I guess a fair amount of you on here DD, but most for sale do not seem to be at all.

Nice fit.
I am not a fan of the cabs at all though, the coupe just has the sexiest lines ever.

My C4S would glide thru this and I would be in my office right now.

PS: My 996C4S is VERY COMFORTABLE - nothing better than driving it all day, every day! (the 997 is even better!)
Winter tires would have helped :P
I would by yours, as a C4S is a gorgeous car, and if you can sell it for 30k I'll be on the next flight.

I have a 997S and drive it every day, unless snow or ice on road. I look forward to getting up every morning to drive it. I traded an e46 M3 on the 997, and I am just as comfortable in the 997 as I was in the M3. To me, I feel like I have more room in a 997 than 996, which is important since I am 6'1".

Try not to break a hip while entering/exiting the vehicle.

I just returned from a road trip in the 04 996C2 2,700 miles in 8 days round trip to South Florida. Even with the M030 suspension the entire drive was immensely pleasurable. Driving the Florida causeways with the sunroof and windows open had the PSE playing incredible sounds! Captured 144mph on the portable GPS, yeah, I chickened out and backed off. No radar detector, no tickets, thank God. As for a daily driver, I drive mine almost every single day including in the snow here in the Northeast. I have logged 9,200 miles in four months, compared to 550 miles in my 02 Aurora back up ride in the same period. Not even sure why I keep the Aurora - LOL - it will probably decay from non-use.

pszikla, always wondered what that was in your cab and why it was in there.
