It was the front mud flaps that convinced me that this was the car for me.

Love the photos - that car is probably the second nicest white 996 that I've seen.

Washington insurance just nails the parents even with clean records.
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.

Ok, accidently closed the last post-sorry. Anyway, I understand posting pictures is the order of business for newbies. So here is my 2004 White C4S, Black Leather Interior, Sport Exhaust, 19" Kahn 2pc. brushed stainless wheels (have originals), radar/lazer hidden in front/back, LoJack, heated seats, carbon fiber, etc. Will be selling when I get the build date for my new 08 997 TT
Glad to be a member of your forum! You are all super and very helpful.
Hey Chuck, I see you're back "slumming" again!
Boy, things must be slow on the 996 TT & GT3 Forums, because Dell was back here today also.
I saw your thread on the 996 TT Forum that you got the Europipe installed. Good for you!
OK, spill the beans, what's your next mod? We won't tell the TT guys.
It's good to have you back here again, Chuck!
Very nice!

I think the above responses are the shortest replies I have seen. Kinda reminds me of striking up a conversation with my girlfriend when I was in 8th grade.
Give us time we will soon be talking in complete sentences.

Absolutely Stunning. If I didn't already have a C4S I'd be all over this one. GL with the sale. I hope it stays in the Seattle area so I can see it one day
I'll get some more pics - have some stunning photos but need to reduce the size to get them downloaded - will work on that. Thanks for all the compliments...when I drive it around town, the same thing happens! Great attention magnet. Makes one feel pretty cool :-) I am having some second thoughts on forking out so much $$$ for a new 997TT - but after I drove one I had to have the power! Thought I would do white as I always do (started this addiction with a white Boxster S), with cocoa interior. Thoughts?
You've gotta stick with white - it's THE color for a Porsche. I saw a white turbo cab thaat looked amazing in the showroom - it goes without saying that it wasn't there long.
Haven't decided on a price yet. Have spent about $10k in options over the past year (Kahn wheels, radar system, sport exhaust, etc.). Downside and reason I have it tucked away in its winter blanket in my garage - I have 55k miles on it becuase I love to drive it so much. (got a new daily driver so I could slow up on the mileage - killing me not to drive it though ) :-)
Yes, will be white for sure. I don't like the cab because there is a blind spot - the rear window is not as long and when I back out of parks, the blind spot is really dangerous (may be partly my height ?). Prefer the coupe, especially in Seattle with all the rain we get. thanks for the comments.
Well, I changed jobs and took a shot at the "be my own boss" thing and it did not pan out like I had wanted. Fortunately, I didn't lose any money but I didn't make very much either in the last 12 months. So I am actively back in the job market. I thought it was best if I reduced my expenses before I "had" to do so.
I have been telling the guys here that I have my eye on a 1990 Honda Accord (see pic), but I am worried that someone else will jump on that sweet machine will before the 996 is sold. It was the front mud flaps that convinced me that this was the car for me.
Welcome. I see that you're moving up from C4S. I have never thought white carreras could look as nice until I recently saw a 997 pass me by on the freeway. White color so much accentuates the wide hips and other body flares so well. After that, I ve been considering getting a white/black since all my cars are black/black. Good luck on your 997TT.
The Carrara White looks great on a TT or any 911 for that matter. I am not real big fan of brown interiors, but that is just my personal opinion. I have seen Carrera White with a Sea Blue interior, and in my opinion, that looked great.
Here is a pic one of the guys on the 997 forum posted. Also the attache link if from the Porsche web site, which has some interior pics at teh bottom of he page. You can click on them to make them larger. BTW- the interior pic on the web site seems to be a little lighter than the actual colors.
Fountain Blue with Sea Blue
I had an Escort system installed for about $2300. It is hidden in the front and rear of the car and talks to me thru my speakers (ie. "Laser Alert, or KA Ban Alert, etc.) You can have it programed a number of ways. For the laser scrambler, there is a hidden button under my dash so I can just switch it off if need be. There is also a mute button. Love the system - no tickets, knock on wood! Had it done at a company in Bellevue, WA called Benchmark that Porshce referred me to. Let me know what other questions you may have.
Welcome, luv everything except the rims. Incidentally I really dig what you did with the back, I have never seen this and it suits the wide body accenting the wide horizontal nature of that beast.
Yes it is, and...
OMG - your Porsche is beautiful.. While I have a preference for white, personally - your pics are simply.. Well.....
OUTSTANDING!!!!!
very, very... Nice.......

I don't care about the attorney/traffic bills, but I do care about the insurance. We have four cars and a college age son we carry that totalled a car, hit a pedestrian, and has tickets as a teenager. Washington insurance just nails the parents even with clean records. He has been incident free for nearly four years now and we are enjoying watching the insurance rates drop (and want to keep them down).
My son is an aspiring photographer and takes all the pics. Check out portfolio on his website:

(He'll take pics of your car suitable for framing, in a book, etc. great to have to display).
