Talking Finally picked up my 96 C4S (pix)

After an intolerably long wait, I finally drove it home from Atlanta (to East Tennessee), on a beautiful fall day. When I picked it up, mileage was 23,456 (should I buy a lottery ticket?). Took the back roads home, had a ball. What a great car! My wife greeted me with "That's the biggest grin I've ever seen on your face." (true) Couple of pictures attached--not the greatest, but it was raining this morning and I didn't want to take it out. I will take more in the next couple days. Christmas coming... let's see, I need new exhaust tips, new suspension...

made me remember my first time driving my 993 home from Scotland to London, 6 hours of smiling/grinning

great colour combo, needs some tips though, so stock ones look a tad weedy

If you replace those exhaust tips, you won't have to worry about cleaning them <evil grin>

John...

Congrats on a great selection - Black C4S...Does it get any better

When I got mine about just over 4 years ago, it also had about 23k on the clock. Everyday is a good day when you drive a PCar.

Wow - Congrats very nice. I can understand the fun you had driving back to SE TN, I used to live in Kingsport, what a blast thru the hills. Enjoy!!!
