Default I love my 996TTS

Drove it around this weekend for the first time in a while... love this car.

Acquired under sad circumstances. My friend passed away (RIP Mike) and his family wanted to "keep it in the family"... so I added it to the stable.

Car is a 2005 Turbo S manual trans in PTS Arena Red!

Holy cow. That has to be one of the top 996tt in the country. What color is the interior? Mileage?

What a beautiful car. I'm sure Mike would be pleased to know you have it.

I finally got the car paint corrected today... but it promptly started to pour down rain as it does from time to time in Houston TX... so all I have to share right now are some crummy pics in poor light.

In real life I could not be happier with the job. Car POPS. Really happy!

Better pics to follow when the weather cooperates!

Life is good

Beautiful car! And great story too. Although the loss of one's friend is tough (I've lost a few recently), positive is you get to be reminded of your friendship often, every time you look at it or drive it and that's special. God bless!

great car, great color. silver lining

are the wheels a darker silver on the TTS? hard to tell from pics. Scrolling through, I was betting on a natural brown interior but I like the wood kit, warms it up.

any mods?

The first and best thing I did was a numeric shifter.

cheers, enjoy
