After reading this forum for over two years I feel that it is finally time to stop lurking and introduce myself. I am a 22 yr. old who recently finished college and I have been addicted to all things Porsche, especially 911's, for the better part of ten years. Last January with the help of my very understanding parents I had the honor and the priveledge to make my dream of 911 ownership a reality. I spent four months searching for a 911 to call my own and after many trips to see cars that were advertised as "perfect" I finally found the one. After a clean ppi and a few weeks I had a 911 sitting in the garage.
In the last 8.5 months I have driven over 10k miles and the car seems to get better with every passing mile. I try (with the help of the search button) to do most of the maintenance and what I cannot do the fine folks a Protec Motorsports are just a phone call away. My friends always ask why I got a 1988 Carrera when at the time I could have gotten a C5 Vette for the same money--I just tell them they wouldn't understand and never will get what all of us Porsche owners already know (and personally I like corners). Interestingly I grew up on muscle cars and my parents still have a Corvette that since I got the 911 dosen't see much action anymore, just too many squeaks and rattles for me now that I have gotten used to the 911 that is as tight as the day it was made. I am planning a suspension refresh this winter and I am sure I will have many more questions then. Pelican has all of my business and this board is the best I have ever seen.
