I loved that scene / car as well, but I have always thought the 993TT to be my favorite styling of Turbo to date. Maybe he did too.

Maybe the OP will clear that up for us....
Absolutely knew the Bad Boys car was a 964, but I def prefer the styling of the 993.

Waiting for some delicious fall weather so I can take this baby into the mountains and enjoy!

Yup. I figured you did.


Yes, Fall is the best time. Just have to be careful with the leaves and pine straw in the roadway.

My first Porsche, and my first black car! Should be fun knowing I love to keep my cars clean.
Thanks all for the kind words, itching to stretch this baby's legs..
