Default First time posting, first P-car

About a month ago I recently purchased my first Porsche, a 2002 996. I can't even explain the joy I get from driving this machine. I smile just by starting the motor! My dad was really the one that got me started from his long addiction of Porsches (Owning a 914, 911SC, 964, and his current '00 996). Rennlist has been a tremendous help I must say. The information I have been receiving from this site has been very helpful, and goes to show I have a lot to learn!

My first Porsche meet was a big one, as I recently attended the Porsche Parade 2011. I did not register my car, but I did park it in the Corral on Monday, which was good enough for me. Here's a picture of the car at the Parade, as well as others I took in Miami a few days after I bought it. I recently took the tint off the car that the previous owner had put on, as you can see from the Parade picture. It just looks cleaner without it!

Nice intro, welcome to Rennlist. Your wheels look great as does your Porsche. Glad your Dad influenced your taste in cars.
