Default Hello! I am a new 993 owner, just wanted to say Hey

I bought my 1996 993 about six months ago. I finally saved up the $17 to buy a rennlist membership.

It is a 1996 C2, purchased with 77,000 miles on it. Grand Prix White with blue leather inside. I drove it from Orlando to Chicago over a couple of days and have been enjoying it ever sense. Over the past six months I have met a bunch of great Porsche people.

Heads rebuilt by by Franz Blam Racing at 59,006 miles. Service History since 1999.

It was the car I wanted when I was 12 and I finally bought one before I was priced out of the market.

Great intro, welcome! She looks like she was very well cared for. Good luck with her, and more pics of the interior when you have a chance please!

Smart move, & smart-looking 993.

Well done & welcome!!!


P.S. If you ever need new stone guards, etc., consider FD Motorsports.
They also have other fun options to help get started down the 'slippery slope'


Also, helpful RLer summaries for new buyers:

I like your garage door "art" and cool idea for doors on those shelves.

Welcome! Is that Peak antifreeze on your shelf? You may find that it is not needed for your 993. :-)

Welcome aboard. And you are probably right on the timing, now or never for many fans of the car.

Welcome, congratulations on your new car !

There's a few other (white) 993 owners in Chicagoland...not that there's anything wrong with that.
