I've been researching 996's since last fall. I've looked at 5 or 6 that met my requirements, 3 ppi's later I've found the one! 02 seal grey over black draped 6speed, low miles, (37k) well documented maintenance, long time owners, second owner has had it since 2013. A few tasteful mods and a couple of nice factory options. Owner is a PCA member that answered my WTB in marketplace. I fly to Orlando in the morning! Very excited!
A serious thank you to all the members here, I learned A lot from your posts.

Seriously Mike. Great starting post, then....
No link to the ad, so we can’t see the vehicle
No discussion of the drive home, so we can’t suggest roads
No explanation of the mods, so we can’t comment
Please try to update the thread soon!

Wow, beautiful example of a 996! Great choice to drive home! In addition to the Tail of the Dragon, try to sneak through Marietta Ohio. 26 out of Marietta is my favorite road, but a little out of the way for you. 555 is a little more in line and an amazing road as well. Enjoy!

26 is fantastic! Do drive it, regardless of how out of way it is.

I'm just south of Atlanta, hungry and getting tired. Needless to say I didn't sleep very well last night! This car is a blast ! Cruising 85mph, nice and smooth!

Congrats!

Best color combo.

Hope you can fix those calipers, eventually.
