Default I am back..with the same car:)

Hi, I sold my 993 to Rick Sylvestri in CA who then sold it to a friend here in NH three years ago...Well, I bought it back today. After I sold my 993 I bought a 996 C4S which I liked very much then traded it for some cash and a sweet 964 C4 which I took a deposit on today. I still have my Pedros ice wax

My car now has 112k on it and I was wondering what I might be on the lookout for in terms of trouble areas. I drove it for a while today and apologized for selling her and that I would keep her forever
The RSR mufflers still sound awesome!

My paper temp plate blew off in the car wash and I drove by the NH State Police aviation building and was immediately pulled over.....Might as well get that out of the way!

Congrats. I LOVE the Euro bumper, clear corners, and stock fog lights. Looks awesome!

Is it a C4 or did someone paint the calipers?

Threads like this are very reassuring to guys like me (first time 993 owner) who made the jump from another / newer type of P-Car to these....congrats.

Great story and welcome back with beautiful car.

Same question someone else had -- what's up with the chrome calipers? I've never seen that before but I'm a newbie to 993s. Were they an option on some models?

That is great! Congrats, probably like putting on your favorite pair of shoes that fit perfect. It just feels right.
