911-993

Well, after a hot day in Southern California (100F+) I decided that the Targa had to go and that A/C was critical with my next car. I suppose I could've gone with the elaborate A/C upgrade for the 88 911 but I sold it instead and bought a 993.

(I was also tired of my buddys making Miami Vice jokes.)

Wow. Both cars are nice, but the 993 is stunning.

To tie in to a previous thread, Porsche sure hasn't lost the "magic" on that one!

Stunning!

Both 911's are stuning!

Congrats on the 993.

Did you sell the Carrera to another pelican or trade it in on the 993?

On a side note, it looks like the rubber gasket for your hood crest on the 993 was not put on correctly. The sides of the gasket should be flush with the crest. You can probably pull them from underneath the crest with a small flathead out and around the crest.

Enjoy your new ride,
Matt

I sold it on Ebay. The new owner is a great guy that lives locally, and I can tell that he'll really look after the 88 Carrera.

The 993 was purchased locally, from an obsessive guy who had every scrap of paper and receipt on the car since the day it was picked up from the dealer. That helped in my decision. (Although I guess he wasn't obsessive enough to keep the crest straight. Thanks for pointing that out.)

Yeah Jamie Foxx is one thing. I'm talking Sonny Crockett 80's Miami Vice here.

Here's another obscure reference, it was sometimes referred to as the "Dirk Digler" car.

Thanks

22K. It did have very low miles, just over 50,000.
