Post subject:  Hello from Los Angeles

A new member and a long distance one as well. I've beaten on a lot of metal over the years...American from the fifties and sixities, then shifted into Italian and that became my focus until 1994 when a 964 C2 shamed my tame 1980 308 GTSi. Three weeks later I was the owner of a 93 RS America. Business went up and down...the RS got sold...and business went back and I found a rare example of a 95 993. A couple of years later I sold the car because I was just driving too fast on pubic roads.

Fifteen years of nice but pedestrian VW Golfs and when I turned 72 I told myself that if I wanted to go alittle crazy now was the time to do it. A search of current Porsche prices made it quickly obvious for a retired person that the 996 was the bargain of the century. So on September 26th this moved into my garage. 2003 C2...39000 miles. It is my daily driver.

Welcome John

Nice to read an interesting back story of ownership :)

Your new purchase looks great, the 996 makes a good daily driver. Enjoy :bounce:
