Default I have a problem...

Since I bought my car two months ago, I've put over 4,000 miles on it... Do I need an intervention?

I love driving this thing!

I'm not driving mine enough either

and not to derail this thread, but I don't recall seeing any glamor pics of the Moffat Mobile

How about a couple of teasers of your beast?

Tim, its funny to me to hear you mention Three Point Motors in Victoria...I bought my 76 911 there in September 1996. Do you know if they're still around?

Not as a Porsche dealer. Speedway Motors is the Porsche Pusher on the island now.

Tim, Thanks for the links/pics. Your car/cars are beautiful. Your avitar does not do the car justice...

So why do you have 2?

Shake, I think it gets worse over time...sorry to say. I have had mine for a year now and strangely, I love driving now more than I did when I got it. These cars really grow on you (or at least it has on me). I look for excuses to go for a drive (yes dear, I will go to the store for you..)

Kind of like going into a bar and asking if you have a drinking problem..... No, $4000 is a good start. Now get some OEM sports seats!

I did the exact same thing on the C4S! It scared me when it got close to 40kmi. That was one of the big reasons for getting the C4, don't feel bad putting on all the miles. So far owning 2 993's for just over 1.5 years, I've done almost 30kmi!

I'll admit that I'm guilty of not driving my car enough...

Okay you guys are right, no pics, my badd, and the other day the car was parked in a way that would have made a perfect picture, but I didn't have my camera

Man, the car just seems to be getting better and better. Ever since I did that suspension work and had my local Porsche dealer do an alignment and adjust the kinematics, the car seems to corner so much better, it's way more predictable.

As far as the pics go, I've got one better, I just ordered one of these the other day:

Pictures, and video, will be served up some time after it arrives on Thursday
