Finally got my dream car!!

Just bought a blue with gray interior 2004 996 carrera with the aerokit and sport exhaust with just over 2,800 miles for 65k. I absolutely love it!! I probably could have gotten a 997 with more miles for not that much more but I just really like the headlights of the 996. The sport exhaust sounds great. It is nice because when you are cruising you don't hear it so much but when you romp the throttle it is loud. I am happy now because I can finally stay with M3's and not get smoked every time. The power is incredible it only has 320hp but you get pushed back in the seat so much compared to the TL.

Can someone tell me how to post picks because I have no idea. I will try and post picks as soon as possible!!

You have to host the pictures on a website, like www.imageshack.us, then once they are hosted, you have to use some coding to allow the image to be displayed. It would start off as [img] <image link> [/img] and it will display the image.

I use tinypic.com as it doesn't req. membership, is very user-friendly, and gives you the the format - all you do then is copy and paste the "[IMG]" code that pops up! Ask if you need more help.

Nice! I almost picked one up a few years ago... glad I didn't (only because it was out of my price range at the time and would have barely been able to afford one).

Grats on the car. You have something to drive for the Chi-town winters right? Did you get an extended warranty on it? Take it from personal experience, you're going to want an extended warranty on a Porsche...

Mind sharing with a fellow 26 year old what the HELL it is that you do for a living. I have been busting ass for the last 10 years, and im still stuck in a 97 beater.
