Great job!

As far as washing/detailing in the winter time, 3 words: Optiminum No Rinse.

Michael.

Larry,
I watched your "Find aTurbo" thread with great interest. I think you and your search had more to with my continued hunt for a turbo, rather than a 40th Anniversary 996.

Congratulations, it is magnificent!

Excellent, Enjoy Larry! I know the next couple of months will be difficult, but I'm sure you'll be sitting in the garage with a huge smile on you face for at least 30 days....so the wait won't feel so bad!

Larry, if the car was CPO'd when you bought it then it is transferable to you if you bought it from an private individual. If from a non-Porsche dealer then the CPO becomes void and the dealer CANNOT re-certify the CPO unless they buy it from you, but it through the CPO process, add those expenses, and then sell it back to you.

Now get your butt over to the Turbo forum
