Default Dipping my toe into the water cooled world...new to me GT3

The GT3 has been on my "want" list for awhile, but air cooled affinity and desire for a back seat for my two little boys has prevented a purchase.

First, I convinced myself that bonding would be even more special when I take a son 1-1 in the car ,

Second, I heard/read lots of research that air cooled fans will not be disappointed with the GT3 experience and candidly I couldnt find the ultra pristine widebody 993 that would interest me.

So, a new-to-me GT3 is on it's way from Portland, OR. Purchased from a Rennlister so feel very good about that.

2011 GT3, Carrara White/Black, 4500 miles, original MSRP $135k
Axle lift, dynamic motor mounts, PCM, factory black wheels, and much more. I am excited. I will certainly still be a lurker here on the 993 board, and if anyone comes across a black interior, but no black exterior, ultra pristine 993 C2S/4S manual tranny, please let me know, I still might be interested!

thanks Mooty...already sliding down the cliff... new floor mats, new Michelin Pilot Super Sports, and other goodies in transit and I dont have the car yet

where I am really going to get in trouble is the sport bucket seats...they are already in my head, I am screwed, because I suspect I am not able to resist those for long...

Dipping of the toe LOL maybe if it was a 1999 996

This is more of a high dive into the deep end!

Looks amazing, enjoy!!!
