Question Looking for a drive in a 996 4S / Turbo in California

Looking for a drive in a 996 4S / Turbo in California / vicinity.

I've had two 1999 996s and looking to upgrade for my next 996. If anyone has a 996 4S or Turbo in California (~ Santa Barbara, LA, San Diego, Sacramento) and are willing to take me for a spirited drive I'd really appreciate it. It would help me get a good idea for what I'm looking to be getting myself into, thanks!

Also, of course, if anyone has a nice one to sell I'm all ears. Preference to a black X50 option (or track ready / willing) and lots of records. I've been watching BAT and Craigslist for a while now and still pursuing. Garage queen not necessary.

The image attached show what I'll likely be doing with it, thanks!

I'm in Reno, NV. You're more than welcome to come drive mine. It's modded and used primarily for mountain rallies and a few times per year as a track car. I've been thinking recently about switching to a different platform for these uses, so if you like it you could maybe even buy it!

I am in Grass Valley area and will be back in town 12/2 for about a week. I have a tastefully upgraded X50 and we could go for a spin.

Sounds great, thank you! I may pass through Reno as I drive with my parents from Mammoth to Sacramento ~ the 26th of this month!

I'll be around, let me know. Weather (mostly temps) may play a factor on how wild of a drive we can do.
