I will when it gets to my wrench , he will take some great ones, I have a feeling I am going to have to decide between the C2s and the 930, she probably will only let me keep one of them, but I will deal with that when the time comes.

Let your wrench change the transmission fluid and the gear oil.

Some tips if ur never driven a tippy... drive in manual mode most times...if you in traffic or having coffee and on local roads, slip it into third and it will shift at the right rpm. If you think you need more power, supercharge her and she will run by the TT. -> https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum/334954-tried-out-a-supercharged-993-yesterday-wow.html

Thanks for the Tip, no pun intended, well ok, it was intended... I am very familiar with the trans, I have owned just a few P cars, and I have two of them currently.

Oh man the people at Mount Vesuvious had it easy when I told her I bought a silver 930 and the C2s, we have several cars already..... so 930 is already gone, and Micheal is selling the c2s, it needed alot of attention, servicing, wheels repainted etc,etc, but that is done.. I know when to pick my battles and this wasn't it... so yes it is for sale.. Michael is a very good friend and my broker.

I guess we were a little too slow...

Capitalism is great no doubt, but Marriage in some cases is better... look at what we hold now, she has alot of patience.. I took a chance and lost big time, as in the lease on my daily is up soon, and I have been informed we will be looking at wagons or vans... So I think I crossed that line in the sand...now lets see if I can turn this into a Cayenne, although I have too say , they kill you with the options on those damn things... it is hard to make that a better deal than an X5 or a Bimmer Wagon.

I looked at the Cayenne and X5 and the X5 was such a good deal. Porsche have to adjust their options to compete wth BMW, plus the interest rate on the lease was about half the cost at BMW.

Only on a Porsche "enthusiast" website would car flippers be admired.
