"I like your garage floor...piant, tiles, carpet?"

Home Depot Armstrong vinyl tiles, Spent about 400$ for 20x20, very easy to install. Used a table saw to cut tile and a good glue remover product for hand cleaning after every 10 tiles. Just need to polish and finish the steps.

Congratulations. I really like the wood trim against the black interior.

Yes, the wood trim was a nice to have. Much darker in person, almost black.

ps--My brother in law just bought an '09 tripple black C2 S version of your car. He paid close to $100k, and I can't imagine it's 3 times better than your car! I'll get to drive it this weekend, but for the money, yours is a killer deal!

2009 911 New flat-six engines featuring direct fuel injection.

Output of the 3.8-litre power unit in the S-models is up by 30 to 385 bhp , pushing the extra-powerful S-version beyond the magic speed barrier of 186 mph. Your brother-in-law should be more than pleased.

I'm sure he'll love the new car, but for the money, I'd rather have a used GT-3 and plenty left over!!

GT3 would be good if I lived next to a track but for a every day driver I would stay will a C2 911. My old 2000 911 had Eibach's, lowered about 1.5", it was a bit harsh on anyting but smooth roads. I would think a GT3 is more so.

True, the GT-3 isn't as civil, and it has a hardtop. So it wouldn't fit with your MO! Aside from the rims, and a glove compartment and cup holders, those two black C2 cabs are pretty much twins!

3.4 to 3.6 was a nice upgrade.
"It has a powerful, responsive, torque-happy engine that seems capable of outputting more (a wee bit, at least) than its stated 320 bhp. I've praised the off-theline capabilities of Porsche's engines before, and the addition of VarioCam Plus to the C2 increases said praise twofold. I've also sang paeans to the engines' elasticity, and the 3.6 continues that song."
