Welcome aboard and congratulations on your new 996, it looks great! The drive back must've been amazing 1. The roads 2. Scenery 3. Driving your own 911

Thanks, guys Yes, the scenery with those twisty roads and curves really does it.


As for the exhaust tips, I wasn't sure if was a part of the X-51 kit, PSE or some other sports exhaust. It sure does look and sound good. I think the stock ones simply are too small.


Hopefully, I'll have time to address the window issue this friday.

Well done mate, hope you get many years of enjoyment out of it and do hit the Trollstigen as it's fun but can be challenging due to weather, etc. I loved visiting Norway, great people, scenery, food, just about everything.

All of us living the dream. I drove my Corvette ZR1 home today and parked it behind my 996. I've thought about selling all of my cars to buy something newer and faster but I wouldn't love it as much. The cars I love most are the ones I wanted when I was younger and couldn't afford them. Now thanks to depreciation and a great job, I have a variety of cool cars to choose from.

Congrats! I am living my dream as well. I am debt free at 35, own my house, got my 911, and now just enjoying it, while working towards 911 Turbo as the next phase.
