I sold my 2000 Porsche 996 about 2 years ago, and haven't been able to find a car that made me happy, since. I solved that problem a couple of weeks ago, when I bought a 2003 996.
It's midnight blue on black, with a build that's perfect for me. Full leather package, HID's, no-PSM, 6 speed, and factory 5 spokes. The car suffers from deferred maintenance, but with only 67k, it's not something that scares me.
So far, I've put a new set of Continental DW's on it, performed an oil change, and buffed out the neglected paint. Last night, I unloaded a box of parts into it. The tally, so far is new decklid and frunk struts, a new coolant reservoir cap, new air filter, new steering wheel multiswitch (turn signal auto cancel was broken), and a 997 shift assembly. There's some work left to do, but the car is coming together, nicely.
A picture from the day of purchase:

It's great to be back!

I know there will be a ton of comments about how I should have bought a Cayenne, but I need a trailer 8-10 days per year, and I want a 911 for 365 days out of the year.
