turned out to be the best mod for the money I have ever done, cleaner look.

I'm still too busy enjoying the heck out of it and haven't thought about any changes yet.
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.

Hello fellow P fans,
Fairly new to me (about 2 months) 2003 C4 I purchased in Colorado Springs, had to drive it back home to Tucson, Arizona (some sacrifice). It was an amazing drive through amazing country. Wide open roads. A few pictures to share, I hope you enjoy. I sure did! I want to take my 911 back through those roads in 2008 sometime.
I created a short write up, somewhat cheesy, but hey, I'm having fun with it:

Thank you. As a new 911 owner, I haven't had time to think about mods. It's fairly stock, 18 inch tires, Bose stereo, full leather, some aluminum finish. I'm still too busy enjoying the heck out of it and haven't thought about any changes yet. I've had/have some reasonably nice cars over the years, Nissan 300ZX, MB 320, MB SLK 230, 2006 BMW 330, but this one by far is the most enjoyable ride.
I am thinking about harvesting the pumpkins off the side, but if reflexively that is the thing to do these days, along with adding aluminum pedals, maybe its time to hang on to the orange markers?
Either way, what a fun ride! I can't wait to continue enjoying it over 2008!
Welcome! Nice pics - you're wife's name is Dawn? Mine, too. I recognized a number of spots in your pictures.. Been to that overlook on US 50 looking down into Salida with Mt Antero, Mt. White, and Mt. Shavano many times.. Is that other shot on US 550 from Ouray to Silverton - aka, the "Million Dollar Highway?" The most amazing road... although you can't really go wrong in that part of the country. My Dawn and I drove that a few years ago (before we got our 996, alas) - we might have to try to get back there this summer.

purchasing my first 911 about a year ago was one of the best experiences of my life - it was so fun, so surreal, so special. heck, i even managed to **** of barry bonds in the porsche.
thx for sharing!
Welcome,
Great pictures! Drooling just looking at that one shot of the open road in the sun. Being in the middle of winter and not being able to drive mine in over a month does nothing for my deteriorating condition.
Congratulations on both your ride and road trip
+1 on the HARVEST
Great pic's and nice write-up...must have been an out of this world first drive. Gotta love a triple black Porsche. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the ride.
I know it is a matter of taste.
Personally I knew nothing of the clear markers until it was pointed out to me (rennlist). For $30.00 or so I got a set. turned out to be the best mod for the money I have ever done, cleaner look.
As far as I know they come out with clear markers from factory in Europe, import to US in orange due to a law in one state (?).
I think it is worth having a set to switch, and if orange is preferred switch back. The and time involved would be insignificant.
Wecome to the club John. Nice to hear you drove your new(to you) Porsche all the way home...bet you were like a little kid at Christmas every mile you drove. Partial to black myself.
Thank you all for the welcome.
Ianny - Yes, I bought my Porsche at Colorado Springs Porsche and it was a good buying experience. I negotiated by telephone before arriving, so the pick up process itself was enjoyable: Take a 1 way flight from Tucson to Colorado, then drive home over 3 days. This car was CPO, so that provided/provides another measure of peace of mind that I found important to me.
As fun as that drive was, who knows, maybe I should drive it back to Colorado Springs for a future oil change?
Welcome to the "family"....nice car and some great shots. I especially liked the shot in the desert...that must have been a great drive back to Tucson. I attended U of A back when!!

Ahhh, I bought my C4S in Boulder this past June and took alot of heat on this board for not driving it back to Phoenix. I did get to drive it around Boulder for a day before I put it on the car carrier. What a beautiful city.
Sorry to dig up an old post, but this is very close to the first thing I did when I bought my 996 C4. I just went the other way, from Tucson to the Four Corners area. Then on to Colorado Springs with family, but not in the Porsche.
It was a great introduction to the car; the stretch through the Salt River Canyon by itself makes the trip worthwhile.
