! The Natural Leather looks great and you have just enough contrast with the center console, carpets and dash. A Classy 996 Cab FTW.
Congrats! Requesting pics of wife now......
Very nice! Congrats!
Congtats, Nice cab.
Booty-ful!
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...
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.
Wow: nice cab, enjoy the miles and her smiles!
SWEET!! enjoy
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.
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?
That is an awesome story !! Congrats on picking up a a real stunner. Now just get a Non-Smokers Kit and enjoy.
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!
Awesome, well if you have any questions or need help finding something feel free too PM me and I will gladly get you an answer.
