I like the reflector stripe on those 4S's. Retro!

It's one of the first things that I saw. I wonder how happy the local police would be if they saw the plate upside down? I do like the idea, though.

Larpy,

I wish that was my plate, but it is just some simple art work thanks to MS Paint.

If that was truely my vanity plate, I would have no problem rocking it upside down. If I were to get a ticket, it would be due to other reasons than a how my plate was mounted. Besides, I have no problem supporting my local attorney to contest on my behalf.

Thanks guys. I am not falling into that 'mod' mindset. After I have fitted some new shoes, treated the exterior paint & some other cosmetic imperfections, I am thinking about some basic mods such as suspension, intake and possibly some other goodies.... Until then, I will be searching for intel

Nice looking car! Not a bad start in the P-car world.

It does look like it needs a good detail, black & swirl marks don't mix.

Stealth & HHChin, thanks! I do spend a fair amount of time at Vivace. I always seem to end up there if its on motorcycle, bicycle and now, 996.

I like to know some of other PCar enthusiasts in the Puget Sound area. Do you guys know of any gatherings in the near future? It would be cool to meet up and floss

Here is pic from yesterday:

Vivace is a great place! But parking sucks.

There is a PCA Auto-X on Saturday in Bremerton. I'm going to place 1st in class this year if it kills me!

Pelican has a pretty active PNW regional board. There are a couple monthly gatherings, and an upcoming tour and dyno day being planned.

Maybe we should all just descend on Kie's shop one evening. Anyway, oMenRC51, nice ride!

Default JAWHOL!

Okay. The reality has sunk in after putting just over one-thousand miles in less than 10 days. I am stoked as ever and thinking to myself, "...this is the perfect daily driver!"

I am super happy and recent pics to come with the transformation of the 'POS' to the 911.

BTW- No interaction with the state patrol or local 5.0...as of yet.
