My new car!

Just picked up a 2002 TT. Have had close to 20 porsches but never a water cooled one...I've been eyeing the 996 turbos for a while thought because of the prices and the technology they offer....So. The other day my buddy told me he saw one at Coral Cadillac's used car lot.....White/black tiptronic with sport seats with white backs...looked at the motor and saw some Switzer hoses so find the name of previous owner and search a little ...car was in a build thread here a few months ago...has bigger turbos, inter coolers , build renntech transmission, 37k miles....so I bought it! Air cooled........Hey. This ac actually works well.....I might be a convert to the new age!

Congratulations and welcome to the world of water cooled Porsches! I'm sure you're going to have a ton of fun with your car, and that is an incredibly desirable color combination to boot.

Congrats on 996TT ownership! My parents lived in Boca near Mizner years ago. Nice area.
