I took the same 100k miles pic in my 2004 986S. Sadly, 6 months later my IMS failed. Tell me you haven't bought into the "if it's good at 30k it will be good for 230k" myth.

I'm in Bethesda. The big concern is to have to deal with this during the work week, so I'm willing to drive a bit. Bonus if it's a nice day and I can put the top down

Anyone in DC are with a scan tool

Who is willing to reset my airbag light on a 2003 996S? I believe an Autel can do this as can a durametric. i do understand that this could be a problem with an enthusiast version of the durametric.
