OP, congrats on your new SC. She looks nice. I like that color. It sounds like we have similar sentiments. All of my cars keep getting older and older. The list of some of the mistresses is below in chron order from most recent to oldest in ownership. I daily my SC and get a thrill getting into the driver seat every time. Enjoy the miles. I'm sure you will.
I plan on installing SSIs and a new exhaust soon. Supposedly you will get a good bang for the buck with this mod on the SC's based on what I've read and been told. Cheers. Jim

Well, it is too bad your buddy didn't have a 3.2 Carrera, but you at least got the second best series. 
Welcome!
Perhaps I'll see you at a C&C soon. You may want to make it down our way for an assault on Palomar Mtn some time. We should be getting close to being in season for that, and we get a VERY interesting assortment of German and Italian cars, with a couple of others thrown in for good measure.

I want to argue with Ed's comment, but I can't! I prefer an SC hands-down over an 87-89 Carrera with G50, but have never driven an 84-86 so have no clue what I am missing...
Anyway, congrats on the Weissach purchase. I have always admired that car. I tend to buy Porsches and hold on to them, but still miss my SC. I hope to find a "sorted" SC in coming years. Enjoy yours!

I agree smshirk. I liked my Boxster, Mk1 996 and Mk2 996 as cars. Certainly better than most other choices in automobile. They just became transportation to me after awhile and I wanted to get back that special feeling that just seems to be there when I drive the earlier cars.
Not sure it matters as I plan to drive the Weissach every day, but who do you insure through and for how much? I at least want to get stated value insurance to ensure that I do not get book value if something where to happen.
Thanks in advance!
