Default Big day today - picking up '98 4S

...yep...day has finally come.
I wanted to thank the RLers for all the info and all replies on this forum that made it much easier decision to jump into 993 ownership.

I found this car 2 weeks ago, here are more details that some of you probably have seen.

Any tips for the newbie owner are welcome.

Pictures will follow, but here is one:

Enjoy the day!!!! It looks like a nice day for a drive! Make sure you lubricate the hinges on the door to the garage since you will find any excuse to go look at her and admire the curves
Congrats!

Congrats. Your post takes me back to my first 993 which was also a 4S. Amazing day you won't forget. Let us know on Monday how many times you go out to your garage this weekend and just stand there looking.

Yes: drive the snot out of it -- it's just a car (a nice car, but just a car!).

Congrat on the new car. I also bought my Cayenne from SN (Brandon is the sale rep) Good guy and fair price.

Again, Congrat and enjoy the car in a good health!

Default Congrats!

I recently purchased the same model, a '98 C4S. I also have a complete split grille assembly awaiting arctic silver paint, I have been on the fence to put it on but hard not to after seeing the result on yours! Enjoy!
