I only have a girlfriend - it's MY MONEY
if she said "What do I get" when I bought my car she'd get an earful.
her parents bought her a cooper S however, so she's happy.

We are going to Germany this October, landing in Copenhaggen and Departing from Zurich for 18 days
Short part is, boat ride up the Rhine to Munich, I have 3 days all alone for me and the wife. I am emailing Porche for the factory cruise before we rejoin the tourists from hell!
As the departure date arrives, I will be asking a butt load of questions for all the brothers that went before me. I want to rent a car and hit the Audobon for atleast a day.
October and Octoberfest a coincidence ? I dont think so

As example, she calls out 997s the "PE" for, you guess it, ***** extender. Once, when stopped in traffic, she asked a very attractive women in a 'vette if the car made her breasts bigger. I told you, she's a smart ***.
Much to my surprise the other day she sez,"you know, for your 70th Birthday ( two years hense) we ought to go to Germany and pickup a new PE. Man, was I surprised but I "reluctantly" agreed and made my way to the PCNA site to start to configure the new beast. But wait, it gets better.
Today she asked what model I was thinking of and I replied another C2S or maybe a C4S. Of course, she doesn't know one model from the other but she sez, "what about a turbo"? I'm of course speechless.
She sez, "if you can afford it, get it".
I think I'll divorce her

No disrespect, but if you are 70+ then I'd say go for the Turbo too. You never know how many more chances you'll get!

I have a friend who imports cars to Canada - in Canada (though not the USA_) the car has to be at least 15 years old.... sort of lame
He went to germany and he bought a 1989 M5 and he imported it back. most of the client cars, however, are JDM (Japanese domestic Market) cars...
i dunno, look at who can do shipping.... It might be a huge hassle trying to get a euro 993 over here, with shipping and customs on both sides, however having a German market 993 would be cool, and I don't know how many of them there are in north america - while there's a bevy of 928 euros. Just a matter of time before we see more euro 993's
