I am in San Antonio. I did not like the carbon fiber at first, but after a day or so it is growing on me. The leather iterior work is really nice though, pretty much everything that is not CF is leather - vents, CD holder, everything.
One issue I have is that the seats are wider than standard and the drivers have rubbed the carpet on the consule area.
Thank you for the nice comments - what a blast to drive!

Three Wheelin'
That's why we're here. Most of us have owned and driven faster, more modern, better handling, more comfortable... or rawer, more extreme, louder, rougher cars.
But the 993 keeps our attention, reaches out to us, calls our name and takes our hand and makes us love her. Just when you may be having second thoughts, when your attention and interest may wander, she takes you down a special road and you think--what combination of engineering and passion made this happen? This is not just a car, it is a perfect anachronism, where the flaws disappear somehow into the perfect, period whole, and the end of the experience leaves you wondering where else they could go, after creating the 993?

Bart - I know you are semi-kidding, but I may actually want to trade for factory. These are great for driving, but I am about on the top side of the height curve for them....they are a little hard for life. I might be posting to trade in a few weeks...got to let it simmer

I have all of the receipts, the first owner was a fanatic. When he has the turbo rear ducts added, he made them do a full repaint. While I really question the sanity of this, I have all of the pictures with the body panels off. At the Porsche stearlership they said he had theglass replace 2 times (at his expese) in 3 weeks because or nicks in te windshield - that is insane. With the money he spent he easily could have bought a turbo out of the box.
I apprieciate the nice comments, the black on black color combo is very nice. I have hd 2 red ones with cashmere interior and I really liked them, but after 2 I needed a change. I really like the yellow C4S for sale with those gold wheels on this site - I never would have thought that I would like a yellow car - but that car is stunning.
