Your 996 is sharp in white, and as mentioned, the interior stands out and isn't the typical color we see on most. Very nice.

The coolant cap should be the first step in correcting a leaking coolant issue because it's the cheapest and easiest. The plastic coolant tanks are prone to failure on the water cooled Porsches(mine included), but often a simple cap replacement will fix the issue.The tanks seem to develope cracks due to engine heat and age.

Nice car you picked up. Always a good feeling when you find something worth your while.

Time to take your baby shopping for driving shoes.
That ought to make a memorable day for her when daddy trained her to drive.

Then I'll be glad to take care of the left over 3 if you aren't busy with them
Not that there is an alterial motive here

mooty, you're funny as always... Because everybody's "nice riding everyday car" should be a stripped out, caged track car!

Matt, I think I walked by your car w/Jordan at the car show, though I didn't realize it was yours, nice car. Great color on the 996 also, I've searched for some time for a white 996, but didn't come across one, they really do look great in white.
