Just wanted to say a quick hello to everyone. I've been lurking for a while and just had my membership activated.

I recognize a number of the names and avatars from other forums I belong to, but a bunch are new as well.

I have a '97 993 C4S that I purchased in October of '06 and I've been enjoying the hell out of it since then.

 

Welcome to the 6! now post some pics of your ride!

 

I knew that was coming.

Best pics I have are the pics taken by dealer I purchased from (Willhoit). some of you might recognize his house in the background

 

Your car makes me GREEN with envy! ;-)
good looking car!
Welcome again!

 

Metallic Green with Cashmere interior. Full aluminum package (sills, gauges, ebrake and shifter, motorsound, full leather, crested headrest and CD changer). I have yet to see one similar.

Need to lower it this summer and a couple of other mods.

AND THANK YOU!

 

Love it. Welcome to the 6.

 

Great looking ride! Never seen that color before!

Nothing is more sexy then a widebody 911!

 

Hey Stealth,

Thanks! I see your pic over at Rennlist on various threads now and then. I fell in love with the color when I first saw it.

I'm now on the hunt for a late '80s cab for the summer.

 

Yes, I've learned a lot over there!

Humm, 80s cab, sounds like a good summer car! I've been trying to convince the GF that we should have a Boxter S for top down driving.

 

Boxster sounds like a good plan too. Unfortunately, I don't fit in them. :-)

I also like the 911 so much more. But wait a second, you said GF. Nothing to convince. Now if it was the wife maybe.

 

We share a house, & just about everything else, she even got the financing on the C4S for me. We are married, just not in the laws eyes, yet.

After I pay off the C4, we will get something else, that's fun & has top-down potential. I really wanted a 993 Targa, but couldn't find a good one, in my price range for a DD.

 

Understood. Hopefully I didn't offend. Good woman to arrange the financing for you.

My wife is pretty easy on car stuff. As long as I pay cash and she gets two vacations a year (anywhere she wants) then I can do what I want...

 

No offense, I get it from all my friends. Yea, it was hard to get financed on the C4S, $2x blue book, & over 10 years old, my credit would not do it. She has perfect credit, & it was still a chore.

The C4 was easy, I only need a very small loan, & got a better interest rate on top of it. Yes, I used to pay $$ for things also, & haven't had a car loan for over 8 years.

She likes cars, but is not, "into" cars. She is also a little more practical then I am. We almost picked up a sweet 2003 M5, with all the goodies, but 12mpg, & 90mi round trip commute made me rethink it.

 

Yeah, that practical thing is always getting in my way too.

As I mentioned, I'm searching for a cab for the summer. The practical side of me says to get an '89 Mercedes 560 cab. It's a great car, bullet proof, but it's much more of a touring car than a sports car.

The 911 will be much more fun.

Good call on the M5 in my opinion. They are a blast, but all that power in a four door...

 

Very nice color...
