Out with the old, in with the older
Well, I actually got rid of the Boxster. As of last night, the Boxster and my 86 911 that I just bought a couple months ago were traded in on a 96 993TT. What can I say, I wanted more power. The Boxster had been a great car for the past 15 months that I have owned it. Someone will be getting a great car with some good mods. I did pull the GT3 seats out and took the wheels off too. Josh (JP-s-in st. louis) helped me get the car back together the other night. Made things go much faster.

Anyway, here's a picture of the new ride.

You traded in 2 Porsches for 1older car! That sounds crazy. How much milage was on the 96TT?

The 96 has about 57k miles. Not crazy at all. This is way more car than the other 2 combined. Exactly what I was looking for. Neither of the other cars or this one are my daily driver. This is my weekend, fun time, autocross car.

I'm sure I will miss the convertible, but my wife and I were thinking that maybe next year we might add a 997S Cab. That would solve the convertible issue.

He didnt made a mistake...A mint condition 993TT is a hard find, a true collector. Any mint 911/993 twin turbos are bound to hold their values. The 993s are the last air cooled Porsches plus the TT factor.
Congrats!
