what you know now that you didnt back then

Things you know now that maybee you didnt back then. Driving characteristics, views on maintenance, mistakes you've made, good decisions you made, etc.

I am just very excited about getting the car but know that i don't know anything about these cars other than what I have read in magazines and old posts on a variety of topics.

Keep reading, asking questions and contributing when you can. Drive your car, get to know your car, listen to it. Knowledge is power.

Sparky,

Welcome to the forum. For us to give you any advise we need to know what kind of car your going to buy or have already bought. The different models, engines, transmissions and years all have their own +'s and -'s.

Congratulations, driving around in your Porsche will make you feel like a Rock Star!

Keep all fluids clean and fresh.

Replace all filters often.

Buy a warranty if your car does not have one.

Welcome to our forum.

20K on a set of original tires in an "S"? You'll be looking for a new set of tires soon. I echo the last in changing fluids and filters. Always keep your eyes open for good deals (unless your loaded then you can just disregard). I search EBay and other discount parts websites and have saved allot of money.

Example: Paid $100 for a set of headers, the very same ones but with a different name on them $600. Painted Aero II side skirts; Paid $215, from a dealer $800+.
