Default Bought 993 TT from RList member and took it on a 2,300 mile road trip..

A few months ago I bought this 31k mile '96 993 TT in my favorite color combination and decided to take it on a road trip I've always wanted to do. We spent seven days covering 4 states and I'm happy to say the car ran flawlessly. Didn't encounter a single problem and I was really impressed how comfortable the car was. PSS10 suspension but pretty much the rest of the car is stock. This is a car I can live with for a very long time and do nothing except drive, properly maintain and watch it age gracefully. It's getting rarer and rarer to see these out on the roads today, but they sure are fun to drive. Here are a bunch of very amateur pictures I took along the way. Hope you enjoy.

Nice to see it being used rightfully!

That's one thing about the TT's they are comfortable enough for road trips in fairly stock form. PSS10s are one of the best street coilovers you can get too, so nice to have that on the car already.

Congrats.

How dare you put 2,300 miles on your car and enjoy it! Don't you know you're to let it sit and collect value for the next owner!

Awesome picts! What a great time too! Keep driving

Great trip pictures. Glad you are enjoying the car. Just picked up a '96 yesterday and had PSS10's installed.
