I brought her home last night...

I don't remember ever being so smitten with a car. She shakes and chugs at idle, has no cupholders, and an ingress/egress that will shatter a kneecap. I've put 50 miles on her since I picked it up yesterday and can't stop driving it. It isn't particularly fast, it doesn't handle like a modern car, but it's such a joy to drive.

I think I'll be keeping it for a long, long time. I hope the usual faces from Cars and Coffee will be making the trek to Hershey this year. I'm looking forward to it.

And here is the only pic I have of it with the Evo (the new buyer came a few minutes later to take it away).



And of the car this morning. I need to drive her before we get two feet of snow!

Nice ride! I test drove a 993 S. . . the sound at idle and under throttle is fantastic. Enjoy

Awesome. I am looking forward to it. I finally own a car that needs a few spare parts.

Good to be back, Jon. Yes, it sits pretty low with the H&R springs the previous owner put on it but it's still a manageable ride height.

I was on 202 yesterday morning around 8am or so. Hope to catch up soon. The car looks fantastic.

I wasn't in the Benz, though. I was in the Denali.

I know. I saw you turning where the AT&T store is.

And there aren't many black on black on black Denalis.

Ian, welcome to the bliss of the 993s. These cars are very special indeed.

Congrats on your new ride. It's definitely a keeper!!

Planning on Hershey if I'm in town
