As a newly returning 911 owner, I concur that nothing drives like or feels as good as a 911. Concgrats

Congrats Tim. I used to remember when you were a young lad and owned the 996. I was rooting for you on your search for the 997. Very glad for you.

And a new sigline. It is true that you used to own a 996, but by God you own a 997 now, and it's a 2010!

Thanks to everyone for the kind remarks!

I had my 996 for 3 years and 3 months (39 month lease) and had my Honda for exactly 3 years and 3 months (sold it 9/1/11). I plan on having this car for a much longer period of time.

Alex, I agree on the Sig pic. It will be changed shortly.

Thanks again to everyone for the kind "welcome back" messages!

There could be a Meteor Gray Metallic Rear Center Console in my future!
