Happy to say: I finally joined the 986 club when I purchased Joe's triple-black Tuesday morning. It is my privilege to report that Joe is every bit the amazing car owner/maintainer, enthusiast, and human being that people have said he is.

The car is in perfect shape. His care and attention to detail is simply superb. When Joe says "Everything works", he means everything.

Joe also went well out of his way, time and time again, to accommodate my travel schedule, and prepare the car for my immediate 800mi road trip cross-country, driving it back to North Carolina. He was flexible, communicated quickly and accurately, and was beyond honest. He took an extraordinary amount of time to make sure I understood the car from hood crest to tailpipes, and answered more questions than you can imagine.

The drive home, including long stretches of heavy rain in the mountains, was flawless. The 986 is a whole new world of driving confidence. And for anyone who doubts that Porsches get attention: When I requested a receipt from one of the WV Turnpike toll booth attendants, she said: "Sure. Can I borrow your car?" First day with me, in pouring rain, and the 986 is already getting asked out...

Thanks to Joe for an already fantastic 986 experience. Thanks also to all of you forum members for educating me on this wonderful machine and creating a community to support it.
