Default New 993 addition to the family....Sapphire!

Well, Midnight Blue, but I've got a theme going, and I think it works.

I bought an early '95 this evening with the M718 "94" motor option, 40% limited slip and short shift as the key options, besides comfort seats. Cashmere/black interior with about 63K miles. A PCA guy who loved the car and kept it right. I've been looking at a lot of 993's and 996's lately, and this is the most loved I've seen, without going to super low mile/high-high $ offerings. A solid 9-9.4 in condition. Funky replacement gas pedal and Sony stereo the only real mods. More to come as I delve in.

I love Ruby and am glad to see you over here. So, about those 993 mods...

Very cool. I recently sold my Ocean Metallic Blue coupe and I have to say I prefer your color combination over mine, which was Midnight Blue. Have fun!

Thanks, I'm pretty stoked. I keep telling the wife...."no mods" heheheheh. Maybe, just "improvements"?

I do want the car to be my fun trip car, so Ruby will continue to be my hardcore fix, which will take some of the pressure off of this car. But, I'm sure shocks/springs and such need to be looked at as a car approaches 70K?

Glad it's gone to a good home. If I were a little closer to San Diego I would have given you some real competition.
