Default Hello From Seattle

I've been a lurker for a bit. Ive just picked up a 99 996 and love it. Being from a Porsche family and growing up with them I'm so excited to have one of my own. It is bone stock at the moment, but being that I'm one of the extremely lucky sons of the owners of Brey-Krause, I have everything they make for the 996 arriving for it from the East Coast soon. I also have a set of heated black leather with silver stitching sport seats being shipped as well.
I had the PPI done on it at Robert Larson Porsche and will have it maintained (hopefully) at John Walkers in Greenwood.
I'll add some pics of it, not the best quality as it was getting dark, and I don't want to pull it out in the rain to take more.. lol
Anyway, I just wanted to say hello, and am already greatful to have picked up a ton of good info from you all. So, thanks!
The day I picked it up..


Yesterday...



I wont share any pics of the front, of my Boxter..lol er, i mean 911..... ugh.. i need litronics asap!!!

Congratulations on your new Porsche. My brother picked up a '02 a few months ago and is having fun with mods as well. Enjoy the car in good health.

I just came off 2+ years in a 996 and ended at 115k miles with no real issues - great cars - You might be interested in service a little closer, if so, let me know I know a great shop and they are leading the way in our area in 996 work - Some of the other shops have good reps because of the aircooled days but really are a bit behind the curve on the water cooled models...

anyhow, great looking car and here's to many happy returns!

I dont really want to take away from your intro thread - but under 10 posts you cant PM so I will just say check out this place - LINK They are an Authorized dealer/installer for LNE and I have been there a great many times. Really staying on top of the M96 cars

Its at least worth a trip to see if they look like the kind of people you would want to do business with. the choice is ultimately yours of coarse.
