Default OMG - I fell in love with the 993 again tonight!

I just sold my 96 cab and bought a 96 Black on Black C4S - what a car! 60K, many options. I will try to post pics, but I don't know how to make them show - I will post one link then post more when someone replies and helps with the correct img thing to put in front of the link.....

The car has many upgrades/mods, from Turbo spoilers to Euro front bumper with S-air ducts to rear 1/4 panel turbo ducts in the back. Litronic headlights, complete carbon fiber, complete full leather interior (including gauge bezels), M030, etc, etc. Oh my, what a blast. Hated the seats for about 1 hour, after a few dismounts - I love them! Oh - 18" chrome tubo wheels, 11 inch in back....yikes

Here is one pic - more when I figure out how to post correctly!

I fell in love with the 993 again
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?

RallyJon, I've felt just that way. I catch myself closing the door to the laundry room, opening it back up and looking back into the garage at that beautiful sculpture called a 993.
You said it most eloquently...Thank you!

+1...Congratulations Kcreager1
