jbryan,
Its sure funny how we all have so many connections. "Never flip anyone off on the freeway; they know your mother". I've often said that if I didn't own my Turbo R, I'd be out shopping for a GT3. Great cars, and with the Ruf suspension bits, it must be amazing. But oh my I do love my Turbo R!

Scott since you got your wheels Can I have your sway bars?
(inside joke here!) I didnt read the whole thread but keeping your wheels and getting a new set seems like the right thing to do. I hope thats what happened.
Since I have your attention Scott and Mr Mellor and Steve OFE.
Here is a HUGE announcement. Some of you know I have had
ONE twin Turbo 993 ONE 996 GT3 and ONE 997 GT3. I had to
sell all my Porsches because of my back. Well now I have a
AMG C63. I can get in and get out. Anyway Merritt said I could
get a 993 TT after my surgery!! might be awhile to make sure
everythings honky dorry with our finances given the world meltdown
but thats my plan. Might have to make it a RUF 993

Eclou, Arena red has always been #1 in my heart. Steve OFEs is just a beautiful example.
I think Mods and options may trump color POLAR Silver is just awesome when the Cowboys
were a Pro level football team.
Just a thought came up, if financially its still tight when I come into the market, and things continue the way they are going I MAY have to consider the 996 TT. If things continue the 996 TT maybe 10K cheaper than the 993. What do you guys think about that.
Gene will I be able to sit in a lower car with this flexible fusion procedure? Thats the deal breaker.
I am talking about next summer too, I wont be properly healed till next spring then I will start looking.
I dont think there are any arena red 996 TTs. I dont know much about them but that their cheaper.
Now that I know how to detail a car like a pro, BLACK might not be bad!! I can correct paint jobs now.

Tony - Come back to SoCal and you can try them out anytime.
Paul - No sway bars at this time but you are welcome to the vast collection of other worthless Porsche stuff I have. If you do decide to look for another 993, the search is a blast.
Steve - Yes I am returning my Mg wheels unless someone wants to buy them. Basically, I either return the Mg wheels or pay for the alum. ones. The only upside is that the rears are now 11's.
ooohhh shiny wheel pic
