03 996 Carrera Turbo AWD

I emailed you about the coolant fittings last night. Let me know if you didn't get it.

Step one, not too dark, I think it worked out great

Some would say your driving the wrong vehicle of the two. I say your wife needs a porsche.

Some would be wrong, my truck is way more epic, and it is for truck use not a toy

After a 1200 miles dash to Sebring and running in and out of the track all through the 12 hours, this car is magnificent. It does it all so well, the driving experience is sublime, handling is effortless, brakes are impressive and the power is prodigious.

OK there are no cup holders, and it is a squeeze to get 2 medium sized bags into the car.

Small price to pay for this sort of a car, I think the herd is about to be thinned, why would you drive a 73 Capri when you have a 996TT in the driveway.

The car goes into RS1 at Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday, we are spending some money.

I believe Prince wrote a song about Sabine.

Cruising around Sebring in line with a Ferrari F430, without feeling like I was out of place, was an interesting attitude adjustment.

Cupholders were an option. The center stack items can be shuffled around, or you can get a set that hangs from the vents.

Are the cup holders below the center vents broken (they are ridiculously expensive to repalce)?

The Ultimate Cup Holder seems to be popular with the 996 crowd. I'll be ordering some soon.

Ultimate Cup Holder

These were delivered to my wheel guy, getting a refresh before tires and mount.

But why? The OE wheels look so much better...

I like the deep dish look. Can't wait to see them mounted.

So come on, spill the beans, what's happening at Rennsport-One? Extra huff for the magic snails of awesome?

What have I been doing with my life?!?!

WTF is going on here?!? I leave for a few months and my favorite Americanized Aussie switches from Fords to fancy pants Porsches!?!

Are you playing games with us, or are you going to openly admit to a midlife crisis? It's a great car and all, but it's not what I expect a guy to drive when he's bringing Little Kings to the party.

Favorite? How many of these beasts do you know?

I don't think he switched....just got a little more diverse.

I'm similar....one of my 911s sits by a bright gold 78 T/A with a huge bird on the hood. lol

Don't worry Bryce, I still drive the E150 van and Sampson regularly, I have the RX5.0, still build challenge cars, still camp at the Mitty, but I definitely have my midlife crisis covered as well now.

1. Kw v3 coilovers,
2. Software by EVOMS,

I'm scared to think of the value of that one picture. Too purddy to hide inside a car, even a 911 Turbo
