hi everyone, another newb is joining this forum. i just bought a 1999 C4 with 85000km(52000miles) which came with factory aero kit.

this is my first porsche so i'm excited that my dream finally came true, at the same time very fearful of some of the major issues discussed in the forum.

this will be my daily driver so i will be driving in all weather condition that this great canadian city brings.

For a daily driver in Canada a C4 was a good call. Great looking example. Have fun.

Welcome......you could be my twin. Be careful of the front splitter when parking. It is held on by plastic rivets and tears off if you hit something.......like road kill. Ask me how I know. Nice ride!

Congrats and welcome from a fellow noob. Love the Aero kit on your car, definitely perks up the lines of the car IMHO. Rims are not too shabby either

Welcome and don't worry too much on what your read on. Just make sure you maintain her and keep up with any preventive stuff.

You will find out these are VERY reliable cars to have as DD.
