993pbug... That is so cool. You're making some great memories for both of you. All four of my kids first car was a stick and in another 4 years I'll be teaching my granddaughter to drive a stick.... in the 993!

Promise I won't tell anyone....did you wait until your kids were 16 and had a permit or license...or did you start sooner than that? If so, how and where? (I.e. parking lots, back roads, etc.?)

My father, A"H, used to let us steer, starting around age 12, but that was in the days of bench front seats. And then I am sure we started driving on roads around age 14 or 15 in a stick.

I have a very responsible girl who will turn, I can't even believe I'm writing this, 15 in a few months, and she's keen to learn to drive a stick.

Curious, which MT do you believe would easier/better to learn in, 993 or 981 Cayman?

Seems to me that 993 is definitely more analog and therefore likely easier, as it's more raw.

Took the car into work and hooked it up to a mass spec machine to find an AC leak via helium sniffing.

The highest signal (big enough to dump the pressure in a couple weeks) was around the evaporator area.

Guess I'm in for a sweaty summer and a winter working on the AC.....

Replaced all pads (Hawk) and bled the system.

^Which Hawk pads did you use? Thinking about replacing mine as well. I assume you had stock pads before. How do the Hawks compare? Thanks!

I have a 96 993 Targa (mil. 40,400) here are the Hawks part #:
HB141Z.650 (front)
HB170Z.650 (rear)
Pads I had were all original, did the unglue trick by prying the back of the pads with a knife.
I haven't had a chance to bed in the pads, I'll be doing that sometime tonight; some Porsche owners have good results with Hawks, that's the reason why I went with it.
Good luck

Took my 993 and GF to the Sjögestad Motell. Silver and narrow hips as you can see!

Lots of corona related vacansies!

I'm about 25 minutes from there on the 75 side. Fun road.

New sets of Boots for the Targa; we'll see if these will really prevent flat spots.

I live roughly 30-45 minutes south of it. Just a straight drive up Preston Rd. I hate Preston Rd.
