I bought my '97 base about 2 months ago and am having a blast making her my own. I've wanted a Porsche since I was old enough to speak and now I have one. When the kids leave the house (in other words, when I'm not broke), we'll see what the next Porsche will be.

Given my humor was not understood I didn't think too many would know what an aglet was so I used a common understandable term. It is a technical profession after all with its own jargon that can be confusing to those outside the craft.:D
