Sold My 996 - The Next Step...

Well I finally sold the supercharged monster. I got about what I wanted for it and it is going to a new home in Colorado. Just wanted to say thank you to all the Carrera guys in this section for making the almost 2 years I have been involved a really fun time, great learning experience, and to those I got to know and talk to...thank you again!

I will still be here promoting Vivid, products, helping with advice, life, and whatever else I interject in.

So...

I got that turbo. I went with the total AHole Yellow color Smoken deal, local, full carbon interior, 17K miles, and 1 owner who did nothing to the car. So it is a perfect platform for me to give it a good solid raping! I already got it planned out. So stay tuned for build updates and new products and photoshoots at www.vividracing.com.

2 things... First what are your thoughts on the mods to do. Second. Who wants to buy those chrome turbo wheels with brand new Michelin tires on them???

Here are some pics!

I don't get it?
You sold the 996 to help pay for your house.
Then turned around and bought a much more expensive Turbo.
Sounds like a backwards move in terms of $????????

Whoops - misread your info above - sorry.
I would kill for that Turbo!
As far as wheels, I really love the Champion RG5 wheels, also the Techart Formulas!

I'll be on the lookout for that sweet SC. Anyways congrats on joining the big leagues. Lets see mods...for looks lose the warts and paint the bumperettes. For performance...well how much can we spend? Yeah not a fan of those rims myself.

Dan,

When I first read his post I also didn't know where he got that from...but the post right under it (which I also didn't see the 1st time) he said he misread your initial post.
I think everyone knows it was clear you were selling to try to buy that turbo...and it's awesome btw! You're a lucky guy.

I still wish the car was on route to my house but alas, I can't have everything I want in life!

Best,

Jack
