Just picked up a 2001 Speed Yellow 2.7 manual. Really look forward to ownership. Wow, these thing have gotten CHEAP!

I've always been a Porsche fan, since my neighbor down the street took me for a ride when I was maybe 12 in a very early 944 Turbo they were considering buying. They ended up restoring an older 911, and that's another lust story. I had the obligatory 959 poster on the wall in high school.

My car came with a story. The ad stated "I'm 81 and just don't need a car like this anymore." Turns out he purchased this for his wife who was dying of cancer. It was a bucket list item. She always wanted a Porsche. She passed away a few months ago.

It's somewhat rough and needs a lot of deferred maintenance done. But he put in a new clutch, water pump and LN IMS bearing after he purchased it. So, some big items have been covered already.

I'm an Engineer. I travel for work A WHOLE LOT. I only put maybe 5000 miles a year on a car. So I want them all to be fun.
