Happy Thanksgiving from a Newby in Florida

Happy Thanksgiving to those of us who celebrate it! I am the very happy new owner of a 2001 996tt! I have been doing a lot of reading on this site trying to absorb it all! I read that "Porsche Purists" do not like this car and for that I am THANKFUL as it probably makes it easier for me to own her...lol I have had her a week and I get a very large smile on my face every time I walk into the garage! It is black with the Savanna interior. I am really trying hard to like the color of the interior I am really close to having my upholstery department do a complete interior change out!

The first thing that happened was a visit to the tire shop for a re-balance of all the tires only to find out the left rear has separated around the inside edge of a tire that is only a year old and has less than 2k miles on it She has the Pilots on the front and Falkens in 19" in the rear. I was wanting to get some new Pilots for rear later but now they will be installed tomorrow!

The next job is to install the PSS10's!

I would like to say thank you for all the valuable info and thanks for having me!

Welcome I'm sure you will enjoy your new ride and now you have good matching tires= better to find out in the shop then to be left stuck on the road.

Thanks guys! Sam, I'm sure we will be talking! My busy season is kicking into high gear so toys have to take a back seat for a while..lol It has a very loud exhaust with a terrible drone! I have to get that after I get the suspension updated. Right now I'm just trying to get use to riding on the ground...lol I have all lifted trucks and this is quite a change in traffic! This turbo feels way different than my tuned up Duramax running 32psi of boost..lol
