You ain't takin these cars to grave...might as well enjoy your time on this earth as much as possible and hit full boost atleast once everytime you take it out!

Do you have more pics of the interior. Specifically of the center console? I also have the aluminum look package (or whatever it is called) but I'd like to ditch the aging soft touch paint on the center console. I was worried that a silver painted center console with the aluminum trim ring on the shift boot and the aluminum accents on the handbrake and shift **** would be too much. Seems like you have that setup so I'd love to get a better look.

And also... congrats. That's a hell of a lot of miles and smiles.

Congrats Tom!

It goes to show that it’s not just the car, but also the owner, and therefore, the combination of the two (and a bit of luck) that allows for this sort of thing to happen.

After all, I read in another thread that you also tracked this car, you know how to drive a stick properly (original clutch lasted a very long time), and you changed your oil every 5,000 miles.

I believe there’s an art and a science to driving a 911 the right way, and you seem to have both mastered!

Thank you.

I think I like it. Project for next winter though. Right now I am on month 2 of waiting to get my shift **** back from the place doing repairs on the carbon.

@T2 since you're in New England..does it have any rust?

I'd imagine the turbo/exhaust components would be pretty corroded after all that time/miles in New England unless you constantly wash off the underbody?

Is it on the stock tune still? What modifications, if any, does it have?

About how much does that cost? Do they also repair the painted areas?

T2

Body shop maintenance is part of normal maintenance for me. A couple spots require some extra care and attention. Paint protection film helps ALOT!

It was 300 or 350 + cost of shipping to them to repair a **** like the one T2 has with deep cracking in it. Not sure about ability to repair painted stuff. They sent me a pic yesterday and I got a shipping notification that it is headed back to me. I'll start a thread on it when I get it back so as not to hijack this one.
