So, a typical conversation in our house goes a little like this. Me: 'hey babe, look at this 'insert random daily car here'. It's in 'insert random state that isn't Texas.' Let's go buy it and make it a road trip.' Mrs igrip: 'ok, whatever you want. Let's do it.’ Then I change my mind on the car and look at a different one the next day. This time however, our friends called me telling me they wanted to sell their Porsche. I gave them a few avenues that I thought would work and added an extra option that he could just sell it to me and let me take care of selling. He liked that option and we made a deal. Only thing is that they live outside of New Orleans and we are 7 hours away. I made my daily daydreams into reality by taking Mrs igrip for a crazy day trip. We flew into New Orleans in the morning, ate beignets and oysters and played tourists till late afternoon. We went to get the car and got on the road for a late night drive home. While we were driving, I said this is basically my dream life. In typical fashion, I usually fall for all the cars that I drive and try to imagine my life keeping them all. This one was no different as it made a great road trip machine. And I’ve fallen for this 996 C4.

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.

That's awesome -- doesn't get much better than that! Welcome to Carpokes!
Congratulations on your new 996! They are the most faithful to the original of the water cooled 911's. What kind of cup holder is that you have? GTS Car Life YouTube Automotive Channel
Nice catch! Is it your first Porsche then? And that other car looks like an RX-8. What's the story there?
Nice one. Curious about the colour.
