Default New Owner in Bay Area!!

Hello Rennlisters,

I have been stocking on here for a while and could never figure out how to post pics until now (at least I think I have.) So here is my official intro!! I picked up my 2000 996 with 36k miles in September for $37.5k. It took me a year to find her and I almost gave up until I spotted her on Craigslists. She was everything I was looking for. Low miles, black on natural brown full leather, hi-fi, litronic, three spoke steering wheel, 17 inch wheels, and non sport suspenstion. The car is an absoulte dream and feels better every day I drive her! The first two pics are from the day I got her. The second pic is more recent and shows my first mod; clear sides. I have a schnell intake on the way and am really really temped to take advantage of the group buy on the GHL mufflers before year end!

I also wanted to thank everyone on this list for the increadible amount of info on here that helped me make the choice to purchase the Pcar.

My other car is an E30 M3 that I have been driving for the last 8 years. I still love my M3 but compared the 996 feels like driving a luxury car that is even faster and fits much better!

Thanks again,

Michael

PM Jon or Jenn and they will get it updated for you. Nice M3. First EVO M3 is my favorite. Had a red one about 10 years ago.

Tim... yes let the mods begin. I just emailed Brian so hopefully the GHLs will be on the way shortly!

Alex.... don't worry she will be no garage queen.

I agree that E30 is sweet! One of the best looking M3's IMO

Congrats, the car looks fantastic - I like that color leather, looks great with the black.

And yes, that E30 rocks - that was my dream car for years in high school.
