I was wondering where that great looking, well sorted car was going.......... Back home. It couldn't have worked out better! Congratulations!

It is a great thing to have a 'boomerang". Maybe I should call the person in Minneapolis who bought mine 7 years ago.

Enjoy the 2nd time around.

Love hearing stories like this...congrats and welcome back. It'd be great if I could find my last 993...it's wandering the roads of Germany now...

Great! I know the feeling of "wishing you could go back"...It's nice to know that sometimes you can!

Thanks and believe me, I'm glad to be back. The car is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday of next week and I can't wait!

This is the feel-good story of the summer. Welcome home, to both you and the car!

Will do. My wife is excited as I am to have the car back! In fact she said to me that I should keep my '88 as well. I just can't justify having 2 Pcars in the stable at this point. God bless her though for the suggestion!

Thanks Ed. When I saw David's post about possibly selling her, I immediately sent him a PM to see if he was serious. I'm just glad it worked out.

I keep looking at your 88 and thinking how great it would look along side my 95. If I sold the Boxster S, I could..........

Cheers,

I am amazed by your story and it makes me think ever more now that I really can't part with my 993 either. Sometimes I think this or that, but in the end, it's just ME!

Congrats ... again.

I wish I could keep it. The rawness and feel of my '88 makes it really rewarding to drive. I just don't have the garage space and I really can't use it as a daily driver in Chicago...the winters are too harsh.

I completely agree. To me, the 993 is the best looking 911 Porsche made. I'm also partial to the air cooled cars...they just have a soul that's like no other.
