Congrats, re-welcome (yes, a bit late to this party- but fashionablty so, eh?) enjoy the new miles and smiles and perhaps I will see you at LCMT later this month? It would be nice to meet other RL'ers.

Very nice!

Thoughts, comparisons between the '01 and '02..?

Nice 996!

You won't have to worry about spark plug tubes and o-rings on a 02 or newer 996. The newer design is a big improvement. And if you did have to replace an o-ring (doubtful) you would have to take the valve cover off.

Enjoy!

I like the wheels - same as my '04 cab - didn't realize it at the time of purchase, but I really like the design

How does one get such an offer (that you can't refuse) without advertising???

I might like such an offer.

I was at LCMT for the Gt3 Cup Challenge early last month...I would love to get into some DE events eventually but for now I visit as a spectator!

The 2002 is much faster than my 1999 C4 but that's understandable because its RWD and has the extra 200cc of displacement. My C4 had x74 suspension which made the ride alot better than the oem stuff that's on my C2 right now. If I keep this one long enough, I would definetly like to change the wheels and do PSS10s.

Good to know, plugs alone will be much easier to replace!
