Super!
Very very nice! You are one crazy Porsche fanatic! Soon you'll have a little Porsche museum! Please go try the Lamborghini Huracan - yes, Lamborghini drivers have a reputation for eccentricity - and I'm not sure either of us would fit that typical profile - but the car is also VERY VERY GOOD and shockingly reliable too.
This arrived this evening!
Got home to find this big truck with my new go cart in the back. Was talking to a mechanic friend of mine that is going to do some turbo upgrade/rebuild and he said the Glacier white is called the unicorn of 993 TT. Because of its color and how rare the c...
Congrats. Drive and enjoy it for many years to come.
So much movement in your stable; what’s the current line-up, if you don’t mind sharing?
I don’t have everything with me.
But I have SUVs and trucks and sports cars. But.. in the garage right now I have these three. Please excuse the mess I’m trying to figure out the garage situation. Putting in a lift on Monday and then two more in a couple of months. ...
Hmm what a mess! Nothing in my house stays clean for more than 5 minutes ..
With three rug rats always running a muck.
What happened to your 991 turbo? Didn’t you have one, and a GT3 too.
As for the cleanliness and 3 children running around; that just adds to the fun of luxury item ownership
Very exciting, congratulations 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I look forward to reading more of your comparisons. How do you mean it’s like a toy compared to your other models? It is a beautiful specimen.👌🏽
It’s really small in the interior, no cabin lights, gauges are really dim.
When I was cleaning the leather this night. I was so crammed in there and I’m not a big guy. 5’11 185lbs. Need to have my little gremlins in there doing the next cleaning.
Many congrats on this one ! A true stunner !
I think you need a 930 and 964 turbo to complete your collection 😂. As for feeling cramped … i am 6’6 and … i put this in my toy car 😅 ...
You Sir are a true driver:)
I think one vintage is probably enough for me. I may change my mind the longer I have this one. But for now it underperforms my other cars by quite a bit and last night I had to break out my phone to see where the keyhole was to start the car at night. It...
The ‘problem’ with new Porsches …
… they are soooooo perfect . Last year i had a go in a new Boxster 4.0 400 hp, so the one that revs to 7800 rpm i guess. Everything felt so perfect and flawless and that offcourse has its charm as well. I also had the chance to compare the 300 hp 2.0 Caym...
Awwww! Little Man is too CUTE!
It's a Europe Spec car! Did you bring it in under the 25 year rule? It looks great! Hard to imagine these cars were so small back then. They're much smaller compared to the 991 and 992 generations.
Way smaller! You can see the size difference compared to the 991.
It’s a US car with a European bumper conversion. Good eye Patrick 👍 Wait until my 992 RS arrives it will look like a car dingy compared to that track monster.
Super!

I like Lamborghini..
It’s my wife that detests them. And if I still want to have a smudge of a romantic life with her. I’ll stay in this lane
Ladies like the Aston Martin!
Although most of the Aston Martins I've driven weren't exactly my style. Haven't driven the latest ones though - I hear they're sportier oriented and less grand touring oriented. Hmmm... Tell her the times have changed - and Lamborghini is more mainstream...
Nico, I think I’m done for a while after the 992 RS.
I just don’t have the time to enjoy them all but I feel very blessed to have what I have.
congratulations again
when I had my oceanblue 993 tt our youngest was born and for the years to come he and his brother (three years older) were seated in the back. I am 6'3 and it was a heck of work to get them into the back with those kids seats... last weekend also the youn...
You’re reminding of how fast they are growing up.
And that scares me. These times are so tough with them but everyone says enjoy them while you can because you’ll always want them back. I feel like I’m failing in that part, I can always be a better father.
I am sure you are doing quite well
we can always improve in education but the level of love is always "full"
Tell that to my wife.
She is one of those hyper focused moms where I never do enough for the kids. It’s good and bad, but pushes me to try to be better.
What a beauty Jorge!
I find the shape of this car very appealing, plus having a smaller footprint 911 is very cool. Last air cooled as well. Enjoy getting used to it! I think you have the worlds hardest schrub to trim in that little "cutout"! I drove a nice g body last weeken...
Very nice Kevin..
Ahh yes that smell, I went back into the garage this evening and it smelled heavy of oil. I’m used to the cosmoline smell on the new cars but this was distinctly oil.
If you even knew half the stuff EJ sends me😉
He came over to see it being unloaded. He gave the approval then went back to washing his CGT.
Thank you they are a big reason why I purchase certain cars.
They have some say when I’m thinking of which car to purchase.
He indeed did, and had significant say on the 992 RS build. He has been my eager co pilot as of late.
My other boy doesn't like high speed and my girl is getting older so she just wants to play pokemon with the neighbors kids.
Fantastic car in what looks like amazing condition!!
German import to the USA? Have fun and try to get your kids not to dirty it too much, although that may create some first good memories 😀 The noise of the exhaust must be lovely!! Best, E.
Noise is a bit muted compared to my 991 GT cars.
But that’s ok, it’s a cruiser and weekend kick around in comfort kind of car.
Nice specimen!
you are lucky the "White Collection" did not get hold of it before you
I’m a sucker for older cars.
I think from the exterior I vote for this one versus the others. But I’d want the insides (interior to some degree and engine) of the new ones. More to do with upkeep, reliability than wanting more power or assistance. Congrats on this one.
This was sports cars before they got all bloated.
Like I said good or bad it’s different. I love my new cars and you definitely feel how outdated this car is. But that’s the charm as well.
Thanks Steve,
You can never have enough garage space. A house on my block just sold about a month ago that had a 6 car garage. Although, it being about half the size of mine, I can’t help but feel a bit envious of that new owners garage. But three lifts will allow me t...
6 is very good.
I live in the country and some people build larger garages than their homes. It’s kind of amusing to me 😀
That's when you know your neighbor is a "good ole boy", like we like to joke around about.
My neighbor is a single guy that lives in a 5k square foot house that he bought only because it had a 5 car garage. He chased the garage and ended up with the house as a bonus
Exactly.
There are a lot of good ole boys where I live, and the funny thing is that they’re genuinely really good folks. I’m so glad to finally be out of big cities 😀
Wow ! - What an arrival !
Continue to drive & enjoy it in the best of your health !! Best & Cheers !! 😊
Daddy where do babies come from?
Well my son, they get delivered at home by a big red truck
Many have said that! Mainly the old timers:)
I appreciate the car, and I needed to get one before they actually get into stupid values. But... I love the water cooled as well and the creature comforts that come with the new as well as reliability. What I appreciates about the car is that it is hand ...
Agree
The 993, i know it from race games. As a kid i was always impressed when i saw a 993 and the older ones. Sure, the modern are fabulous. I spot a few in your garage. It was great that the pilot goes full speed wat was possible in the green hell. It was glu...
