Default WHOO, MY NEW 88 Coupe

I finally made it happen. I am now the the proud owner of an 88 Red/Tan. My first porsche!!

For those who posted below regarding the noisy valves on PPI, the leakdown came back excellent and the valves are completely quiet after being adjusted. The car is running great.

I spent yesterday, ALL of yesterday, driving with a big grin on my face.

I will post pics here very soon. Thanks to everyone for all the help.

Talking Congrats

I know how you feel. I bought my first Porsche last month. Any time my wife can't find me she checks the garage. There she finds me with a big grin on my face staring at my prize.

Congratulations Seronde! I know the feeling.

I have done a few cosmetic things to my car since it's arrival. Today I washed and waxed it and changed out the blown rear speakers.

Certainly a rewarding driving experience.

Why'd you get that POS when you could have had an SC?? j/k. Great car. I wanted red/tan but had to settle for red/black.

Default How'd that get there?

I've had my first Porsche for about two months and I'll go out to the garage sometimes and see the car sitting there and feel a little shocked for a minute ... wondering how that thing got there!
