Hi All,

I Just picked up my first 996, which is a 2002 C4 Cab. triple black, navigation, heated seats, full leather, 45K miles, all and all the car looks really good. I have been snooping around this sit for a few, getting Ideas of which model, year I should look for. Reading a lot of post help a great deal on that venture so thanks to all!!
I know no Pictures. My bad...but I just Got the car back home from a 2.5 hr trip no light out side and it is black will post some tomorrow
i wanted to post pictures I think the rear and the side lights are smoked a little???, looks cool...I wanted your input...stock or custom

FYI :4-large ,I have 4 young kids (3 boys and a girl).... Just pop into my head

Thanks
Jerry

So need to get the numbers up

Well I am driving the car home, and it is totally incredible!! you all have one so a waist of words...I look down and I need gas. Pull into the gas station to fill up and what do you know, I am their like 15 min pushing buttons my back is going up and down, I am in the car out of the car,
So this guy walks up and wants to talk to me about my car...at this time I am really trying not to look stupid..I think it was working. So he starts asking me about the car, does it this, that, how fast, yada yada then he looks at me and said
WHAT ARE YOU DOING...I said looking in the manuel on how to open the gas door And gave him a look like how could you ask such a question, ya got it opened and left quick

Sounds great! Welcome to the water cooled club.When my boys were young(small) they loved riding in the back seats of my 79' 911SC, but that was in 1994.Today they still talk about that car.

Jerry - Contrats and Welcome to Rennlist! Your car "sounds" nice, bit since there are not pics, we can't be certain of that. BTW, that was the nicest way I have EVER asked a "newbie" to POST the @#$%^&* PICS!

Again, Welcome to Rennlist and the Porsche Phunny Pharm! Oh, and we'll wait a day or two and then help you compile your MODS list! (hee hee)
