After almost 19 years of dutiful, ridiculously reliable service, I am putting my 2002 3/4 ton Suburban out to pasture with 400,000kms on it.

It is being replaced with this... Apologies for the pic, not picking it up for a couple of weeks.

Those are the Competition Package wheels, and I also have a set of the forged five spokes. Have cut the mufflers off, added a Dina Stage 2, so it is sitting a little north of 700hp. Impossible to drive in the rain...

But yes, it does sit very nicely, thank you.

Weve been playing with a mach1 03 i think black on black 85k miles and interior smells still smells like leather.... Also ridiculously hard to find a working mach1 headunit in good condition...
That type of mustang is my fav style s95 i think it is?

Also tires are like 15 years old... Owner is a triple digit millionnare and wont get new tires. Also has a 2 digit mileage hellcat redeye and a >20k mile l88 amongst other vintage cars that im not allowed to touch.

Picked up a new to me camping rig 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser from the original owner with 359,000 original miles everything works, maybe now I can get close to T2 numbers even though it's not in the 996TT.

The deal with the 996tt did not go through, car was way rougher than it presented.

But other than BMW toys (which spent nearly 1/3 of its life as a rural mail carrier, thank you RHD, still have the rural post mail deliver sign), this is what I have picked up over the past year and a half:

'89 Grand Wagoneer
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...d-wagoneer-27/

'97 Land Cruiser (which may appear on BaT soon, too many cars at the moment):
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...nd-cruiser-15/

as well as a '97 4Runner with factory 5 speed and lockers,

a '06 Triple White Bug Special Edition (may be appearing on BaT shortly, too many cars at the moment),

a '06 6.0 turbo diesel E350 Ford Van

and an '06 4 cylinder 6-speed TJ Jeep Wrangler

not to mention the z50 mini trail I picked up months ago.

Still on the lookout for a weird color, manual, 996tt, just got the "Kills Bugs Fast" poster which I need mounted in a frame in the garage

I used to have a 'Kills bugs fast...' poster, I lost it when my house burnt down.

Wasn't that color *something* purple?

I believe the color is Arena Red, but I could be wrong

Luckily my dad inadvertently introduced my 18 year old brain into the wild world of Porsche with the "Go 4 it..." poster. Been in love with them since, idk if its the car or the something else....

When I took 2 years off of college and worked my, you know what off, because I was young and hungry, I was taught the value of cash vs the value of stock and have been afforded, via my work, fantastic opportunities to spend my money. I have been looking for the perfect (in my taste, white over navy) 996tt since, but I also like Arena Red over black. IDK how common these are, but weird color combos also interest me

Also forgot, I got this from my dad for securing a job out of college, but I will own a 996tt before an air-cooled one, but great kit nonetheless
