Its funny you should mention the third radiator...Below is a picture of the car with it installed last year (along side one of my Italian mistresses). I am constantly playing with that 996. Also, put on a MkII bumper and had the whole car repainted last year as well. This is what it looks like now. I totally agree with you on color, btw

First Porsche at 40, that's a 1997 Boxster (986).


Second Porsche at 47 (only had it for three weeks now!), that's a 2001 996 Carrera.

First Porsche was a 1986 944 Turbo bought in 1998. Loved that car. Now my car is a 2002 911 Carrera Cabrio bought in Aug 2016. Love this car as much or more. The sound of the engine is intoxicating. I am now 63 going on 25 LOL

First Porsche, an 01 986 Boxster S at 25 and drove it for two happy years around SoCal. Moved back to Milwaukee and bought the 996 six months ago at 27.

Coming up on 2 years of ownership of my 2003 C4S I purchased when I was 28. Needless to say I am 30 now... It's my daily driver and I always look forward to driving it, I love this thing

Nice one, crmcgregor!
I am 51!
Always loved the look of the 996 4S/turbo, but having small children back then, a 911 was not really an option for us.
Fast forward to 2017 and my sports car gene somehow reactivated itself again!. I needed to get back to a 911, having driven the Cayenne for 12+ years!
I started looking at 997:s but then I ran into this mint red 996 4S. Impossible to pass up! :d

Bought my first 911 at 33 which was a 1991 964 C2 Targa, then raised my kids and now got back into the game and bought my 996 at 49..

I'm 53 this year the exact sort of age I used to call sad when I was a teen and looked on with great envy at older types with hot wives (partners these days) in 1980's Porsches..
