Thanks for all the compliments on the car. I keep asking myself why I didn't buy one sooner. Then I remember, I was too poor (still am but to a different degree).

Hey... now that's a good reason I hadn't thought of. May try that out.

Welcome! Love the rennlist 993 crowd.... great group of enthusiasts.

Welcome Frank!

I live in Dallas and occasionally get a group together for coffee/drive. We are due for one soon. PM me your email address and I will add you to the list!

And if you need some local shop recommendations or help doing some DIY stuff, we are here to help! There are several 993 guys around.

Congratulations on the new ride and welcome to the board! Looks great.

Aluminum pedals could also make the "safety" list. BTW - the list is endless.

A louder exhaust will inform those around you of your impending arrival, therefore keeping them more alert...another SAFETY tip!

Welcome Frank!

Superchargers Tell her that YOU will feel safer if the car has a supercharger so that when SHE is driving the Porsche she can pull away from idiots that are hitting on her because she's a hottie in a Porsche... (You'll get compliment points out of that...)

Yes, we've been working on our own economic stimulus package here for quite some time now.
