first time 986 owner

[Aimee4588]

Hey everyone!

Just got a 986, base model in slate grey, a little over a month ago, and I've been actively reading these threads to understand the ins and outs of the car. So far, everything has been so helpful.

UNFORTUNATELY, I drove up to Chicago to pick up the beauty and drove it down to West Tex, (where we're currently stationed) and got into a fender bender with a pick up truck right outside of OKC. Long story short, a semi cut me off and forced me to shift lanes quick. I didn't see the pick up truck quickly creeping up and BAM. It's been in the shop since Sept 6 and hopefully i get it back ASAP. It's finally not 100deg EVERYDAY so it's tolerable to drive topless.

safe driving everyone!

Aimee

Welcome! Your car looks great.

Welcome to the forum! West Texas? Which base? I've been reading a lot about the speed limits out there. I used to drive from Austin to El Paso and remember miles and miles of nothing but brush. Have they moved the limit up to 85?

Thank you Topless!

Schnell: We're not really TOO far west, we're startioned at Dyess AFB. My husband AF. As of right now, i haven't noticed speed limits to be 85, but I did hear about them changing it to 80mph.

Originally we're both from Illinois, and the highest speed limit is only 60/65.

It looks like you need to get one of these... it fits perfectly in the boxster!
