Default 993 Targa is HERE!!!!

The new (to my wife and me) P car rolled in last night at about 8:00. What an absolute beauty! I can't believe that I finally own a P car! It's really my wifes car but I know i'll get to drive it plenty. The front has the few customary chips that you would expect but otherwise the car is pretty much perfect. The panorama top is amazing, my wife looked a little too hot driving to work in it this am. I'll post up some obligatory pics tonight.

I had some concerns after some of the threads that I read in here and a few peoples comments about dealing with Victory, I can tell you though that my experience was nothing but positive and my concerns proved to be completely unfounded. From my dealings with Robert he was a very straight shooter, sold me exactly what he said he was selling and I couldn't be happier. PPI was solid after the SAI repairs, new clutch - car made 261 at the rear wheels! I figure that must put it at 305-310ish at the crank?

I hope that some AZ people will want to get together and do some drives - can't wait to get the car out and stretch it's legs a bit!

Lovin' the avatar. Enjoy the car, if you can wrestle it from your wife once in awhile. A woman driving a 993 demands attention, attention, attention.

She doesn't DEMAND attention per se...she gets it with no demands at all!! You could always tint the windows anyway (I did...too much attention for me).

Please please please post pics!! She's gonna love the car, absolutely love it!!!

It's a beautiful Targa Day!!

Thats for sure - she's a 5'9" thin blonde. She could get attention in a Yugo. I think I just invited trouble to my front door. She already loves it - called me after she got to work to tell me how amazing it is.

Not trying to be out of line, Adrienne, but you seem to fit that category too.

Congrats, Mr and Mrs. Tisibeast.

Why are we asking a guy who's avatar is Borat in a bathing suit post pictures!?
This frightens me.
More seriously, congrats on the new car; you'll never get over your first one.
