2001 - 19,900 mile garage queen. I bought it new and won't drive it in the rain. I decided to stretch its legs and drove it to my daughter's home 185 miles away. A metal pipe came cart wheeling toward me a hit the front bumper.

I removed the bumper and will get it painted and reinstalled. I have a $1000 deductable so this is on my dime. I considered going to a 996 bumper but decided to keep the stock S bumper.

I was surprised at the amount of debris that had accumulated between the A/C condenser and the radiator.
