I remember seeing that commercial in the early 2000's. Never realized it was Kristin Stewart. Thanks for sharing.

Ditto. Don't remember ever seeing the commercial before, so I definitely appreciate the link.

However, I just realized that Kevin Bacon drives a silver 996 coupe in the movie "Hollow Man" (a remake of The Invisible Man). The movie was released in 2000, so it's probably a 1999 model.. My 996 is a 2000 C4 Cab.

So, it was worth watching the movie to me to just to catch glimpses of car.

I'd not seen that before, either. Thank you for the link, OP.

A buddy of mine has the transmission out of the 996 that got flipped in the NetFlix show House of Cards.

There are a lot of cars I missed their window to buy. The worst are the 911SC, Ferrari 308 and the Mazda RX7 twin turbo (FD).

I feel like I timed the 996 and 986 buys very well though ( 3 yrs and 2 yrs ago).

I feel the best buy in the P car world right now is probably the 987. I think 997s will drop a bit more as the 992 becomes more common.

I’m not sure I will add another car. I have 4 hobby cars now and need to sell one.

Default instrument cluster

I've got a spare cluster I've attempted to program but the eprom file doesn't look right. It's on a 2002 Boxster S, manual. Is there any way to get a copy of a binary file I can edit? The chip is an 93c86 (16) and the circuit board is the new variety.
