Default Finally my 996 is coming

well after going around in circles for a while on 911's, boxsters and caymans i decided to pull the trigger on this 2000 C2 with 27k miles on it, already has ims / rms done and all the records, and from the photos looks nearly new

in the end i decided on this instead of the cayman because i figure it will hold its value better... well and it was easier to justify to the wife lol

now the wait as it should be arivying next weekend

it will be a winter project to do some upgrades

Beautiful car and welcome. I would recommend only maintenance items as winter projects. Take some time (6~12 months) and get to know how it drives in stock form. Confirm the areas where you want to upgrade and then get started. Enjoy!

And... Darth Vader is in the background disguised as a Range Rover. I noticed it from the breathing sounds!
