Can't belive how fast time flies. I've had this car since 2005 with just 19k miles on it. Just turned 101,000 miles.

Still one of the most solid cars I've owned and don't see myself ever selling it.

Just took these over the weekend.

Would be great to see everyone's favorite pic of their car. Post em' up!

Your car is literally THE car that inspired me to start searching for a Seal Gray 996 Turbo. Funny how you just posted this today. What color are the spokes painted on the HREs?

Gorgeous color! Like I predicted 10 years ago. The value will go up. I will predict again in 20 years, the 996tt/GT will be the most wanted 911 car do to its design.

This post is encouraging! I just picked up my cab 2 months ago. It has 22k and it will be interesting to see if it becomes like the 3rd car out of 90 that I keep over 3 years!

So far so good!
