Default Belated Introduction

Long-time lurker and over-due for a proper introduction. I've enjoyed and learned so much from these forums over the years.
After an initial mid-life crisis import of a 06 Carrera S (should have kept it)... at the end of last summer I found my dream 1992 C2 964.
The car is a well-documented one-owner completely stock car and after some back and forth with the local Porsche dealer I took the risk and bought it sight unseen. Flew down to Minnesota and drove it home over 1,000 miles in two days and enjoyed every minute of it. Hope to be a more active member going forward.

This was the first dealer pic I saw when I knew the car would be mine.

Thanks, couple thousand miles so far. From the old ball glove smelling leather to the mix of gasoline and oil, every drive is a pleasure.
Planning to enjoy stock for the first full season then I may do the suspension/wheels etc.

Congrats and nice find!

Driving for some time is always a good way to establish a good baseline and then figure out what could use improvement....if anything.

Enjoy in good health and put up some more pics when you can.

Welcome!
Great drive home, best way to start your relationship.
Always nice when people step up and share their 964 experience. I lurked for a long time also, and look at my post count now!
Good mod plan. Get to know it, then you know what both of you need going forward (if anything).

Thanks guys. I'm really enjoying the car in stock form for now.
Bought some reconditioned 18" ACP Jara Cup wheels (like turbos without the bolts).
Plan is to try these next season once I figure out the suspension.
