Here’s a pic of my new/old girl getting loaded up to come home to me. After spending some time with my neighbors 993tt I couldn’t shake the want to add this to my car collection. I have to say my neighbor has been a bad/good influence on me. ...  

Oh boy! Big congrats!

I think my little man’s facial expression here says it all😂

 
 By: jp884 : August 28th, 2023-17:44
He’s wondering why his new 993tt is taking so long to get here😉 He wants it now! ...  

Awww. He is too cute!

I can babysit him for a couple hours one night if you and the family come to the SF Bay Area. You and the missus can have a nice romantic dinner. Little Man and I will find some fun activity to do! I'll teach him some of my favorite board games!

Patrick you are too kind!

 
 By: jp884 : August 28th, 2023-18:18
But he has a twin brother and an older sister who is 6 so I wouldn't dare do that to you. They leave a place looking like a Tasmanian devil just went through it. Next time I'm back in the SF area we will grab dinner though. If you don't mind having a mini... 

Happy to!

If you're in SF and in need of a time out with the spouse, I'll come to the hotel and babysit the pit crew of three! The hotel rooms are usually Tasmanian devil-proofed! Hopefully I won't be too boring for them!

Whoa sweet addition

I have never driven one of these, but they seem they would be perfect. Small, powerful, aircooled, air-cooled, epic style. That last picture reminds me when I was on car forums like 12 year ago a guy who s/n was kuzi- all yellow porsches and red ferraris.... 

Thanks Kevin..

I try to buy what I consider special cars and I think the 993 TT definitely fits as one of those.

Niiiiice!!

Thanks brother.

One of these days I’ll drag you to the dark side👍

Just buy her a couple of handbags and you're good.

 
 By: jp884 : August 28th, 2023-18:19
That's what I do and it's worked out well for me

if only it were that easy

my wife was raised by North Dakota farmers. spending money on anything other than food is considered a crime

So...... you haven't been completely honest with your wife about your watch collection?!

 
 By: jp884 : August 28th, 2023-18:55
That sounds like a powder keg getting ready to blow my friend.

Yeah….

nice!

had a 993 TT with 450hp for ten years and enjoyed it thoroughly ) ...  

993

 
 By: Weems@8 : August 28th, 2023-17:28
Everytime it is breathtaking. It is so a pure 911, a marvel. I consider my first 911 must be a 997 3.8S, and let a 993 be a dream.

Any 911 is a good car in my book👍

 
 By: jp884 : August 28th, 2023-17:50
I love the 997 line as well. Will probably add a 997 RS as I regret not buying one 6 years ago when they could be had for a song. Nothing in the 992 lineup speaks to me so now I need to look back to move forward.

992

 
 By: Weems@8 : August 28th, 2023-18:17
That is maybe an option for those who want buy a brand new 911. I have no intentions to buy a new 992. But it can be the 992 become the last pure combustion engine powered 911 when hybride technology is penetrating everywhere. Like the 993 was the last ai... 

I hear you.

 
 By: jp884 : August 28th, 2023-18:28
But the 992 still feels like a crossover even if being ICE because of the dash. The all digital display already hints to electric and i hate that. I like gauges that don't go away when you turn off the car. I feel the 991 was the last of that true analog ... 

When my car is at service

 
 By: Weems@8 : August 28th, 2023-18:57
Sometimes i get a car to lend. But i fast mis my car. The mechanic knows i am baby my car, so he park it safe at his parking. The 991 is a good 911. The GT3 manual and also the PDK is desirable. I was ones in a 991, my eyes opened and i said to myself Por... 

It really is a timeless car!

To think I was a junior in HS when it was released. And it still looks as sexy today as it did back then.

Handsome machine!

Love the blue!!

 
 By: jp884 : August 28th, 2023-18:22
Was super close on buying a midnight blue but the white was so so so so clean looking! Yea the X51 package was a rare upgrade that you don't see all to often. Would have bought that option if it was available.

thxs

 
 By: penfriend : August 28th, 2023-18:46
it was oceanblue metallic. white was at that time my second choice, looks great on the tt

Sure I do!

 
 By: jp884 : August 28th, 2023-19:12
But what do you do when they are your favorite?

True! Hopefully you can take one to the Ring!

 
 By: K-Lo : August 28th, 2023-19:18
Or just rent a Porsche when you are there, these cars are born one the Ring!!

IF... I decide to pull the trigger on the 992 RS

 
 By: jp884 : August 28th, 2023-19:24
I will most likely do Euro delivery which allow me to drive the ring. But I'm on the fence because like I said earlier, I'm not the biggest fan of the 992. Time will tell, no pun intended being on a watch forum.

Merci Beaucoup mon ami!

I needed to get back into a 4 seater for the kids, two seaters are great.

 
 By: jp884 : August 28th, 2023-20:52
But two kids have to stay behind at all times. This was a healthy compromise I feel for a family sports car.

Congratulations, Jorge.

It’s going to fit right in your collection 😀

Thanks Steve!

My Father has your car's baby brother

 
 By: PhoenixGTS : August 29th, 2023-18:52
I helped my Mother choose a 1997 C2S (993 wide body, 2WD, non-turbo) that she gave to my father for their 40th wedding anniversary. They are both still alive and kicking and have now been married 61 years. If January's auction results are to be believed t... 

Yea hindsight is always 20/20.

 
 By: jp884 : August 29th, 2023-20:15
I wish I could have picked this one up 10 years ago for half the price. But better late than never.

Big Congrats!

 
 By: descartes1 : August 29th, 2023-22:24
You’re in great company with that 993! Beckham, Kendall Jenner, Keanu Reeves and me! 😂😂😂😂 ...
