Default Finally caught one!!

So I have been looking around for a while now for the right 911 and I finally found one, everything seemed to go very smoothly with this car as if it was meant to be whereas all the other 911s I looked at always had something feel not right...maybe all in my head but nonetheless I picked up this 99 Carrera C2, its 6 speed with 68k miles, 3 owners and last owner I bought it off had it for 4 years. There are a few mechanical things I have to attend to like rear shocks and tires and a few gaskets but other than that everything seemed to be pretty solid.
Cant stop driving it since I bought it and the looks it gets is awesome!



I will post more pics soon! btw thank you to everyone that was so helpful on the last thread I posted about the black 911 in Chicago

I'm more interested in your nsx in the background. If I didn't have kids, I would've gotten the nsx instead. Maybe I can luck out and start saving for a nxs-r to become federally legal after 25 years.

I originally wanted to get the black/tan combo but this one is growing on me like crazy. Its been a week since wash and still looks puurrtty!

...and the NSX is not mine it is my buddies, its an 03 with a factory supercharger, his second one, I have never sat in a car that corners as well as his NSX...

Silver is so much easier to keep clean.I have a metallic black and luckily it's garaged and don't use it in the rain.But still shows dust or anything else.But once clean it is stunning. Enjoy your ride looks beautiful in the picture

I here you lahalte. The ceiling in my garage is made of old-school plaster on lathe. It puts out a constant fine mist of dust. I dont really want to use a car cover because I drive it every day. I wish there was someway to paint or cover the ceiling to contain the dust...
