Smile New Owner - First Post
Folks,
this is my first post here. I just bought my very first Porsche. After looking for several months at different models (SC, 964, 993, 996) I decided to go with a 993. I just love the classic look of the 993 as opposed to the 996. It took me several more weeks to find the right one, but I finally found it and made my purchase.
What a great car. I can't believe I waited so long before buying a 911. The handling is just amazing.

Congratulations and welcome. Nice choice on color btw. Only a couple of weeks to find one? That's pretty quick, you need to help Magdaddy.

Welcome. What's the name of that colour?

I went through almost the same 911 short list as you did, before deciding on a 993.
