rss997

My dad bought a brand new 928s in 1986 or 87. I took it to prom and scared the hell out of my date by getting it up to 100 on the fwy( not a good idea for results later in the evening.)

I was intoxicated by the deep howl of that engine and wish my 996 sounded the same!!!

I was so dissapointed when he later got a BMW850 I as it was just so tame and plain to drive.....

I hope to be ripping it up like you guys when i am into my 50's too..Good job having fun guys, you are only as old as you feel. I feel 60 now as we have 3 kids under 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I often see myself doing this... trying to keep up with all these kids...

It does seem strange, I agree. But the UV is so intense here, I am fair skinned and I have had a few friends come down with skin cancer. I got a lot of sun yesterday, but I don't do that often. I didn't want to get fried with UV rays every time I drive the car. It would be too tempting to drop the top.

Additionally, the UV can do numbers on the interior and the soft top. I felt that a coupe was the best way to go. It blows such cold air I oftentimes have to keep turning it down... *Homer Simpson voice* "Hmmmmm.... A.C. ... "

Why do people in NY and Minnesota have cabs? Wait - your new '05 turbo cab is probably going to be uber-beechin, so no need to answer that. I'm sure you'll completely enjoy it.

Bought my first high milage 911 when I was 22. Since then I owned a 951, a 930 and now a 996. So I sit here right in the middle of 35 keeping the 930 and using the 996 as a driver.

I bought my first Porsche, 914, when I was 20 and my first 911, brand new, at 24. They were the best and almost the fastest cars available in those days. I rocked the hot rods on the fwy.
I thought about buying a 997 this year, but you know, old guard and all, just couldn't do it. I'll ltake a close look at the 997 GT3 in a year or so.

I'm 27 and made the same "before 30" promise (bought when I was 25). I'm hoping when I turn the big "3-0", I can afford a 996 Turbo.
