Bye bye, Boxster. Hello, C4!
 

After careful consideration (about six seconds), I picked up a 1999 C4 with 49K miles. It's in amazing shape. The second owner had the GT3 aero kit installed by Porsche - all parts (except perhaps the wheels - I don't know) are Porsche sourced.

I'll miss the Boxster, but damn, I'm in love...

Looks great, very classy!

Another defector ! :(

Very nice. That aerokit is $$$$. Very GT3ish. Nice!

My condolences. I am sorry for your loss.

Indeed. It's no Boxster but I suppose a C4 won't totally suck. :)

I think those are Porsche wheels, or good knockoffs. I've seen a few 996s with those.

Those are not Porsche wheels. Most likely BBS. Very nice. Love the lip.

Added another photo of the Carrera in my driveway. I have to confess that I grin like an idiot every time I see it.

i would too, that thing is awesome...

Congrat's! I keep looking at doing the same (but keeping the 986 as a track car).

I'm not much of a fan of lower body kits or wings but that 996 looks great. The lowered stance and THOSE WHEELS look great, they really make the car imo. Congrats. :cheers:

My wheels are similar and love the look. I hate cleaning them though. It's almost an everyday job when you are as anal as I am.:). Great car!

I've always had an itch to get BBS LM's that have a similar web design as the op'ers. Seeing pictures as above sure rekindles the urge. Those 996's are a bargain right now, alot of car for the money. :cheers:

Damn that is one sweet looking car. So when you cutting the roof off?

Thanks for all the positive remarks. As far as cutting the top off - the sunroof is enough. It's amazing how rigid the 996 coupe is. My poor '96 Corvette - with the targa panel off - is going to develop a complex.

sd boxster, are you going to change your username?

Nah, I'm already sd_boxster in too many places. I considered "the artist formerly known as sd_boxster" but that's a lot to type.
