Default My Pig Pen Induction

After quite a little search and the sale of my 993, I found my new automotive love.
It's a 2005 CTT that I found in Seattle. Previous owner had it since 12k miles in '06 so it's pretty much a one owner who took great care of it.
It's already had the coolant pipes and all coils replaced. Has 70k miles on her and I scored it for $29.7k. We took it to Chris's Porsche shop in Bellvue, WA, who gave it his blessing. It was a quickie PPI, but didn't charge me a dime.
Thank you all who advised on getting the Turbo. I am floored at the thrill this car is to drive. The saddle interior knocks me out and the sun came out today to allow me to enjoy the panoramic sunroof.
Hopefully the pix will load...https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/beerchug.gif

Very clean! Was the black trim an option for the CTT's?

Congrats and enjoy in good health

Looks great, and I love the Sport Techno wheels! Pics remind me that I need to get the front windows tinted on mine.

Thanks! Any advise on a tow package and new tires to get me up Mt Hood for the ski season?

Good thing you took a pic at the gas station. Those occasions are few and far between.

Enjoy in good health, and don't mind us.

BTW, don't forget to replace those amber corner markers with the clear ones - an especially important mod for Black CTT's!!!

Nice Cayenne! I was just in Portland for business earlier today!

I've got the same wheels on my Cayenne. If you want to go with an all-season tire, I'd suggest Continental Extreme Contact DWS. I've been very happy with them on my 20" wheels. That being said, you'd be better off keeping these wheels for the summer, and putting on a set of 19" or even 18" wheels with true winter tires for the ski season. I bought a set of 18" Cayenne S wheels for my winter tires - they go on tomorrow.

Nice ride! Would recommend 18's for snow tires. Search around and you will find threads showing the hitch install.

Very nice ride! Now, please replace the amber side markers with clear side markers. That's the first mod I did within a week of owning mine.
