Intro: Finally found my Porsche - Arena Red C2S
After 2 years of searching, I found my 97 993 Carrera S 15 miles from me. Arena red wasn't #1 on the list, but the car was too nice to pass up. It looked and mechanically felt like a new car. It had 21k miles, 99% stock and a owner that appeared to have OCD. It was a done deal
After getting the exterior done and a little interior detailing myself, I drove down to http://www.werksreunion.com/ wiped the car down and took best in class for 911 91-98 That was pretty sweet.
The 993 was the other realistic 'dream' car I wanted next to my E30 M3 and I couldn't be happier. The biggest thing I notice is the amazing build quality. The car is so solid. And boy does she hunker down and go when you put your foot down at the apex. Only regret was why I didn't buy a TT 2 years ago when I started looking...

Thanks everyone! Looking forward to enjoying her for a long time. Only the E30 M3 and the 993 are mine. Lucky to find this spot in SF.
I believe that is a vista cruiser. There is a real interesting assortment of cars, including a AMC Pacer, Grand National, 2 old school VW buses, honda civic from the 70s and an abarth 595 tribute.
