I really like red on these cars as well, that sounds like a nice catch!

I remember buying this red MK1 aero at a small dealership at the far end of Nashville! I wonder if it was around the same time!

Small world Bill. Glad you got a great deal. Even back then I thought it was a slamming good deal on an aero. Today, you should be able to see a lot more than you paid. But I remember thinking the Mk1 Aero was about the sharpest of all 996. I like the Mk2 GT3, but the Mk1 Aero just looks right. Hope you continue to enjoy that car for many years to come.

Hilarious. I ordered a Lunar Rock TRD Pro 4runner a month and a half ago. Should arrive in the next few weeks at some point. Trading in my GX460 for it.

Wow, so many of us with similar fleets!! What else is out there??

Besides my new to me 996, I also have a 1966 Corvair (affectionately known by the family as the Ice Cream Machine) and a vintage air-cooled Westfalia Vanagon (Allan) that we still camp regularly in.

Let's see what ya all got!!

Just my daily, 2015 VW Touareg TDI Lux with some goodies. Love that VW Vanagon… passed up a semi clean Synchro like a dumbass back in 2012.





Mods:

Pre facelift OEM flares
OEM brush guard/lip
ABT spoiler
Vorsteiner VFF 103 wheels
18Z Brembo upgrade
Malone Stg 2 Tune

And for the reason we’re all here, my 996.2 with GT Aero and some other upgrades.

Our fleet consists of my ‘99 C2 (silver/red) and my wife’s ‘88 560SL (black/tan). Not very practical, but fun.

The Touareg/Cayenne TDI's are high on my list, nearly bought a Cayenne Diesel last year. Great looking MK2 car with the Aero! It looks fantastic in grey!

Prices seem to keep going up on clean examples and the Porsche models are trimmed nicely. There’s a dude on the Touareg forums that’s working to build a system that removes the terrible HPFP and also upgrade the the turbo internals so you don’t have to repipe the intercoolers.
