[TypeA]

June 2014. After cruising craigslist and discovering how affordable the used Porsche market was. I first test drove a Arctic Silver 97' with 76k miles, he talked up the low milage a lot and wanted 10k firm. I was never fond of Silver and I noticed the difference in engine size when I test drove a 2002 base after test driving the 97. I pulled the trigger on a Seal Grey, base model, bone-stock 2002 with 99k miles, spent $10k. Done a lot to it in the last year, especially cosmetic but some mechanical too. The biggest lesson Ive learned from my first ever Porsche (and somewhat annoyingly so): People seem to think you spent a fortune on the car and/or have lots of money. In my case neither is true and it kinda gets tiring explaining the contrary to people. So I dont any more, I just confirm Im loaded and carry on smartly.
