Absolutely beautiful car - you've got to be very happy. I've got your twin in Speed Yellow and couldn't be happier. <img src="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/RS1.jpg" alt=" - " />

I am well aware of your car. I have a picture of it on my pillow. I kiss it goodnight every evening before I fall asleep. Such a beautiful color and car.

I think I paid too little as well.

Dont get me wrong I love my car and think I got a good deal on it. I just didn't get the swingin' outrageous good deal that you did. Congrats to you for that. Your car is beautiful.

Awesome car.
I can say that because I sold the exact twin to another O.C. (Newport Beach) guy this past summer. Boy do I miss having that wide @ss in my garage.

Have Mark put the ROW springs on it. Glacier White lowered is like putting 50lbs. on J-Lo.

Mark,
Awesome car!!!
This car looks like the one that joined us in a South Bay Drive (Rocky Cola-P.V.) a few months ago. I remember the owner was from O.C. Not too many clean aero-kit equipped white 993's looking like this, so i wouldn't be surprised.
Maybe you can join us on our next drive.

Hope to see you around the SoBay

Congratulations, Mark!

Like quite a few people here, I'm not a fan of white cars but your car looks especially beautiful. I also think your rear spoiler sets off your car very well, particularly from the rear. It makes your car look racy but not overly outrageous.

Have fun!

Unreal!. Now that's a car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

I'll take those terrible factory speakers off your hands if you change them out. I've been looking for another factory set.

BTW: For a head unit I recommend Nakamichi, Alpine, or Blaupunkt navigation. Harmon navigation is very good also.

There is great thread going on now about stereo upgrades.

Fantastic looking car! Congrats!! When you install the DAS bar on your cab, just watch out for the right rear driling bit. The battery cable runs underneath the insulation, if you are not carefull you can have some nice fireworks!

You can have them. E-mail me. I plan on installing new speakers, etc. in the next two weeks. I am going with Alpine. I have a great (relative) setup in the cab and will probably duplicate it.

Danny:

Tony Callas, my mechanic will be doing it. There is no way I trust myself with safety equip. Thanks for the heads-up.

Mike:

Diff. car. The PO lived in Palm Springs. Hopefully that car will show up at the next RC breakfast/drive.

GO BUCS!

Mark,

Beautiful car. You did not pay too much. I paid slightly more for my glacier white/black 97 C2S with 15K and no aero kit two months ago(not that I would have paid more for the aero kit, but it's a nice bonus). I do not have buyers remorse. I am very happy with my purchase, but I agree with Randy. You got a very good buy. I was not looking for white either, but ever time I look at my car, the more I like the color combo. It's absolutely gorgeous, and I think it's a little understated which I like.

Enjoy your new purchase. I'm enjoying mine.

Mark,

I'm glad to hear you like the car. Let us know if we can do anything else! Seems to me that a lot of people posting think you got a really good deal. Brack wants his dollar back! Just kidding. Enjoy the car.

Brilliant - this is the first white car that I can honestly say that I like the look of. Enjoy your endless hours with J-Lo (I know I do!)

Mark: beautiful.

hahahahaha. Im laughing because I was the one who bought Tom's car. Its gorgeous if I do say so myself.

I took my car in to Hergesheimers for an oil change the day you, Mark, had your PPI done. I saw it, very nice.

Mine is nearly identical. You need to get the ROW springs on it - it will look awesome - big difference!

Here is mine:
