[blau911]

Thanks Type. This business about the 911 losing its soul is a laugh. I am an early 911 guy, and we say that about ALL 911's built after 1973.
I have lkooked at the 993's and I used to think that was the car to get. But after thinking it over the past few years, the interior already looks dated and late 80's-ish. There is however a 993 fly yellow C4 that I would like to have. But with more depreciation ready to hit the 993's, I would just assume buy a 996 for under $30k that's only 6 years old and take my chances with that instead. With 996 prices at $30k, how much downside risk can there be...
Well, I am very close to pulling trigger on a 1999 996. With two small children I will be able to get away with using it as a family car until the first child becomes larger than a leprauchan.
