New 911 owner
Hi Everyone ! I just sold my beautiful 1987 944 Turbo this past saturday 
....... However, i picked up this beautiful 1999 911 Carrera as a replacement on Monday ! 
All i can say is WOW... what a car ! It's been a dream of mine for a very long time to own a 911 and it was worth the wait... I can't stop driving it !! I've attached a picture of the "new shoes" i plan to get for it... i'd also like to look into getting a good exhaust, chip/tune, cold air kit, and whatever else i can get my hands on to bump up the power.. Anyhow, I just wanted to share with you guys and as always it's a pleasure to be a member of such a wonder forum !........ On a sidenote, the driver's side front headlight is a little bit faded.. without spending the cash to replace it, is there any sort of cleaner or anything i can get to make it as clear as the other ?? (do they make such a thing ??) A buddy of mine mentioned it so i thought i'd ask.. the other route i thought about is some headlight tint i saw on ebay.. What do you guys think/recommend ??
Thanks

Thanks ! and i agree with you on how "new" the 99's look...... Everybody that's seen it thus far can't believe it's a 99... they think it's much newer... even when i had my 87 944 Turbo people thought it was late 90's or so... these cars just don't look dated at all.

Your aero equipped 99 looks as good as any modern 997 - and I bet most of the non-Porschefiles couldn't tell a 996 from a 997 anyway!
Enjoy the car!

Welcome to the best darn Porsche enthusiasts web site on the planet!!
How about some comments on the difference in "feeling" driving the 996 versus the 944.....like does it feel much different throwing into a corner, accelerating etc...
enjoy your new baby
I can tell you that I love love love love love love love my car!!
