Oh, you heard about that:-) I'm pretty excited but the wait might kill me. It seems like there's a track day that I miss every weekend. Now my buddy just picked up Dan's car in Los Angeles and I'm chomping at the bit.
I need to pick up another set of wheels for the track. Yours look really good. I like the center exhaust but I think I have roberga convinced to sell me his old Fabspeed muffler bypass pipes until I can save up some more dinero.
Your car looks just awesome!

Nice to hear, thanks. As awesome as the car looks/sounds, I think it will exceed my expectations in person. It has been a pleasure dealing with Jeff and he was very patient in waiting for me to get my "stuff" in order. I have tried to reassure him that the car will be well taken care of. I got some good news from him this evening... transport will be picking the car up tomorrow and beginning its (agonizingly slow) journey to me. I'm excited!

and please share photos, keep us updated on how she's doing, dont be a stranger, etc... you see, i have a soft spot for her in my heart, i was the former owner (before jeff) and i pampered her and loved her more than life itself!!
unfortunately got "tempted" (997's are sexy) and traded her in
but luckily jeff swooped in bought her within a matter of hours and transformed her into one hell of a beast and cared for her in ways that can only equal how much i cared for her, not sure if that's even possible actually!
missed her too much, dumped the lame 997 c2s, and got me a silver 996 gt3
love my current gt3, but you never forget your "first time"

Wow, pressure is on! Don't worry, I take good care of my cars and this one will not be an exception. I really cannot wait to see this car, its cool that everybody up there has such great things to say.
As for A/C delete, I love it! I have a daily driver so that's not a concern. Whereas some people's Porsches are stored in the winter months, where I live its the opposite. The car will certainly be driven and enjoyed at select events but don't be surprised if a year from now the car is still in the 22k mile range.
If it is at all reassuring to you folks in the PNW, here's a shot of my 22 year old Carrera. My dad bought it brand new, I bought it off of him a couple years back, and its perfect! I took care of it for him growing up, lots of hand washes to earn a few bucks. Had the engine rebuilt this past summer as it was starting to smoke, but other than lots of TLC, that's it. Not bad for 131k miles, IMHO.

You should hear the exhaust that is on the car presently; it's not bad.

She will definitely be in good hands.
Dan, I'm not a dealer, I'm a co-dependent (much like the rest of the RL members). Justin is really, really fired up, I'm glad he was able to get the car from you. He is on the east coast right now, I spoke to him a little while ago and he was really missing his car.
