It must be an ancient Chinese secret. I use "Forever Black".

 

Aerospace 303 for me.

 

Actually, I just use good old Armor All and try to minimize the time the car is in direct sunlight.

 

I plan on keeping my 911 and my kids and I are building our own memories with the car. It's great to see such a sentimental car stay in the family.

 

Armour All!! No Way! Wouldn't have guessed it.

 

Love the rims. Those Ruf rims are the only ones I like as much as Fuchs on the earlier 911s. Beautiful car, all around.

 

Beautiful car, but then I am partial to GP White. Who's pedals are those? I really like them.

Great condition on a car with that mileage also.

Very nice car and the Ruf rims are sweet. Its fuchs or Ruf rims for me. I have fond memories of my dads 911's. His 89 targa was my fav. First 911 I ever drove. Would love to find it today, I think.

 

Wow!!!! love the car and the provenance is terrific. Never part with it or you will rue the day.

Thanks for compliments. If my kids don't want the car I'll have my wife bury me in it when I die. Having it leave the family is inconceivable to me. It looks like it has about 100,000 fewer miles and runs/drives like new. I feel really lucky that my dad took such good care of it. I couldn't possibly count how many times I washed it growing up but he's really the one who deserves credit for its condition.

The pedals are Rennline. They always have an ad in Panorama. One of the minor changes I made after purchasing the car. I like them and the kit actually allows you to raise the throttle pedal a bit (helpful for those of us with room to improve in the heal and toe department).

 

Beautiful car and compelling story. Did you own both the 996 TT and the 911 contemporaneously? I always flirt with the idea of buying a TT, but I currently have 2 Porsches and, were I to buy one, one of them would likely have to go. Why did you sell your TT?

 

Awesome! that car doesn't look like its age! You must have love it more than yourself! lol amazing car with an awesome driver!! Still can't believe how you did it!!

GP White with Ruf wheels....wowza looks awesome!

 

Again, thanks for the compliments. Yes, I owned the tt andt he Carrera at the same time. My dad was thinking of selling the Carrera because he needed the money and he wasn't driving it. I think he had always hoped that I would end up with it so it made sense at that time to buy it. It still doesn't get driven much but I do drive it hard at times and I love the thought of owning it.

The twin turbo was absolutely incredible. It was my daily driver and functioned well in that regard. I guess I always just felt a little guilty about how much money I was spending to own it vs. the few miles that I actually put on it. On top of that, I'm expecting another child so needed a little better back seat (bought an M3) and I wanted to get my debt:income looking a little better because I'd really like to snap up a property or two in this down real estate market. They really are incredible cars, especially for the going prices on them these days. My wife is pretty confident that I'll be shopping for another one before too long but I do like not having a car payment right now.
