Default Why'd I wait so long to get a 911?

Hi all, new member here. Got my 911 about 3 weeks ago, figure I'd go ahead and post a couple pics. I just wish I hadn't waited so long to pull the trigger and get a 911.

And while I've got your attention, can any recommend an independent shop in Tucson? I bought the car from the dealer, who serviced it it's whole life, so I figure I'll continue that for routine maintenance, but I'll need an independent to do the IMS bearing.

Congrats! Also about three weeks with my new to me Arctic Silver. Looks like you found an excellent example.

Welcome and glad to see the wait is over for you as you seem to have found a perfect match Porsche. Congratulations, sorry I can't recommend anyone in the Tucson area as far as Indy's but the 996 is a great DIY friendly car which I hope you end up having a blast with.

Very nice! What model year is your car? You might have a double row IMS bearing which would be a lesser concern. You might also have a replacement engine with another bearing setup.
