Default Another new car

Well, Bull's not the only one with a new ride. Here's mine. It's a 2000 996 C2. The car got a new 3.4L factory engine in 2006 that is still under warranty. I'm retiring my 997S from the track, and turning it back into the garage queen it deserves to be. The 996 will get some modifications and become my dedicated track car. Stay tuned...

Hey Mike, that looks great! An early 996 is likely the best value out there today for a track car. Properly set-up, they can be very fast and loads of fun.

I'm just too old to remember to bring coolant with me.... (before Mike says it).

***Beat ya to it . . . I already have a Spec Miata. That comment about hubby needing a job will likely prompt some interesting remarks from Dave.

What could Dave possibly know about having a job?

BINGO! The prices on early 996's are really low. Possibly the best performance/$ in a rear engine right now.

Uh, someone told me it would run in H. If I were interested in that sort of thing...
