Nice LR!

Edit: just read the last post, but what made you buy another 996..?

My Porsche revolving door is intentional. I buy cars, drive them for about 6 months, fix everything that's wrong with them and catch up on maintenance, then eventually sell them. It keeps me busy tinkering and I get to drive a wide variety of cars, which suits my ADD. I also normally make enough to justify the hobby to my significant other.

My 2001 C2 was a fantastic car, as was my 986 and current 1999 C2. Frankly I think the 986/996 is about the best sports car deal going right now, it absolutely amazes me just how much car you can get for your money. They're the rare sports car that can easily serve as a no-excuses reliable daily driver that you can also flog on the track each weekend. The "enthusiasts" that knock the water-cooled Porsches simply don't know what they're missing. I loved my longhood, but I'll keep my A/C, cruise control, and comfortable ride (even with M030) for a DD.
