I already found a '99 996 with very low mileage (120k miles) and it only had 9 owners.. the engine rattles a bit and it leaks oil a lot, the sales man said that is normal. My payments will be 1200 a month and I make 1400 so I calculated that I can live with 200 a month to pay for insurance+rent+food+gas+ maintenance. Also we can not forget about Santa, the tooth fairy and The Eastern bunny who come every year . by the way I live in a dorm so I have nowhere to park, I was wondering is any of you guys would store my car for free, and I will take a bus every morning to pick up the 911... Please I need your opinion... Thanks a lot
mike
Best post so far LOL

I've been playing a lot of golf this week so I have been on the site mainly in the evenings. Did I show you the latest addition to my car? 'Gant inspired me to add this! I think the "body shop" did a good job of matching the paint.

Nice job. Although, I think you have used that one before.

I figured that you were busy. This time of you we're all running around like headless chickens trying to get stuff finished up before the end of the year. I'm personally looking forward to the start of my Christmas vacation on the 15th.

+1 for anything Bob related.

The 0w-40 vs. 15w-50 Ultimate Fighting Championship, I would watch that.

Three pages and no one mentioned RMS yet. Maybe this problem has finally been put to bed.

Maybe I missed it, but the one that seems to last forever is "Which is better tip or manual?" oops...#7.

Look, everyone knows by now that the RMS is a disposible/consumable part on a Porsche.

How old is the average 996 driver?

What is the occupation of the average 996 driver?

What watch do you wear?

What is your income?

Do you finance or own free and clear?

Why are all 996's black or silver?

Can I safely transport my 2 year old in the back of this freaking sardine can that nobody in their right mind would force their kid into?
