Howdy do! Really like that color. I wish I would have waited on that color but I was drooling so much when I saw my current car my wife had to throw me a bucket!

Glad you are here!

Looks nice. My youngest daughter's favorite color. She is only 14 but already is working hard trying to make the scratch to be able to get a used Boxster in that same color when she starts driving. Kids. My first car was a Gremlin!

Jake, I love how your 996 looks. Is that a GT3 RS front bumper?

My first car was a '72 Chevy Impala. I could fit 8 friends and 2 coolers in that car. Never had to worry about spilling beer or eating in that car!

Holy crap, me too! I loved that car. Mine was red, and boy did it look sharp.

And you could fit 4 people in the trunk to sneak in the drive in movies, in theory only.

Here are some pics. 03' C2, Seal Grey, PSM, heated/pwr seats, auto dim, 18"


I haven't had much time to drive yet, but when I did it felt great! I am smiling now just thinking about it.

Now the fun begins. I already bought a Misha GT2M wing that is going to the paint shop tomorrow and aluminum pedals. Hopefully the weather gets better by the weekend so I can work on the car.

This forum has been a fountain of information and a fun place to be. More pics, stories and questions to come.

Just curious, how much, and how many miles??

I have a red one for sale.

Thanks.

Nice looking car neighbor, enjoy it. I am in Allen just north of you,... actually right now I am in Albany NY for my contractor job so physically I am not with car, miss it a lot. Have fun, cheers.
