Default Happy to be one of you now...

My new BB should be in the Garage tomorrow night...

Have been in withdrawal since I sold my 2002 Protomotive TT...



Feels good to be back in the fold...





Oh boy I don't think I will blend in like the Silver TT

Oh, very nice!

But you'll have to give us the specification! And since you seem to have a good taste in mods. Any plans for "mechanical enhancements"?

Very nice car... I saw it advertised. So did you manage to get Marshall Goldman down on price..??!!! I've heard that they don't like to negotiate.

Thats a great looking car, and the best colour ever made.
Mind you, your last car was hardly a slug!

Mods... Hmmm..

Well I ordered HRE 598R's matte black centers and barrels with 4" rear lip, 2" front before it even was shipped.. Nothing else planned YET...

The sticker is off the rear for those that saw it.. That was part of the deal before it shipped. It was the Sales managers personal car for the last 30 months so that is why it was there.

I have been looking for a several months and I feel I got the car for a fair price.. Yes they did negotiate and were pretty easy to work with. I have a friend that knows 2 people that have bought from them before.

Should be here tomorrow sometime... It's going to be raining

Will post a few pictures when I get the wheels on in a few weeks.

Glad to be posting on rennlist again...

Yeah I miss that car... Bought it new... 600+ HP was fun 1000CC bikes were very surprised once I was on boost..

Todd does great work at Protomotive.. Had other tuners on it before and once the Protomotive mods were on it ran like a top.. Never 1 issue.

Car is in good hands in Chicago now....

Gary,

Your new baby looks great, and obviously I have a bias for the 993TT. But I wonder what would compel you to part with that super 996TT? That is also a very, very awesome machine.

Good question.. I had it for 5+ years and just decided to sell it one day about 2.5 years ago.. Sad I did, but also glad I did before the market really tanked. I can't imagine what I would get for it today.. It was bad enough then with all the 996TT's they produced.. The guy that bought it said if it didn't have 34K on the odometer he would have thought it was a new car inside and out...

I'm a little **** about my cars I guess lol....

Oh and by the way I love Arena Red... Had an 2000 C2 in Arena Red one of my all time favorite colors...

Congrats! You won't remember the 996 after you've driven the 993!

First, nice buy!

Second, is that what those guys told you?


Then that sales manger has a lot of personal cars...
