I'm happy with my recent acquisition: '02 996 Cab with Tip

I was skeptical at first with the Tip but it is a daily driver in crap Washington DC traffic. I wanted to get away from my big Range Rover, which was a pain in city driving. The Tip gives me the opportunity to play around when I want to and then can do its thing when I just want to get to work or home.

Current project is adding paddle shifters as described here:

I had a manual 993 on Oahu with traffic that is worse than DC. I did not want to repeat the clutch leg workout requirement this time! Plus, my '69 gives me all the shifting I'll ever need.

2002 with 36k miles at just over $20k. Hardtop and snow tires for winter, seriously.
