986 Wrecked - Got a 996 Today!

The 986 was a total loss. When all is said and done, the insurance company is going to pay me $15K + give me my wrecked car back.

So, I went out and bought a 1999 996 for $10K. Yes, $10K! Car is in very good condition with 110,000 miles. PPI done at EF1 Motorsports in Long Beach. New clutch at 90k. Water pump, AOS, brake pads/rotors all new within the past year. Needs new coil packs, spark plugs, and a few other minor items. First impression is that the additional 100hp of the 996 sure is nice!

This leaves me $5K + my all of the parts from my damaged 986 BSX towards having a Spec Boxster (BSR) built. I'll have to add a bit of my own money to get there but it is within sight!
