Yet another new owner/member post
Hi everyone,
I've been a long time reader here, but I just picked up a 1984 carrera and now I feel I can rightfully post.
Is there a list of "good things to know for the new "used" 911 owner" out there somewhere? I've searched, but to no avail.
I don't have any pics of my own yet, but here are some from the ad that I responded to. More pics to come!

Oh, one more thing - I'm looking to add a rear spoiler... but I read somewhere that to have the rear spoiler, it's a good idea to have the front spoiler as well. Can someone confirm (from the first picture above) that the car does indeed have the front spoiler?
Thanks!
Thanks!

83 SC. I'm in the north bay, Novato. How about you?
I wish some of these Type-A organizers around here would put together a Bay Area drive so I can put names to faces...

[QUOTE=laundromatt;7423445]Hi everyone,

I don't see any pictures either.
Wouldn't life be grand if it were that simple. There are hundreds of books on the subject and a similar number of good articles on Pelican Parts web site. Read as much as you can find. Look for a good mechanic or experienced owner who you can lean on whenever you have a question.
The good news is that you can fix almost anything yourself. The bad news is that you'll likely have to! That's the joy of it. I learn something new every day. Have fun!

Those should keep you busy for awhile. I hope your 911 gives you the same thrills I still get out of mine.

Welcome. As noted there are many great bits of info online. There is no way one could answer your question simply. It will take time, but as you follow these boards and post your questions, you'll become wise and have a good time learning your car.

Michael, thanks for the links! That should keep me busy for a while.
I don't know what happened to the pictures... I'll try to upload some tonight.
Anyone else out there from the Bay Area? (I'm in Palo Alto.)
