+1 on the colour! Oh so Porsche!

The spoiler light freaked me too! I thought I had found my first problem. Breathed a sigh of relief when the spoiler popped up when I hit the freeway.

That's my favorite color on these cars. Nice choice.

Have fun with it.

Heh. Nice car, nice color. Congrats! Enjoy driving the snot out of that 996.
Yeah, I deserve the ribbing. I had some inexplicable brain cramp when I was typing the original post.

I'll post some interior photos when I have a chance - it's pretty good overall, but the gear shift is a bit worn for my tastes and that might be one of the first things I tackle.

I like your handle, incidentally. If I ever dump the "5CHN3LL" plates, I'm going with "H2OCOOL"

Thanks! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to troll the air-cooled folks.

I'm a little surprised everyone loves the color so much; I'm pretty pleased with it as well. Something different, you know?




Interior looks good in general, no rips, tears, etc. Mats are a little worn and also might be replaced soon.




Shifter has seen better days, but it's an easy fix.







Frunk and engine compartment handles have lost some of their finish. Need to look into replacing/refinishing these.
