Default Trigger pulled... 958 it is.

1 owner, Euro spec, 7 out of 10 outside, 9 out of 10 inside. Not a ton of options but enough to enjoy, and the deal was solid.

New camshaft bolts already done (albeit not a recall in Germany). TC seems solid (zero slippage or weird sounds).

Next on the list:

- full detail today
- minor service (along with a few "while I'm in there" items) next week (waiting on Fumoto and oil filters)
- summer tires (currently sitting on Pirelli winter/snow/ice

Fast a heck, and driving back from the purchase (Koln) this was a great sign to see...

A turbo or Cayenne S with the camshaft bolt comment. Looks great! I personally think roof rails complete the look.

Apologies! Turbo. Yep. Cleans up very well. Now on to the interior...

Thanks Hank. Kudos to you -- July 2001 join date and only 800 posts. I did WAY too much posting in my college years...

After a several 911s and racing, I have been away from the Porsche brand for a decade. I just sold a Ford Raptor and picked up a '16 CSeH. Trying to get up to speed on these vehicles. My relatively low post count is more indicative of time away...

Well, welcome back Hank. Rennlist is much different than in 2001, but still great with loads of info and super smart people always willing to help. John isn't around much, he sold to Internet Brands around '04 or '05 if my memory serves. Congrats on the CSeH!

Looks great Matt! A beautiful example of a 958 Turbo. If you're going to drive an SUV, that's the one to drive.

Nice CTT. I wish we had an autobahn in the USA so I could try 170 mph out once in mine!

You can try those long straights in AZ and UT. I took the rental upward of 100 around there with no issues. Just straight roads with nothing in sight.
