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.

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...

The seats are way more comfortable than the stock seats. Since I just traded the Boxster in, I put the stock seats back in. My back was killing me sitting in those. The GT3 seats are harder to get in...

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...

It's been awhile since I've been on here, but I saw this thread and I had to post. 993 all the way. After buying my 86 911, I am liking it more and more each day. I know many people with 996s...

I got 6000 miles out of my last rear set of F1 GS-D3s. I have had no issues other than that. They seem to work well.

We (my wife and 2 kids) were on a family vacation (road trip) to Cali. I didn't think I should drive the car and leave my wife and kids in the other car for 800 miles. She probably would have told me...

0-60 the Boxster is faster. Plus my Boxster has some mods done. The last dyno I did I was putting down 240HP at the wheels with it. Plus it has been lightened with the exhaust mod and the GT3 seats....

After a little over 800 miles, the car made it home. Towing a U-Haul trailer is a lot different than towing my 24ft enclosed trailer. I could actually see behind me. The trailer does sway a lot more...

Pretty much. I negotiated the price, went to the bank to get a cashiers check, then went back to his house to pick up the car. Fast transaction.



Thanks. The car is more finished than what I...

I'm just bummed that I won't see the car until next Saturday. I tried to talk my wife into letting me bring it to Southern Cali, but it would have been a hassle. I guess I will just have to wait.

A PPI was next to impossible since I met the guy at 6:30am and was back on the road at 9:30 with the car. Since I bought it 800+ miles away from home, I was out of my territory. If the engine goes...

Too bad. I wanted the buy it now option for those incredible invisble side skirts. Those would have been so hot on my car.

Now that's a project. That would be a ton of fun, but would probably take me forever. Talk about a diamond in the rough.

If you remember her comment on my autocross video, I wonder what she would...

I'm willing to spend what it takes to get the right one. I don't have a set budget for this. Since the new car will be a 4th car for us, it probably wouldn't even see many miles at first. So costs...

Anyone with experience with older 911s?

I'm looking at picking up an older 911 SC as a second Porsche. Does anyone have much experience with them? Is there anything I need to look out for? My wife wants to buy me an older one as a project...

With GT3 seats, Cross coilovers, and 19" wheels, I don't think it would be too enjoyable for me. I love the GT3 seats, but for me they are only good for a couple hours. Now if my car was still stock,...

I was thinking about it. I missed out on it last year when it was only 3 hours away. If I go this year, it's about 20 hours away. I would probably just throw the Boxster in the trailer for the trip...
