I lived in MA for 2 years, many years ago. At that time, I had a Thunderbird Turbo Coupe with a 5 speed manual. The instant snow storms in April almost killed me with that car. Please get winter tires!
And welcome to the group!
And publish some pictures. I'm looking for someone that has worse paint than I do.
Wheels are stock. Well maybe not stock on that car but they are Porsche wheels, Sport Classic II they're called.
I noticed amber headlights which means early 99. Post a pic of your under hood/frunk option sticker and we can tell you if your car was optioned with those wheels and any other goodies !
It seems like more and more 996�s are appearing in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, great to see. I have early 1999 C-2 also which I have had for about five years and use primarily for track days. Welcome to the group.
Wow that's a lot of options !
