Super proud of him though I did feel he should have set his sights lower.
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.

After saving up for 2.5 years from his after school job, my son bought his first Porsche....a beautiful white 2002 4S. Super proud of him though I did feel he should have set his sights lower.
We have already replaced it with the IMS which was a single row and was starting to fail. Also new brakes and rotors. Drives like new.
Very nice! My favorite standard color! I'm an amber fender turn signal guy though. Lol
Mileage and price if you're open to sharing? Curious what the C4S market is doing.
^ yep...we think we caught the bering in time since the seals are still good....per requests...the car has 70K miles...bought the car privately before it was listed for a fair price without IMS upgrade and other needed fixes. Here is the rear shot...it is really beautiful from behind. My son and I both agree that it is much nicer than the newer 911s. The new ones are too big and wide....the 996 C4S is just right.
CONGRATS: That is so cool. Like father, like son. It's only the beginning, lol.
There are a lot of beautiful 911's out there, but white is my favorite.
See ya somewhere in Seattle for sure
We were just talking about spacers last night....what is the recommended spacers sizes? Is there a thread that discusses for C4S? My thinking was that I have an extra set of 5 mm for front and 7 mm for rear that we were going to try. My son wants to also lower though I am not sure about that for clearance purposes.
I'm not sure on the spacer size unfortunately. When I bought my car, they were already installed. There is currently one for sale on BaT that supposedly has 7mm front and 14mm rear. I think Pelican sells them. They might know. I'm usually not a huge fan of lowered cars, but it seems to really work on the 4s. Looks very tasteful in my opinion. I've got H&Rs. I've heard people say that the ride might be a bit harsher. I don't think it's harsh. I'm sure your son wouldn't mind the ride as well. I haven't had any issues with ground clearance yet, but I also don't DD it.
So you're going to make hurting my feelings with these beautiful cars a whole family affair, huh!?
. Seriously, though, big congrats to you & son. As a new father I cannot wait to share moments like these with my little guy.
