Officially probably the newest guy on this site as i just joined tonight. P car fan for life, it was finally time. Basically ready, fire, aim, as in i bought it without mentioning to my wife. I had hoped the old adage of forgiveness easier than permission would hold up for me- it did and she was begrudgingly defiantly happy for me, she can't stand that my 3 year old only wants to ride in "daddy's race car". 2004 996 Coupe, 46k miles, pretty stock except short shift kit (which i love), flared rockers, a few other niceties, but mostly stock.
Waited a long time to have a reason to come talk with you guys and I refused to join until i had a sled, good to be here. Cal

 

Oh man consider yourself lucky.. my wife's got a gun .
Welcome to 6speed and congrats!

 

Congrats. My kids are always telling me to go faster. Best purchase ever.

 

congrats nice car, more pics please.

 

Congratulations indeed. My wife thinks the "toy" is a waste of money. Very pragmatic but enjoys the Carrera (as she did previous Boxsters) and knows I really enjoy it. It's only a waste because it isn't necessary, it's a much enjoyed frivolity.

 

cal, welcome...and post some pixs...enjoy

 

Rep points for having the cojones to act when the Porsche opportunity arose. Well played, sir.

You've inspired me to follow the dream and take the plunge...I'm tired of looking.

Enjoy the ride.

 

haha, well played OP !

 

Thanks for the kind words. Next time out i'll take more pics, the one i posted was from dealers lot. Had a bunch of maintenance completed last week as the service history, while stamped in the book, was a little sketchy in my opinion. Considering FU IMS for a vanity plate, or maybe that might curse me ?

 

Congrats man. My girlfriend was happy for me just because she could tell how happy I was once I got the car. Greatest feeling in the world! Good luck with your new ride my man.

 

Cojones is right... big brass ones. Congrats. You'll love it... now where are the pics???

 

Slik, do it, you wont regret it. i get as much satisfaction seeing it clean and in the garage as i do driving it. Just because it's there finally. thanks for all the kind comments. next nice day here (in columbus that could be awhile) i will take some pictures and post. Thanks again, Cal

 

 

trying to post a few pics

 

Those are the only two i could get resized to the point it would take them.

Anyone else find themselves taking the longest route possible from A to B ?
