Default Fell in love with a new 993

So I went to see a low mileage 993 Silver/Black - 14,000 miles..Sports seats, @ owners...Motor Sound and a bunch of other options.....wow...she is lovely - but since there was snow I didnt drive her home...attached are 3 photo's at the shop..named New 993...The interior is just fantastic....PSS9 Bilsteins

Hopefully this attachment works.....

Now I have to sell my existing 993 - Silver/Grey - 25,000 miles - pristine...I will post a full for sale package soon with price...but I have attached some photos' in my garage....named old 993

Bring on spring!

She's HOT! Good body, and I am sure nice personality. What's not to love about her?

Wow...congrats on the car! Where is that holy grail of a garage? I'd love to see more photos of all of those fantastic Porsches.

Nice car. Seems like all you are doing is swapping interior colors and adding sport seats.

Previous owner's thinking is impeccable: Buy a 993, check. Put coilovers on it, check. Wash, clean, maintain, check. Don't drive it at all (well, 1K or less a year)... WHY?

Very good eyes. The car is listed as 'sold' in his inventory pages.

That is exactly what I did.

The why is that I have no commute, I won't drive it in the snow or the rain and I won't drive it on short trips or to places where I don't want to park it. The result is that I get to drive it a half dozen times a month just for fun (in season)...but I don't have the time for more. The car is maintained perfectly...I just am not able to drive it as much as I would like to. Kids, other hobbies, boat, etc. all eat away at the day...but I couldn't imagine not having it so there you go.

DC, i understand the concept. I just don't subscribe to it, that's all.

Interestingly, I haven't had to commute since buying my first 993 in January 2004, exactly 8 years ago. Plus I've spent at least a year and a half since then in Europe and a few month outside of Boston without a P-car. And I've always had one or two cars in addition to 993s in those 8 years. Nevertheless I've put something like 40K miles on the pair of 993s in that time. Which I still think is ridiculously low. That's how I enjoy cars.
