Default Just off the Truck - Introduction
Hi,

I just received my new to me '97 993, Car has 68.5k on the clock, I've owned a number of Porsche's over the years, but never a 993. Still going through the car checking everything out. So far I have found a number of missing screws and decorative caps, but nothing major.

Hope everyone will have patience with me, as I envision a number of questions over the next few weeks.

Artie

Is this your first air-cooled?
In any case, you'll love it. They are the car version of nicotine.

No, numerous years ago I owned a '93 964 which I loved. That car is one of the reasons I purchased this 993. Wanted to get that raw feeling back.
