Joe, I am very impressed and VERY happy that I found somebody that would love her as much as I do. Keep enjoying the LVDell SY Special!

Great thread revival guys, always fun to give these cars their props.

cfgen, nice looking 993. About the GT3, don't over think it: You just can't go wrong with a peachy 9 year old GT3 unless you really over pay. It won't depreciate any further, and if you don't like it, well at least you'll know.

If you don't buy it, it'll keep haunting you. These cars really are that special... and they will never make another like it; they just can't in today's world.

My first job ever was as a caddy at the local country club....ahhhh the cart girls!!!

buy the 6, have some fun with it.
as long as you track it every so often you will love it.
if you never track, 993 is better car.
it's hard to explain, but dell's summer fling with cart girl is pretty spot on....
i guess dell plays lots of golf back in the days.....

Most excellent advice.
We shook on a deal a few hours ago, but can't take delivery until Monday the 3rd.
This may be a LONG weekend.

Will do a "proper introduction" once it's in my hands.

Cheers

You have all made terrible mistakes! Especially those locally! Just because I'm a nice guy, I will bail one of you out...
