As with most, I have been lurking for quite awhile and have only posted a few times. It took me a little longer than most to find the car that I wanted (almost 2 years). Mainly because it took that long to convience my wife that I needed another toy.

Anyway, I want to think everyone for such a great forum. I have learned a great deal about the 993's and the passion that their owners have for them.

The car had 43K on it when purchased. Pretty basic, but works for me. Wasn't sure about the Tip, but the more I drive it the more I like it. I look forward to being a member of Rennlist for a long time. Also, want to thank Marc Shaw for helping me get the pictures sized for this post and my avatar.

Best Regards to all,

Hi Rick, welcome. As you indicated you've been following RL I'm sure you've found lots of good info already. Hope you stick around and get even more out of your Porsche experience.
OBTW good for you for waiting for "the right one" to come along.
P.S. LOVE the color!

Hey Rick,

Welcome and congrats on your beautiful car. I think there is another RL member in your area with a 993TT. I am a WSU alumni so spent many nights partying in the Tri-city area and the boat races every year. Good luck and enjoy.

Great looking cab. I like the color combo a lot. Nice to see something a little different. At first I thought it might be Zenith blue....

"Wasn't sure about the Tip, but the more I drive it the more I like it."

Hi Rick - Welcome to the Cab / Tip club! Keep the big grin on and don't let the 6 speeders get you down. Life in our cars is pretty darn good, and getting better with every drive. Hope you drive it like you stole it and continue to enjoy every mile.

Best wishes
