Just hit 107k miles on my 2000 cab, still loving this car and it runs great. Looking forward to a big roadtrip in June with my son to Vancouver! Drive on!

Had mine out after all the winter maintenance and a fresh set of coil overs. These cars really can hold their own even at the age that they are!

Rock on!

That's awesome!

I just went for a drive that was literally 2 miles. In that time I passes a parked 2000 cab, saw a 68 coupe, pulled up next to a 97 cab (and said "nice color" to the driver, same color as mine.)

Porsches everywhere! Too bad I taught my daughter the "punch Porsche" game, she had plenty of punches for me.

Ahh, spring. When Porsches come out of hibernation and start to flock :-)

That'll be a great drive up the coast!

Nice car Chris. What part of California do you live? Just made a deal for an 04 and having it delivered to California.
Enjoy the ride.

Got mine out this weekend for the first time after winter! Yep, still loving her too!

This was the first opportunity to drive her after upgrading the M030 setup to new Koni FSD and Eibach springs. The Eibachs was not a voluntary choice (the front shocks were 15mm too long for the M030 springs) but now the rear dropped about 20mm which I think looks much better. Ride is great!

Got my 2000 cab out for a couple of days last week after driving my 03 turbo all winter and was surprised how much I really liked driving the 2000 still - I did try a merging maneuver that would have been easy in the turbo that was a bit to much to ask of the 2000

Guess that's one of the advantages of living here in CA (the only advantage I can think of) is that I get to drive my car any day of the year. Not sure I could let it sit for months at a time or I should say not be able to drive it.
