Finally pulled the trigger on a tt!

Finally pulled the trigger on a 996 tt. It has been an exhaustive 4 months searching the pacific northwest for the best 01 to 05 996 tt. I am in Vancouver, Canada, where we have a limited supply of these beasts, so I have had to search down the pacific coast of the US. I made the road trip south, and was like a kid in a candy store, as I have never seen so many awesome specimens! After the road trip, I had my heart set on a 05 turbo s with ccb brakes, pss10 suspension, gt3 wheels, fvd chipped, 33k miles in gorgeous gt silver/black for a reasonable price, and great owner, when low and behold, right in my back yard a 01 guards red/black appears, looking awesome with pss10 suspension, 19" vellano wheels with near new ps2s, sport seats, carbon fiber side mirrors, 20% tint side windows, pioneer avic stereo/bluetooth, areo pkg with 38k miles. What to do? I found the best high and low example, both great pricing for their years. In the end, I opted for the 01 which leaves room to add mods, and have some fun. It was a hard decision, and if anyone is looking for an awesome 05 turbo s, pm me for details. Let the mods begin!

Thanks guys! Looking forward to some sun, to take this new ride for a spin, as Vancouver just had the second rainiest April in history. As if we don't get enough rain as it is!

Is there anything sexier than a Turbo Carrera in Guards Red? Besides my mistress, I can't think of anything....

It's about 3 years old, so not the latest greatest, but much better than stock and has the ipod interface and blutooth. I Think speakers need to be upgraded.

The back wing is different, so I am not sure. It does go up with the hydraulics, but looks like a mashaw style. I will post a pic of the wing, and maybe you guys will know what it is.
