I’m a long time lurker and this is my very first post. I think all of you guys on this forum are amazing as I couldn’t have gotten my dream car without your guy’s help, even though you may not know it. Growing up in Munich, Germany, I always wanted a Porsche, so I said to myself, when I get older, I’ll get my dream car; a N/A 996, 911. A Turbo always seems out of reach and I never thought it would be possible financially, but just recently I found one locally (San Diego area) that was priced so perfectly, with the perfect specs and perfect mileage (in my opinion) I somehow made it work. PPI at Black Forrest here in San Diego came back perfect, and now I am a proud owner of a 2002 Seal Gray 996 Turbo Tip with 58K miles and factory CF (partial) interior. I knew these cars were amazing, but I never thought I could get this addicted this quickly. To me, this beauty is PERFECT in every way, and if I never own another car beside this one, I would be 100% satisfied and consider myself beyond blessed. Anyway, thanks again guys and here are a few pictures.

Welcome! Beautiful car! This is a great bunch of folks here. Ask any questions we are always here to help! I have been helped immensely and always try to offer help to anyone who asks.

Dranon, thank you very much; I absolutely love it, and I’m sure I’ll have plenty of questions in the future, so knowing you guys are here for me/us noobs eases the worry of ownership a lot, especially since I bought the car to drive A LOT! I’ve put 1K on it in only a few days and the PO put about that much in the last 2 years. 😀 I’ve owned my other dream car, R129 Mercedes Silver Arrow for a few years now, and you guys are just as amazing as those other guys on Benzworld, who help/ed me with my Benz. 👍

Thank you very much guys! Now just gotta come up with another excuse to take the beast out for a spin...wonder if we have creamer in the house?! Probably not...😂😜

You don’t need a reason to take it out, just go out for a drive for stress relief or just for the fun of it, you will always come back with a smile on your face..they are a remarkable car that just seems to get better the more you drive them.

Beautiful car with really cool wheels that go well with the red...very nice!

Thank you. It’s been a total indulgence and an impulse buy. Oh well. Needs a little to be done. A small repair on the dash, install coilovers and paint correction.

Your car is gorgeous. I'll be the first of many who are big Ohlins advocates re: coilovers.

Thank you very much for the compliments. Yes I will be doing ohlins in the near future. Can’t wait, as it rides low and harsh right now.

Great picture. Your wheels look perfect. It is still quite winter where you are at in Philadelphia.
