My first 911.

Long time reader/lurker first time owner. I grabbed this well optioned 1988 Carrera about 3 months ago. It's a two owner car with 178,000 miles. Case has never been cracked. It was bone stock when I got it. I added the following:

*Group4 wheels
*M&K Exhaust
*M&K Cat Bypass
*Steve Wong Chip
*Adjusted the ride height

I'm located in Austin, TX and would love to meet up with some of the local enthusiasts. Feel free to reach out if you want to grab coffee/beer.

I do not disbelieve in anything. I start from the premise that everything is true until proved false. Everything is possible.

Nice! Yesterday afternoon I was in a parking lot taking my son to swim class. That moment I made up my mind that gold wheels aren't my thing. I need to go back to that parking lot and revisit my conclusion. Very cool.

Car looks great. What exactly is the color - it looks black but maybe a dark brown or blue. Need some more pictures!

Beautiful car and wheels - striking and original looking combination. ... Are those the 7 and 8s?
