Default Pulled my car out today

Back in the Fall, I found a house with 3 suites and a 2 car garage. After a few months of renovations, the house is complete and the garage was empty - until today. I took my car out of the garage space I was renting and brought her home. She’s soon to be accompanied by my mid 90s 3 Series Coupe. I’m going to enjoy visiting them here and taking them out for spins when the whether is nice!

next phase is to replace the garage with a new one avec laneway suite above!

That's an awesome shot of the car BTW. I don't know why everyone hates the 996.

Thanks. I love this angle of the C4S.

I guess everyone but me hates them. I chose this over a 997 and while faster, the 996 TT doesn’t have this ***. Always loved the 996 C4S. The headlights don’t bug me a bit.

The arctic silver 996 C4S with those turbo twist wheel is one of the best looking 911's of all time.

Gotta agree, best looking 996 by far. Proportions are just spot on, especially that angle!

I had one back in the day. It was my first Porsche. The outside has grown on me. When I see one now I kinda get it. Interior well......
Transmission was replaced on delivery for some reason or another. Engine replaced at 30k, if I recall. Crankshaft out of spec. The m96 m97? Porsche finest engines?

With a fixed income not recommended. unless you enjoy rebuilding engines and your retirement plan budgets for it.
