That's one hot lookin' car, and you've given me some hope that my car at 59K mi isn't really high miles at all - it's just breaking it in. With all those 1996-1997 993 garage queens out there for sale with 18k miles, sometimes I feel bad that the car I just got has such "high" mileage. I sometimes feel like if I ONLY waited for a lower mile C4S, I could have gotten a reallllly low mile car vs my higher mile one, albeit for a higher price.

Sweet pics, and nice wheels. You must be one happy camper.

Looking good!!! I LOVE those rims on the 993. My coupe has now 82K miles with the last 1K spend between 5-6000 rpm The engine did not miss a beat, running strong and problem free. In general I'm so impressed of how this car feels so solid, no rattles no squeeks nothing. Goes to show how well built they are and I'm convinced they are going to last my lifetime. Besides I could not imagine my life anymore without my two beauties!
John congrats again on the birthday and the awesome new look!

It is absolutely unbelievable that this beauty turned 95. Probably kilometers, not miles. Happy birthday!

Guys,

Thx for all the great comments... yes there is life after 21... these babies were made to run...

To answer a few questions...

1) "no rattles no squeaks nothing", do have a squeak in the back, I think I am due for a motor mount. Has anyone heard this... can you tell me what it sounds like? It's basiclly high frequency
and happens afater warmup on un-even roads.

2) No he is not in the P-car.. he is in his brothers 325es. Although the Corbeau seats are nice they are definitely for those with younger profiles. Although I am 6' @ 187 lbs., they are still very tight in the mid-section. That said the boys (19/22)love them.

2) No these are miles... we don't know metric here in the states.

Just a note.........Boy am I glad spring is here!!!!

Hey you need to bring some of those guys to the party when my car turns 100K (in less than 2K miles). Great looking car and I can tell you even the "high miles" 993's run really run well with proper maintenance and loving care. Post some more pics when you get those goodies bolted on!
