Default To paraphrase Katy Perry: "I saw a 996 - and I liked it!"

This evening on the way home, I found myself behind a Guards Red, badge delete 996. (The rear spoiler was huge, some variant of a GT or whatever - I'm not up on the various designs.)

After passing it (I was driving the truck, but I still go fast, I guess), I saw it was a facelifted, MY02+ with aerokit and that it was filled with several pretty blonde girls - one even crammed into the back seat.

Knowing that this thread would be useless without pics (and pretty pointless, no matter what) I whipped out my camera, but alas, they turned off on a side street before I could coast back and take a shot.

Anyway, just thought I'd share - and confess that a water pumper captivated me for a few moments.







Or maybe it was just the girls.

If 996's came filled with pretty blonde girls, they would definitely be more desirable than 993's.

My buddie just bought an 02 cab with a turbo bumber and rear wing, and I must say.. it looks pretty good.

Ed, don't worry, it was the blonde girls that confused you. It's called 996 camouflage...

Look at your beautiful car for 10 minutes before you go to bed tonight and you'll be fine tomorrow.

I would never sell my 993 for a 996 - but I could maybe see adding a 996TT!

Well, 996 = super chill A/C, good MGP, larger interior space, Toyota maintenance cost, occasional engine blow up, RMS leak, people think it's a ricer car. In all it's all good!

Ed,

Looks like it's time for an intervention...

However, I'd go for a 996 GT3 in a heartbeat. They are far different animals than a regular 996.

It's okay if you had a friend with a 996 who let you drive it once in a while - and you liked it.

Remember, she kissed a girl, but she didn't switch teams...
