Enjoying Life
Hi All,
Just want to say thank you for all the great information. Rennlist is now a link that I check multiple times through out the day.
This is my 2nd Porsche and loving every chance I get to drive it. Picked up a 2003 C4s a few months back. Picked it up for $38K, which was on the high side but it was a private local sale 28.5K miles and new tires and all the options I needed including the 30K maintenance. I would of passed on the purchase if it was any other color. But this has been the color I have been waiting for. I can say it has been worth the wait to see that rear end sitting in my garage.
Ive been to a few of the local PCA events and found it interesting that the 996 are definitely the minority. Fortunately a fellow C4s joined the club about the same time.
I attempted to wax and clay bar the car, looked good after I finished... I'm no professional that is for sure but I had to try. I went to town removed the wheels and all.
Have a question about my options that are on the car but dont print out when I decoded a decoder site. I dont see my Navigation system listed as an option? and wondering what else might be missing. Does anyone have a better link to decode your vehicle options? I used

1st mistake and lesson learned: After a nice dinner and too many
I let my wife drive home, all was good no grinding gears no stalling, smooth until the only traffic light we had to stop at. Sure enough the light turns green and she puts it in reverse and accelerates... I sobered up in a micro second.... We laugh about it now and she swears never to drive the car again. luckily for HER no one was behind us.
