Default Midnight Blue 993 Turbo S spotted - Bellevue, WA

As luck would have it, I happened upon a very minty 993 Turbo S today (Seattle metro-area): Midnight Blue, classic gray interior, black dash, sport seats, WA plates... A real beauty. Is it a rennlisters by any chance?

Thought I would share some iPhone pictures...didnt have my regular camera with me.

So people really drive these things on actual streets?

Very nice car. It's the holy grail 993 for me. You must have been super surprised to see one. I've never seen one in the wild, only at dealer showrooms.

When the sun comes out up here, everyone brings out their toys... Quite literally every imaginable exotic car can be seen in this area - if you watch long enough. Yah, I definately did a double take...

I would expect that if you follow the money, most roads lead back to Microsoft and Boeing; maybe a handful of Starbucks millionaires...

Was that @ Barrier? I know a few 993TTS's around! Some of them are driven.

Yes, we get a nice day, & all kinds of things come out of garages! Can't wait to take the C4S out today!

That Blue TT effen HOT! Where did you see her?

OT- Yesterday, I finally took delivery on my 04 C4S and put about 150 miles on her. I was bombing around from King to Snohomish county. I terrorized Newcastle/Renton, Isle of I-90, Ballard, South Snohomish County, Belltown (ugh) and Queen Anne. Interesting I noticed how my petrol gauge went from 4/4 to 2/4 within a matter of hours....

Yes, I agree. Yesterday was a great day.

I've seen a couple of TurboS coupes down at Barrier Porsche in for service, this one and a white one.

Generally if the weather forecast is nice, come down to Redmond Towne Center on a Saturday morning at around 7:30 and you'll see a group of guys that will bring their exotic toys down to display in the parking lot. It'll amaze you to see what people have in their garages!

We should all head down there for a 993 meet, it would sweet to see 10-20 993's there!

My only problem is it's very early, & it's tough to get all the way up there that early in the morning. But it does go till about 10am.

I would be down for a 993 gathering at RTC. We should probably notify Tommy who puts the Exotics at RTC together if we plan on joining.
