Officially the new owner of a 996TT!

I finally joined the club. Flew down to Phoenix yesterday and took the keys from Rob (rwm514) after having some work maintenance and PPI performed by Robert @ Redline Motorsports.

Being this was my first Porsche and only drive one stock 996TT for a few street miles prior to this, my 800 mile drive back to San Francisco yesterday and today was a phenomenal experience. What a car!

Many of you have probably seen this car in the for sale section recently, or other posts by Rob. I wanna say he was a pleasure to deal with and he took tremendous care of this car in the few years he owned it. That is evident.

With the RWD conversion and EVO stage 2 on this car, I am stoked to have this my new daily driver. I just wonder how long it will take for me to be content with the power and want more!

Pics of the car when I picked it up, and then my radar detector/laser jammer situation for the ride back.

Thanks guys.

I think either one or both of my devices were constantly going off from the AZ/CA border all the way to SF. At least I was lucky to have correctly picked my spots for those high speed blasts.

The V1 is a great piece.

Thanks.

Yeah, I actually wanted to hit up that Euro meet a few weeks ago in Blackhawk but couldn't make it. That looked like a nice meet!
