Finally got it! My first Porsche!

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the help with picking out out my Porsche. After MUCH looking, reading, learning, deliberating, discussing, oooing, ahhhing, pausing, praying, and finally deciding, I'm now the proud owner of my first Porsche! And it has quickly become my most favorite car I've ever had. I LOVE this car! So fun to drive, and get's lots of attention (which I need to get used to!)

It's a 2001 C4 with factory aero kit, 49k miles, some decent options, and SUPER clean. The only thing missing is the new car smell. And I can buy that.

So here are some picts to share of my new ride.

Thanks again everyone! I'll be a frequent player on this board, hopefully. Mostly learning and asking at first, but hopefully able to help more folks as I learn more. Although, I've already popped out the alternator to replace the voltage regulator due to a low 11V output when the engine was hot. New reg should fix it right up! Thanks Mark!!! (http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=408495) Why is it that almost everything I own ends up having an electrical problem? Ironic that I'm an Electrical Engineer. Hmm, maybe all the machines just knowwwwww.

Very nice car. I bought a 2001 996 about two months ago. Black/black coupe. The yellow is cool, cannot go unoticed. So far a few minor problems here. The fuel filler door actuator seems to have malfunctioned and the drivers door window doesn't drop much when the door handle is pulled. It had 21K miles and the price seemed reasonable. Fun car though, enjoy~!

WOW! The car looks fantastic. Like I said in the PM, I'm glad the write-up helped. I put your regulator in the mail today and you should have it in a few days. Hopefully you'll be back on the road again by next weekend.
